besides the fact that we can do the best numbers in a gtr due to its setup. None of us would come anywhere near the Z06 numbers, being as we're not professional drivers. the only limits you'll find with a GTR are what you have the balls to do, you'll be spinning out all day in a Z06!

+1 rep :icon18:

I honestly think what they are doing to protect the super car in the show room is right because seriously, why would they want people racking up miles on the super car when you're not serious about buying it? It's a flagship GT-R which makes the car special. I think there are others that are more "exotic" or expensive, but I know the GT-R is special and I know I won't be able to afford one so I don't even want to test drive one no matter how much I WANT to test drive it, I want to make the actual OWNER of that car feel like the car is brand new off the show room.

When I bought my Z the dealer offered to let me test drive the one they had behind velvet ropes on the showroom floor.

I declined.

i had to buy my gtr blind--no test drive, nothing. i alraedy knew everything about the car (more than any of the salesmen), so i was sure this was the car. its funny becuase i had been able to drive every car under the sun (f430, gt3rs, turbo, maserati, gallardo, and r8). they just handed me the keys and expected it back by tomorrow...with the gtr, they looked at me like some kinda punk...damn nissan. it was behind the velvet rope with do not touch signs on it. overall had a crappy experience at teh dealership, but whatever...Nissan is just REALLY proud of this car. thats y ur "not allowed" to mod the gtr lol. its a great car tho. and modding is the easiest thing in the world. picked up 100whp with just a midpipe and a tune.

Here in the UK, the dealers are coming to terms with having a GT-R on thier forecourts. Selling a supercar like this is a massive endeavor for any manufacturer let alone one used to selling Sentras and Muranos. So dealers are going to be a little picky as to who drives the car. My advice is to ring the dealer chat to them about the car, name drop Ferrari, Porsche etc then (towards the end of the month, they will want to reach/exceed their monthly sales target so will bend over backwards for you) go in guns blazing, walk the walk, talk the talk and if your still not getting any love from the dealer, threaten to go to the next nearest dealer.

With todays economic climate they just want to sell cars

Good luck

I don't think anyone test drives the GT-R at the dealership I went to. It's inside the showroom. They only had that one. Don't think they're about to go through all the trouble to get it out and on the road.

Picked up 100whp with just a midpipe and tune?Yeah okay????

Sorry, I wouldn't have! hehehe

Koeppel Nissan in Queens, NY offered me a test drive in a GT-R if I bought a Z.

FYI, NYC OG!

:driving:

Blu where are you!!!!!

You got the data on this?

Just visited my dealer. My sales guy said that the gt-r buyers come in with cash and drive out (the dealers has financed *one* gt-r sale). That's it. Basically, if you ask for a test drive, you're not serious. Now, you can make the argument that anybody paying that kind of money would want to make sure that individual car's not a dog, but point is they have the money and intent before they ever get behind the wheel.

What was your reason? :confused:

BTW, the GTR in my local dealer you can't even touch it.

lol i just bought my mb 370z from koeppel nissan 2 months ago, they didnt offer me a test drive in the gt-r :( lol. but right now im trying to see if their gonna void my warranty if i install berk test pipes lol. its a lease.
