I've seen a crap load of ferraris, lambos, lotus, bentlys, GTRs (mostly r32s, R33s, but there was a R35 at one at the local meets just a few days ago). There's even an exchange student who goes to the community college who just bought a R8 for twice? or 3 times the cost.

So much for me living in butt **** no where.

they are very fugly regardless if I've driven one and I'm sure they handle/drive very well.

lol, i was just kiddin man. appearance is relative. But yes, they do handle very well. Another thing people dislike about them is the rumors on the transmissions failing after a couple of launches. Which is partly true, but mainly not. They've released a recall for the programming which controls the launch sequence while the tcs is disabled. After the reprogramming, the car is fairly bulletproof.

All GTR skylines minus the new R35 are RHD.

2 month ago i saw a white gt-r driving in the other direction, that thing is a beast, love the motor and exhaust roar. also saw a black gt-r parked. followed an old guy driving a ferrari 599 or 545 i think, and that car sounds like a beast. saw a red nsx driving by while i was filling up gas and saw a black nsx parked while i was driving. saw 2 black Lamborghini's driving by. all within this month.

A few in Calgary because of the oil money, a good looking car with the exception of the roof line at the rear. Looks a bit out of place IMO. Considering it's winter, I've seen 2 or 3 in the past week.
