2005 E55 Black / Black Every available option except Sat radio
My brother came down to SW FL to pick up a GT-R....

So it was official- 'U.S.' at Sutherlin Nissan told me the black on black 2009 GTR was mine. All I had to do was put down a deposit, and wait. July '08 was filled with anticipation, only an estimated arrival date, and knowing that we (me and my wife Diane) would have to fly from Buffalo, NY to Ft. Myers, FL; then drive over 1800 miles back, in a car nicknamed Godzilla- Let me tell you- for a guy who's not easily so- it's intimidating. Sounds like Fun!

I just saw one yesterday at the Sebring racetrack. It looked good and certainly held it's own on the track. I think it was being driven by a novice driver but once it started to rain, he looked like a pro. It was white over black, I think. The outside was def. white. It's a big car......
