Customer had one in at work today. Got a chance to check it out. Cool car (especially since it is out of Japan). Bigger than I thought though.
Sorry, no pics. :(

My thoughts on this car.
My good friends' ex boss(if that makes sense) is the head of sales at one of the local Infiniti dealerships here so he(my friend) was able to get his hands on one and bring it to our bi-weekly euromeets. I got to fiddle around with it fairly extensively and go for a ride and the only word to describe it is meh.
Sure the electronic gizmos are cool and all, but there just is no excitement to it. It's fast, but it doesn't feel quick. There's no sudden surge of power, so lurch or anything. It's just more of a "look I stomped on the pedal, and now I'm going 100+.....neat."
I'd definitely like to experience one to it's full potential, but I was able to get a pretty good idea of what it is all about.
Pics taken at our meet by one of my friends.
and a car that would put it to shame...996 EVT GT800
and a car I would much rather own...it happens to have a ESS stage 2 CFR500 kit on it.
All in all, GTR is ugly, heavy, and uninspiring.
