Subjectively, I think the GT-R looks like crap, on a weekly basis at our local Glen Clove meet you have your Ferraris, Lambos, and a Lotus and then you typically have 2-4 GT-Rs. Guess what, when it comes to looks the crowd doesn't look twice at the GT-R's. So you pay a premium to be the Exotics' Faster Ugly Step Sister, sorry man doesn't work for me.
I think the GT-R is gorgeous ( but i like the 370z's design more, it's perfect), and you can't beat the amazing engineering put into it (a twin turbo V6 thats, going up against V10's and a V16 Bugatti Veyron) for under $130,000. I'm not a track guy myself, but for anyone that i know that wants a supercar and they ask for my opinion, i recommend the GT-R, Lamborghini Aventador, or the Porsche GT3 4.0. That's the beauty of having a variety in all product markets though, you have to get out and test each one to find what fits your definition of a complete package.

To be honest the Stillen supercharger is not a good kit you want an STS turbo its not like a traditional turbo its mounted in the rear of the car no heat issues no turbo lag better mpg currently I'm sitting at 600 RWHP in my 370z and getting 45 mpg on highway at 80-90 mph take a look at his work ststurbo.com Rick is the owner good guy makes the best forced induction in the world no one can copy him because its all patented.

also since its mounted in the rear you have more room for upgrades on the engine F.Y.I
