Hey guys,
Just got back from a local dealership here in Seattle, and I am mulling over everything in my head. Trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger and upgrade my WRX to a GT-R. I think I've pretty much decided that the answer is yes, but I have two random questions for you current and past owners.
1) Do you miss the manual transmission? Every car I've had in the last 8 years has been a true stick and I am not sure how I feel about flappy paddles. Do you guys still feel as much of a part of the driving experience even without the clutch pedal/stick?
2) I'm not sure if I would be able to get a GT-R into my parking garage at my condo. I can drive straight down it in my stock-height WRX, but I know that the GT-R is a bit lower. Last thing I want is to get my brand new car and not be able to get it into my garage... I'm looking at brand new ones so understandably I'm guessing they won't let me just take it home real quick to test it out and add up miles. Thoughts on what I can do to make sure I won't be scraping the crap out of the front bumper/underside of my brand new GT-R every time I leave or come home? Here's a few photos of my ramp into the garage:
Thanks all, looking forward to hopefully joining the family soon!
