Finally got the car!!! Not the one we were expecting!

Taunting me during paperwork



Pic request from my mom



Old and new together



Home sweet home



Up to a few weeks ago, started feeling uneasy about buying the benz. Fact that i'm going from awd to rear drive for winter, buying brand new. Seeing how much I lost in resale value in my Acura (which supposedly has great value) and not wanting to lose a crap ton again when I need change from benz.

Cousin has high line car connections, made some moves. Test drove this, loved it. Sent it for full inspection. Never has been tracked, updated launch control. Clean with 30 000km's. Fluids in great shape (change those in fall). Very cool car, still have to get used to it. Loving the responsiveness of the car. The power is nuts. First sports car ever!

Ask away

Congrats! What year?

[dieseldub1]

thank you, it's a 2009 model

[Calcvictim]

Congrats, I am jelly.

Keep us updated on impressions and get more better pictures.

[jerichoo]

How much was it approx? How does it feel it stand the test of time?

[drumonay]

Wow awesome pick up, super jealous!! Take some more shots when you get a chance, congrats

[Cousin Eddie]

I approve of this.

[JustinCSVT]

I think I'd take that over the C63. Nice ride.

2009 GT-Rs go for $60-75k in Canada.

Congrats on the awesome purchase! I don't really see a downside to this, especially if you got a good deal on it. Isn't even a small part of you going to miss the awesome grumble that current AMG V8s are known for? Which isn't at all to say that the GT-R isn't a fantastic car. Having been out on a road course with a GT-R I can attest to how outragously fast these cars are. And they're so effortless in their speed.

Nice pickup! I've only seen them in black and white so far but that is a nice red/burgundy it seems.

[madmax2k1]

Great car, lousy pics. Congrats.

[Omnilith]

Nice to see it in red.

Sports cars deserve pigment.

[SVTDanny]

I'd take that over the C63 all the time, every time. Nice ride.

Now start with the mods.

[FACTORYBOOST]

Pretty much all I have to say.

[Accidental L8 apex]

As a C55 guy, I say, eh, seems like a fair trade-off.

That parking spot is atrocious though. I can see the future door dings from here.

Samesies. I know if a bought a GT-R I'd probably do my best to spend as little time with the car stock as possible.

[redsoxreturns]

How'd you get out of it?

[Aonarch]

Nice!

[NotFast]

How'd you get out of it?

Good question! Ejection seat?

I'd never purchase something like that to park it somewhere like that *shudder*

Congratulations though, should be a hoot

[ValveCoverGasket]

shoulda gotten the AMG

ive had the pleasure of driving a GTR with bolt-ons and a tune, fantastic car, but... given the choice i think i would have gone AMG

[too_slow]

An aftermarket Ti exhaust would make louder DSG farting noises than the C63 during downshift..

Gorgeous car

[Cassetrop]

H-gregoire ?

You are a brave man.

Enjoy the car

[thisisdog]

What Mercedes were you planning to get?

[dieseldub1]

The angle of the parking pic is not great. But I have plenty of room to get out. And my best friend lives next to me and that's his parking space next to mine. He reverses in, so his driver door is away form my car. I'll be moving to a different place sooner or later. But the fear of a door ding or two will not keep me from enjoying life. This is a car at the end of the day.

As for Hgreg comment, he's a family friend. This was his son's personal car, not an auction car. Had it thoroughly inspected.

Just got a ride in a tuned with meisterschaft exhaust+midpipe. WOWOWOWOWOW. I need that stuff now. I will be most likely doing a set of bronze HRE's with michelin PSS for next year. These wheels and tires are heavy as hell, and not a fan of RFTs.

Anyone know how to connect my iphone 4 to the car by bluetooth? Can't find that part of the manual

Drop the car off at my house for a week, Ill figure out how to sync the phone and will return it to you. In the meantime you can drive my Maxima, it also has bluetooth and is very easy to sync.

He ordered and was waiting on a C63 AMG.

[thisisdog]

I would have defiantly went with that. But thats just me.

[THE KILLER RABBIT]

Congrats man

[VMPhil]

awesome GTR

[YJGUY]

I think this one was up for just under $62k. Looks really nice!

Someone a few streets over from me has a black one and it rumbles when he goes past. Nice sounding machine.

[jmj]

Nice car!
