Yea, i bet that cost a good amount too, import tax+jacked up MSRP.

But hey, if you have the money for it, more power to you! It be sweet to have the first one on the block, or in the country.

I thought this was getting closed down or am i thinking of another gathering of exotics?

Could of sworn it was this one and neighbors and such complained even though it brings in huge business and is just clean fun.

Either way GTR looks nice, bet the guy owns Ferraris and such as well so to him thats nothing.

Maybe it's owned by the two Chinese brothers from the family that own JFK Food (a major Asian food distributor in the US). The two brothers drive crazy cars as far as I remember (things like McLaren F1, F50 and the like).

It was at Crystal Cove before until Ford/PAG (Premier Auto Group)/Mazda graciously picked up the event.

Agree. It's a nice car, but nothing earth-shattering. Saw one at DC car show...BFD. Would never waste my money on one. I'd take a 997 TT 100 times out of 100 over that thing...don't care if it's supposed to be cheaper than the Porsche, either.

I agree, the ass is beautiful, but the head needs to be bagged like a butterface.

In his defense, I think he's talking about styling. Performance-wise, the GTR is clearly a beast, with one of the most impressive engines ever made, IMO (at least from what we've seen so far). This car will be talked about for years.

But from a purely aesthetics point of view, I too prefer European styling (specifically Italian and German) over Japanese styling.
