[Thrilla]

Is that the black edition?! Awesome Sheep!

[MDiau]

Sweet!

[vmx128]

Wow, what a beast! Congrats, Sheep! How much did you end up getting for your C63. Hope they bumped it up from the 48k they were offering.

[Helms]

What a beast! Congrats, does it feel much faster than the C63? id guess its faster but tell us how it is in real life please.

I think the GT-R is one car that is actually faster in real life than it is on paper! 545hp isn't that much when you consider it's 3800+ lbs weight. A car so heavy shouldn't be able to achieve the numbers it does, both in a straight line or around a track. 0-60 in 2.7 secs is faster than a lot of 600+ hp supercars. I think the only cars that come close to it or barely beat it are the Veyron (2.6) and the Aventador (2.8?). Not that 0-60 means much anymore. 0-100 shoud be the new 0-60! I think the GT-R is faster than most supercars till 140mph or so, and then the weight starts catching up. You can't beat a <3000lbs McLaren MP4-12C with 612hp at those speeds.

Love it or hate it, the two words that always comes to my mind when I see a GT-R are: FAST, RESPECT!

Very nice! Thanks for the explanation

[Even Money]

AWD and that transmission have a lot to do with how fast it is. Very nice!!

[Roswell]

Congrats sheep... the Black edition is a mean machine!!

[Fung63]

.... now I feel like going to my local Nissan dealer and test driving a GT-R lol

It's actually one of the only cars atm I can see myself driving if not for the C63 I really really like the styling and performance. I'll get it in black as well lol

grats again!

[Sheep]

Thanks all, and yeah I sucked it up on the trade as they only bump it by another $500, but I did get them to throw in some wheel locks and a car cover. I still have to sell my center console, the trunk mat, and my set of winter tires. Yes it is a BE and definitely a bit faster than the C63. The multi-function screens and NAVI are light years better than MB's (and it's voice reg actually works), but the car does have quite a bit more road noise. The trans are not that smooth at low speed, which I fully experienced by spending the first 100 miles stuck in stop and go traffic. I thought I hated black cars, but in real life it looks pretty good, plus it will give me an excuse to have it painted later. BE is definitely a personal choice, as it adds no performance to the machine. Generally I do miss that great sounding NA V8, and it sucks trying to open the GT-R's door with 2 fingers...

If anyone wants my old C63, then please contact John Sisson Motors in Washington, PA. I sold my car at about 5200 miles so it is still pretty new even for a MY2010. I just hope they won't rip people off too much on the mark up.

I am still trying to learn the car, and I will find more odd stuff about it.

p.s. the GT-R is sightly more stable at speed of 100+ MPH, but I do like the steering feel of the C63 better as it feels lighter

[natman316]

nice pick up! i was never a huge gtr fan but after seeing a couple of them in real life and riding in a friends AMS 10, I am really liking them now. hope you enjoy!

also, how much do you want for your winter tires?

[Sheep]

Not too much. They were $959 new and were lightly used, so I figure if I can at least get half back I call it even. The question is that I have never ship tires before, so I am not quite sure on how to go about this.

[hyperion667]

that's one fugly ride you've got there

[VaclavSV]

Looks cheap! jks. Congrats!! That thing is probably scary fast!

[Jasonoff]

What's the details on the winters?

[dcjwlee]

Lol, remember that troll that was going on about the GT-R being made by the same company as the Juke.

Congrats.

[Rock]

Seems like NAGTROC is a second home to many MBworld members.

BTW, Congrats on the Black Edition.........love that look.

4x Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 235/40/18 non-studded tires that are 90% new. I got them from my local MB dealer last winter. Thanks for your interest.
