From the reading I did, the tranny fluid was $80 a quart if you order it yourself and it takes 10 quarts. $800 in fluid alone.

I don't think my buddy has paid that on his, that seems a bit excessive TBH. That's Ferrari/Lambo service territory.

It could be, because we have a great GTR tech here in Phoenix though. He is top notch on Z's and GTRs - I've heard that he doesn't like his bay to be "ugly", if you know what I mean.
