Are you nuts? Who cares about the price tag...$600,000, $100,000....that's not the point of this car. It has the insanely high price tag because it's not a mass produced car. If the GT-R was limited to less than 20 in the overall production, you'd see the price tag reflect that too. The amount of R & D and actual work involved is staggering. To honestly be a car enthusiast and not appreciate that this exist is kind of sad. It's a niche product and not meant to dominate every supercar on the planet. It's an experiment into the "what if"...and the Nissan chose to produce a very limited amount because there was an interest. There's no need to whine about it because it cost to much. It's just a matter of perspective. Check out the Gooding & Company or the RM Auctions and you'll see what I mean. A GT-R might be expensive or fairly priced to you, but bargin basement to a multi-billionaire. I've driven a Gallardo, which is an amazing machine, and it hardly "feels" the price tag when you're actually sitting inside one. My point is, you gotta take projects like this with a grain of salt and a sense of humor.
