Our first two GT-Rs Arrive!!!!

I take back what I said about the tail lights after seeing more shots of the back - they really suite the car. Man that's a sweet looking car!! I hear that the wheels have "teeth" to keep the tire from spinning free from the wheel under all that torque. Very Cool.

you would think a vehicle with a price tag of 70k++++ would have a better paint job.....aside from that, they sure look nice....

I highly doubt it.......its a fair amount of torque, but not that much.....

I guess my usual procedure for negotiations starting from invoice won't work in this case...

But, again, aside from the paint, it’s a sweet looking car.

I'm assuming orange peel refers to how there is not a 'mirror' finish on the paint job?

my friend works at a dealership. He sold one of these for 115K. But the owner capped the commission so he is walking about with about 1000 in pocket. Really sucks that the owner of the dealership is walking away with a huge profit.

if you look it's also in the floor, so I think it's just noise from the CCD. Don't hate because you can't get one.

Correct, although most cars regardless of manufacturer have orange peel in the paint. But its not as bad as it looks. The reflection off the floor and the camera definitely play a huge part in that pic.

On a side note Ive seen brand new Ferraris with paint flaws, interior carbon panel clear coat cracking from fasteners, etc. It happens.
