I think the GT-R is a great car, but tracking one extensively is likely an expensive proposition. From what I understand, tracking the GT-R is more expensive than its main competitor, the Porsche Turbo.

Besides the expensive trans/diff fluid service, replacing the brake rotors and pads is a $7500 hit at the dealer. It can probably be done cheaper with aftermarket rotors/pads, but if you're leasing, returning this special car to Nissan with non-OE parts may be a problem. I'm sure the fluid change can be done cheaper too, but it could cause a problem if warranty work is needed.

Personally, I would rather have the GT-R, but you gotta be prepared to pay-to-play.
