Default Bright red GTR

I know they are not available yet but i swear i was on the highway the other day. I saw back about a half mile a bright red GTR. I slowed down to 55 and let him catch up, then i dropped a couple of gears and ripped it to about a hundred. I let off and the guy pulled up next to me and then just took off. He went from 65-roughly 100 in a blink of an eye. He then took the next twistie off ramp at an impressive speed, probably like 95 haha. I am stock and had no intentions of keeping with him at all but i just wanted to see him take off in it. They are fast as hell and handle great. I looked them up and they aren't even out for a couple of weeks. It was a CA plate in MA so i think it was probably either some rich dude or a magazine test. They look a lot better in person and sound great too. anyon else seen one yet?

I've seen quite a few here, and every tuning shop that's worth anything has one parked in front with a few mods on it. They're much nicer in person than they are in pictures. I used to think they were hideous, but now they're tolerable.
