I walked into my local Nissan dealership and asked if he had a 2014 GT-R. One just arrived. Black w/black interior. Premium Edition. Not exactly the color I wanted. Also, had the winter package with all season tires, which I would prefer not getting. Car was about $101,000 list and the dealer indicated he would drop the price some. Engine has been tweaked slightly from last year for more midrange and faster launches (OMG!).

I've lusted for this car on and off for past two years. When I sat in it I realized that this may be comfortable by sport car standards, but it felt tight and seats were like a rock.

I wish I weren't so happy with my E55. I love the style and comfort and the fact that it is a sedan and can carry luggage and passengers. Plus it has only 48K miles and is like new. Then again it is 10 years old.

For those of you that have driven the GT-R and the E55, what was your impression of the GT-R. Performance aside, how was the GT-R as a daily driver?

Wait for Tal to chime in, has an Alpha (9 I believe) '13 and owned one of the sickest E55's on here.

Research the GTR's data recorder before you commit to buying one.

Do it man. GTR's are awesome!

GT-Rs can't be bad daily drivers but compared to an E55 I'm sure they'll leave your butt sore quickly. I can live with that though...lol

I rode in one that made 6 whp less than my car, and I estimate I'd need another 75hp to hang with it. They just hook up and go so hard and the power doesn't stop. It's an amazing machine that defies physics. I think I'd be to tempted to drive it like a hooligan if I had one.

You can't typically compare awd numbers with rwd numbers. A 400awhp car for example is making more power at the engine than a 400rwhp every time.

lets see if one of the site tuners can 'tune' the black box to have a boring driving pattern so you can swap it out before you take it in for service

Doesn't matter, whp are the ONLY numbers that matter. The real difference is the dual clutch transmission and the ultra short gearing and AWD. That's what makes GT-R's such beasts.

New 911 Turbo S are hitting 0-60 in 2.6 seconds and 10.7ish @128 MPH bone stock. Might be more comfortable too.

GT-ER

They are also $70,000+ more expensive.
