Try all you want, you're going to get crap like this.

None of this is to diminish the awesomeness of the GTR, it's a great performer and worthy of the praise given to it...but it isn't a value. Nothing with a $7500 brake job is a value.

If I was going to own one (and I still might), I'm going to drive it the way I want (GPS? Really?) and not going to pay the exorbitant maintenance fees (for a Nissan, performance and "exotic" nature be damned).

Here is some real world maintenance figures on a 30,000+ mile GT-R so some of you can stop bitching. Maintenance all done at the stealership.
Show me the Gallardo's maintenance for 30+ k miles.

Sure, there have been a few highly publicized instances of GT-R gearbox failure, but we experienced no trouble with our model's unit after a year of tough driving, including about 40 full-bore acceleration launches. Let us repeat that last bit: no trouble at all.
In the near future, I'll get one, as it's a perfect all-season supercar, which is exactly what I need.
