Just thought I should throw it out there!

lol.... so explain to me why? Lemers has a thread on here about a 5.0/shelby, so now we're not supposed to?

Lemers still has his Z so he's not on the auto-ban list yet :icon17:

I know what you mean, this is a battle between practicality and gluttonous desire! Guess which one is winning at the moment? I didn't realize how hard they are to find, no 2012 models to be found. Which begs the question of used vs. new.

MC - what were some of the noticeable differences between the '09 and '12?

I thought the tranny in the automatic mode in the '09 was a bit choppy, kind of like the SMG in the M5. In manual mode, the shifts were lighting fast.

Thanks,

V

most GTR guys never ever use auto mode as the way its designed its always searching for the highest gear you can be going 35 mph and it will shift all the way to 6th... unless you are performance driving

also the transmission responds to how you drive... if you are just running errands around town some of the shifts can be quite sluggish... but once you start accelerating and braking in a spirited manner it will start shifting fast and rev matching and all that....

the only time i ever use auto mode is at the drag strip to lay down consistent times because as long as its in R mode and you have the gas floored it does lighting fast 6800 rpm shifts that you really cant beat manaully...... but thats about the extent of it... it sucks for autoX and is so so at the track imo


as far as has that aspect changed for 12 vs the 09.... not really the only noticeable difference is how it responds to a 2-1 shift at parking speeds... before it wouldnt go into 1st until you were almost at a dead stop then jerk down to 1st... now it automatically shifts to first while you are still creeping forward...

but over all the 12 is so just comprehensively better in all aspects than my 09....
the 13 is adding about 30 hp and better suspension

Thank you for making me spend an additional $35,000-50,000.

And indirectly, forcing me to do it 6-9 months later :(

automobile anonymous strikes again :rofl2:

Excellent, just what I needed to hear. Thank you.

It makes sense to hold out for a newer model, unfortunately anything from '10 -'12 has a steep price due to limited availability. Pricing may go down on those models when the '13 comes out, if not, decisions, decisions.

My Big Mistake - Part 11. I went to a Nissan dealership after the MAZOC meet up today to see the 2012 GT-R Premium listed on their website, unfortunately when I got there it was a Black Edition, not a fan of the BE wheels. I went back to the previous dealership and test drove the 2009 GT-R, only this time in the R mode and the beast was free to roam at full power.

This is definitely the vehicle for me, I will be putting up the my baby of 6 months for sale sometime this week. Still undecided on what model year, I am on the list for the 2013, if I get a bead on a low mileage '10 - '12, I may jump on it, looking for Gun Metal Grey or Black.

'Tis the Season!

Go for it!!!

Congrats man! Can't wait to see it once you do get it :tup:
