Default I think I saw a Nissan GT-R today!?!?!?!?!

Ok let me clear myself. I'm one that is usually aware of "special" cars, I usually spot them without actually looking for them.

Well this morning going to work I didn't pay attention to the cars in the other lane going against me. There were 3 cars, pretty close to each other. I didn't pay anymore attention, but for some reason I glanced back in the rear view mirror and saw this, but in white:



I could only see the car for maybe a second or two until the van behind it covered up the view.

Now when I caught that glimpse, that's the first car that came to mind. And I know for sure it wasn't an older skyline so that's out of the quesiton.

So I'm asking if anyone else knows of any other car with a similar back end because I'm nearly 100% positive that is exactly what I saw. Those taillights are one of a kind, that's a key.

This is not a big deal, just wondering. I don't live in a Cali-type area so seeing an expensive car is very uncommon here.

A couple months ago an Audi R8(silver) pulled up to me in the city. And someone who lives in another city drives a new viper coupe(red). Then some short termed memory dude hangs out at a corner gas station nearly every day for at least 8 hours with a newer viper(copperhead edition, just had white stripes painted recently). I might spot a GN now and then, but that's about it.

I've seen a lot of cars living in lots of cities, but still have never seen an NSX, Gallardo/Murcielago, or any ferrari besides the modena. Those are the top ones I can think of.

Not that any of you care....

Lol, i saw one yesterday, white on gunmetal, they are sexy. and everything you've heard about the car....is true. My buddy races them on tracks all over and the thing is a beast to say the least. It is a true track rat. As far as seeing another car that is similar, maybe a modified g35? Other than that, they're pretty unmistakable.

you must not get out much, or you don't live near a city. I see nsx's, lambos, and all types of ferrari's from 360's to 430 and 599. I guess it just depends on the city.

I've lived in new orleans(where I saw most sports cars), Maumee/Perrysburg Ohio, and basically in/near Camp Lejeune NC(military base) all my life. So yeah, not many expensive cars outside of new orleans(lived there about 14 years ago)

i'm near charlotte/atlanta areas so that might be why, good weather for most of the year and no road salt, that's another major concern.

I have seen 2 recently. A white and a blue GT-R within the past month just driving around about 2 miles outside of WCU. They are AMAZING looking! I was like holy ****, those are beautiful.

they're not that 'fugly' if you've actually driven/ridin in one, which i'm assuming neither of you have.
