Car Whore
You want me dont you 
I gotta tell you... in the past I never looked for dig runs especially in the M6 but even with my E55 and CL65 (both modded) due to wheel spin but I am launching this thing everyday all the time. I have the new software so I wont void any warranty. Its just a stupid easy car to drive and while Im not remotely close to being a great driver, I have my moments and this car helps me enjoy those moments even more. I pray for red lights and no cars in front of me
The great thing is once I do the engine mods (for relatively cheap) this car will be my fave for sure.

Very nice, but instead of the HKS kit, I would go with Switzer Performance 700hp kit with upgraded turbo's

IIRC, Nissan is doing a TCU "update" that removes (or greatly reduces?) the Launch Control functionality - but then you can drive it like you stole it w/o warranty repercussions. Vic55, is that accurate?

Yes it lowers the launch from 4500rpm down to 3000-3500 and YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TURN VDC OFF TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!! So no more warrenty issues. On my friends mid pipe and cobb tune car I ran 10.95 with a 1.72 60ft with this update.My stock car ran 11.52 -11.6 all day with 1.78-1.82 60fts.

looks amazing Vic.....
It got me thinking...I'll probably get one of these in a year or so.....Then I thought:
"what are the chances of getting one of these on the used car market that hasnt been completely abused??"
Im sure every owner 'launches" their GTR at every light(I would).....not to mention drvies the snot out of it.
what do you guys think?? used car yay or nay?????

The thing I hated most about owning M's was dealing with the other owners at meets and online. A disproportionate number of them are really irritating...

"Brutal" is not what I would describe the GT-R- its more of a linear shot out of the hole but with much force.
"Brutal" is a the CL65 and my modded E55 (W211).
As for the W210- no comparo at all.

The more important question is which car(s) in your garage sets off the ladies of Cali vs. car fanboys.
I'm betting the M6 works on the ladies more and the GT-R is fanboy heaven out there. Personally, the P-car had me at hello.

Sorry i meant the moded W211. I know the older W210 wouldn't even stand a chance. Kind of gives me an idea though. Thanks.

From a dig to 150:
The 997TT would win with the GT-R and the M6 fighting for 2nd. The GT-R would pull out first with the 997TT right behind and then I feel the 997TT over 60 would move away. The M6 launches slower and doesnt shine until over 120 mph so it would make up ground much later.
Rollers (30-160):
The 997TT (modded) would take the GT-R and I feel the M6 would finish 2nd. The GT-R in stock format seems to slow down after 130 mph. Its like the oppo of the M6. Once the mods are done- Im afraid to see what the GT-R will do.
