Anyone tried to test drive a GTR?

Spoke with a GT-R owner at a track day. He said they wouldn't let him test drive one despite him committing to the purchase. He just bought it 'blind' without

Spoke with a GT-R owner at a track day. He said they wouldn't let him test drive one despite him committing to the purchase. He just bought it 'blind' without a test drive. Fortunately it's a pretty fabulous car to drive that I haven't heard anyone complain about purchasing .

I did a test drive last week and this car is fast. Is it worth 2 1/4 times the 370Z? Maybe!
One of the things I noticed between the two cars is how much more I felt connected to the Z. (Jinba ittai)
There is a new, less than 30 miles, black, GT-R for sale in a Connecticut Nissan dealership for 75K if anyone is interested.

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.

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

FYI, NYC OG!

What was your reason?

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