Probably not if performance was my only interest.

Among other things, I just don't like the way Nissan handled this car from the very beginning...of course I also think it looks like garbage, but that underwrites why I can't stand it...

Most likely not. I was looking for performance (power). I was looking at used cars, also. Had intended to buy a used and already modified 300 SRT8. The dealer had sold it while I was waiting on my deposit. I went to the Chevy dealer next door to seek out a Trailblazer SS (Used). the dealer asked me if I had looked at the new Camaros. I loved the look but wanted to keep the price under 25K (why I was looking used). He got me to take a ride. I agreed to move the price I was willing to pay up to 30K to get me into the bottom of the SS price range. That day I drove home my RJT 1ss/non-rs manual. price $30,500.

Hey everyone, we installed this feature in the car that helps with launches! It works great! Just one thing, if you use it, we'll void your warranty, so if you grenade your transmission and we find out that you've been using it, you're SOL!

The only reliability issues where the early transmission problems. My friend has a AMS modified GT-R and hasnt had any problems with his besides wanting more power. The car is sick. Did 199 mph at the texas mile when it was just tuned. He runs 9's all day with it. He also was the first GT-R to get in the 9's.

Exactly, there is ZERO HOTNESS with that car. I'm not sure how much it costs, but from what it sounds like it is BIG money. NO WAY I would waste good money on that. Of course this is my humble opinion.

Like the car, hate the business practices of the company.

I love my SS but it's not like GM has good business practices either. I didn't see the government writing checks to Nissan. Just saying

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
