Is the tow point stock or did they put it on for race purposes?

It was custom mounted for race purposes. There is another in the rear. I can tell ya it was scary to watch that hole being cut into a $90,000 car!

They showed you that stuff so you wouldn't steal anything.

Prolly! Pushing around a cart full of 20x brand-new Brembo ceramic discs can be tempting

Yeah, this guy I know's dad was one of the first (if not the first) in the U.S. to have the new GT-R. It lasted about two months. Running 120 down the interstate to get home to his wife (from being out with another woman), rock flies into the radiator but he keeps going so the wife won't find out about his 'other interest'. KABOOM goes liquid-cooled engine. That's one expensive affair right there!!

I dunno if there were any issues with it, but I saw the coolant and oil they use. I carried a big surplus can of the GT-R oil, I think it was 10 gallons and a nice little $800 sticker on the side of it. And the waterless racing coolant? You dont want to know.

Sure does suck being poor
