Spotted: Black GTR in Diamond Bar Country

Spotted a black GTR TWICE tonight. I came home from work tonight at 8 pm and was unpacking my car and heard a subdued low smooth rumble. I turned around as it went down the hill and spotted the GTR's tail lights and spoiler. A couple minutes later I was about done unpacking and I spotted it AGAIN coming up the hill. It was dark and I think it was black and had new plates.

There's a ton of em in Chicagoland area!! I see at least one a day on 53 (silver one) and I don't think its that great looking of a car. To me, it looks like a 350 Z on steroids. I am hearing on the Nissan forums a LOT of tranny problems (related to launch control).

They're pretty rare still in my part of the country. Also, I have only heard of two tranny failures (one being due to hotlapping at a drag strip with the TC turned off). Anyways, still a pretty badass car.
