A GT-R accelerated and passed me earlier today on I-45. That engine has a great sound. For that reason (and others) I can understand the appeal/why you would buy one. I was just reading a Motor Trend article (on the internet) about the GT-R. The first comment was written by a SoCal buyer who had just bought one (the article was about the 2012). He wants to put a cat back exhaust system on it, but only if it doesn't void the warranty. I think that would ruin the appeal of the sound. I like the fact that it isn't too loud at low revs (I listened to one idle on YouTube). I imagine that if one were 'soft pedaling it', one could pull away from a house in a residential neighborhood (when most people might be asleep) and not wake anyone up.....and then enjoy the deep throatiness of the exhaust at higher revs once on the interstate or in a rural canyon.
