see, you're letting the badge get in the way of your second thought...that it's an engineering marvel. just because it's a nissan doesn't mean it's not in the same company as f430's, gallardo's, and countless other exotics that are price-pointed far above a gt-r. fact is, performance wise, it is in that company.
regardless, i plan on buying a 2010 gt-r and sending it straight to the tuner for a turbo swap and tranny upgrades. reliable 900bhp for under $100k that corners like any premium exotic out of the box...you can't get that anywhere else and have creature comforts under $100k. that's my whole logic behind ditching the m3 for godzilla.
IMHO, the gt-r is a great deal for that amount of money, no matter what badge is on the front. it's not much more than a fully equipped m3 and offers oodles more power with better handling, braking, and all-around performance.
