Well, it cost more, but I'm not sure it's really worth more.

All the Nissan execs probably have to pool their lunch money to get it to happen at all so it isn't really surprising.

at first, i read the roll-out like they were only going to be accepting pre-orders in june-july...

but it still seems like there will be few cars on the road by august, and then the main sports car selling time is going to be winding down...

almost setting up for a 1st year sales slump.

Stats in Gran Turismo are usually not accurate. At least all previous versions. Still find it hilarious how detail oriented they are for most things...but can't get something as simple and black/white as an engine's redline correct.

I’ve seen these in my tiny town in TN. I don’t think they’re unicorns anymore.

TN is also Nissan's home base. It was pretty common for me to see Zs and GTRs regularly when I lived there.
