Had a demo in a GTR today

[Steviebee]

Always looking on PH, AT etc etc as I'm sure most do, I dropped in at Nissan to see if I could cadge a run in a GTR as this is one of the cars I thought I would like to have at some point.

Not for me I'm afraid.

Super fast yes. Exiting? Not really. There was no noise, no drama and certainly no challenge from where i was sitting (passenger).

Dont get me wrong, its certainly an impressive bit of kit. And I know you dont buy them for the build quality inside - but when parting with 45k I dont want switches that look like there out of a 1992k plated Nissan Sunny 1.3 GS.

I came from a 996tt which was a devastating road tool, effortless speed, but no noise, no drama & very easy (almost too easy) to drive fast but a bit dull if I'm being honest. A bit like the GTR but without the cheapo switch gear and anorak Gforce displays.

It was great to be taken for a blast in, and the lad who took me the run was great to deal with, but I enjoyed my 50mile run home more in my 7year old BM
