In a late night ceremony at a Universal City, California dealership, Daryl Alison took delivery of the very first GT-R sold Stateside - by the automaker.

That's a test car, much like every other company, i'm sure they have dealer plates and all, and makes me wonder, what do they do with these test cars, they're obviously not sold in public, can only test them for so long...

one of the pre production models im guessing

[handinpants]

it is markup city the dealership i work at sold all their prepaid sticker price cars and only have 4 ones now but they are marked up.

who cares if the owner's crash it, it's not like a maybach where you goto clubs and shit driving like a fuckin granny. the car is made to perform, get me behind this shit and i'll drive the dog-shit out of it. that's why you have insurance.

[Ace Callaway]

That's why we need to go to school and study hard so when they make the next GTR, we can have a ballin as job to afford a ballin as car. :bow: YE YE YE

What is everyone talking about there has been a gtr on my side of town here in vegas for about a month now. This is the second website I have seen today about the "first" US gtr

[lflkajfj12123]

it was imported

we're talking legal stateside sale

[Canaduh]

They crush the test cars. They're not legally allowed to sell them or insure them. (hence them needing dealer plates while testing)

I had a link to soemthing similar with the new challengers, but yeah, they get smushed :(

Don't get me wrong I'd drive it like I stole it too, its just sad to see a nice vehicle like that wrecked.

[norbac]
