Nissan's timing is not great. They'll sell out the first year at prices ranging from list to a pretty high vig over list, but unless they keep the yr 2 production number super-low the market on it will be very soft. Acura and Toyota/Lexus each have their own 400+hp supercar coming in 2009/10. Chevy is adding the S/C ZR1 to the Vette line as a precursor to the C7. Viper is already @ 600hp in its latest incarnation. Plus plenty of Porsches and the Audi R8 to contend with.

There's only so much demand, and in that price-range superfast doesn't always translate to super-sales. Appearance and mechanics have no discernable link to the Skylines as previously hyped, the initial reviews seem to be that the car is so non-demanding at higher speeds it's not that exciting to drive, no manual gearbox available (we've heard that complaint), and the appearance is probably a bit too similar to the G37.

No, don't race them. But let the dust settle down on these and if it floats your boat you can probably get a pretty decent deal 3 years from now on a GTR stablemate for your SRT-6. I'll give it this over most of the rest -- it does have a pretty decent back seat for a car that can comfortably break the 4 second mark.
