Anyone who pays those ridiculous dealer markups needs to have their head examined. And the maintenance costs are ridiculous too, as well as the fact if you engage launch control and tear up the tranny, it isn't covered. Not that it is a dragster, but still....
ive seen one of the ones that was purchased in NC...it was a guy getting off the exit ramp on Glenwood ave in Raleigh with a Blacked out GTR

I've only seen a handful on the road. I've seen several at the track. Two years ago I got a ride in one at Watkins Glen. Guy owned a Nissan dealer and was there at the Glen. I asked for a ride and noticed a few places he could go more quickly so I gave him some feedback (I'm an instructor). He appreciated the feedback and asked if I'd go with him again and I did. On the back straight coming into the bus stop for those familiar, he was hitting 158 and braking down for the bus stop my ears were popping from the g forces!

And then last year a friend let me drive his at Pocono's single infield. It was amazing. We came out on the track with it already hot and I was behind an M5. We went around turn 1 low because there were cars coming screaming by that were already on track. We came around to the straight between turns 1 and 2 and the M5 let me by and I was able to mash the gas and had an immediate sh*t eating grin Later on in the session the owner asked how fast I was going and I was scared to look down. Going easy (because it's not my car!) I was hitting about 165 at the tunnel turn (turn 2)
