I have and I was unimpressed honestly. It's fast yes, but it feels like a Nissan, doesn't feel special at all, it just didn't tingle my balls like a real car does.Originally Posted by stormcrow

"spirited"..
How did I know you'd be hung over?
I call BS. It feels nothing like any other Nissan made. I know as I have owned every sports car Nissan has produced -even in the Infiniti line. If you have driven a GT-R, it was around the block. *haha*
No I've driven it on the back roads around, compared to other cars I've driven and the hype I was disappointed. It's personal preference, it's not even a top ten impressive car. I'd love to try one around the track to really beat it up but it just doesn't suit me driving preferences. Plus they look like shit, no offense.
There's your problem. Back roads for the GT-R are like "touch & go(s)" for an F-22 Raptor.If you ever get to experience one on a track, you will be impressed. This is where it shines.
I don't drive mine to its ability. I have taken it to the north GA mountains and could not even push the car to its limits. It was bitter-sweet as I was impressed with the GT-R's abilities, but I, as the driver, was seemingly not even needed. The car practically drove itself. Honestly, there was a bit of a disconnect there. Where I had to really worry about oversteer in my 600whp 350Z...I didn't even have to think about what the GT-R was going to do. But, on the track, where the car can be brutalized, if you are left unimpressed, then I promise there is no vehicle that will give you satisfaction.
I've driven cars on the track I KNOW would KILL the GTR in speed and satisfaction lol.There's your problem. Back roads for the GT-R are like "touch & go(s)" for an F-22 Raptor.

One reason I don't like the GTR and most I know who have them don't like them is the fact the do drive themselves in a sense. I like real dealing with oversteer or fixing understeer, etc.
A friend of mine tracks an FD RX-7 regularly it's basically stock minus suspension, he also has a GTR. There is a reason he doesn't track the GTR.
ummm cuz the 7 cost 70k less?

thats my guess......
Its called a "G" for a reason! get that one!
I enjoy the connection with the car, as well. This is the reason why I stated that the North GA mountains can't push the car to my satisfaction. But, that is my fault. If I would take her to the track, I would enjoy her much more.I've driven cars on the track I KNOW would KILL the GTR in speed and satisfaction lol.

Please do tell me which cars you have driven that would "KILL" the GT-R on the track? There are very few that are capable of such...and these have to be very highly modified. Again, I said OEM vs. OEM. I promise you can't name a car that would "KILL" the GT-R on the track that is an OEM production car.
As for your friend...I bet the reason he doesn't track his GT-R is two-fold. 1) the cost of doing so is ridiculous as far as maintenance goes. And unless he has a hook-up with a shop that performs aftermarket GT-R work, then he is reliant upon a Nissan dealership...which means, of course, big $$$...or... 2) he doesn't want to damage his GT-R.
btw, what is the name of your friend? I know pretty much all GT-R owners in the Atlanta area and I know plenty around the world from NAGTROC. We are a tight-knit community.
I'm not speaking of OEM but 911-GT3 Cup, Radical, etc. Actual track cars. I am willing to bet though many could outrun a GTR in a ZR1, ACR Viper, GT3RS, etc. With the right drivers, I work almost every event at Road Atlanta and see tons of GTR's on track, with much faster cars passing them. It's all driver skill and from the looks it takes confidence to trust the GTR's electronic aids. The GTR's specs and reviews sound great, but in the real world they don't always stack up.I enjoy the connection with the car, as well.

His name is Jonathon I don't want to mention last names for obvious reasons especially on IA lol.
He's tracked it a few times and just said it's not fun, cost definitely isn't an issue for him, as it shouldn't be to anyone who buys an expensive car.
Lets run your car at the track, I will be the instructor and let me do a few laps.
