Tomorrow i am delevering a 2010 Nissan GT-R to the new owner who happens to be 17 years old. Over $ 83,000 do you think it is like handing someone a loaded .44cal magnum?

Well I am up at 6:30 Am and going in to Meguire's that GTR All Black car with summer Bridgestone Tires I will wipe off the entire car. I just hope the young driver is mature wants to learn how to drive and takes some high performance driving schools. What the heck I am just the GT-R technician.

At least at delevery the car will be as clean as it can be. I hope that 17 year old grows up quickly. I drive a 421 hp rear wheel drive car but I am 54 years old.

Well I met the family they all seem ok. The 17 year old was quite the gentleman. Watch out Houston TX he is heading your way!

I just hope he learns to shoot thru traffic and takes his car to Motor Sports Ranch Houston for some drivers training and a couple weekends at the Drivers Edge course at Texas Motor Speedway.

hi john paul, my contact..... that is a very good question, and whoever is getting this is very,very lucky. the GT-R, i think i can safely say, is a supercar, so as a 17 year old, i would say YES GIVE ME ONE NOW, but if i was older and more sensible, i would say NO.
look at it this way, and how my australian government looks at it. when a person is on there P-Plates, there are a number of strict rules, from a limit on the amount of power you can have (GT-R brakes that), no turbo at all (breaks that one too, in fact it has 2 turbos.....) and no more than 6-cylinders (wow, it didn't break one). so if you proposed this question to my government, they would probably faint. and i would have to half agree.
the GT-R, as we all know is a super car, it is faster then some ferraris, faster than a porsche turbo, or GT 2, laps the nurburg. in record time, etc. but we also now it is one of the most high tech cars on the planet, with some of the best grip and cornering ability in the world. whether this makes it safe is probably a given, NO. with a questionable amount of power....(look at the power to weight, and compare it to the acceleration times)...... ability to drag and drift with the best, and looks to die for, this car is NOT FOR SOMEONE IN THE AGE BRACKET YOU ARE DESCRIBING!!!
if he has been driving for a few years, has a better then normal license, and is a politician.... then maybe, but i don't think that is the case. please mate, use a little logic on this one.
This is the exact reason why every teenager that challenges my FC3S RX-7 ends up in an accident, because they have no idea how to handle the car. I also carry my cell whenever I do, so I can call 911 and get help on the way. So far, no fatalities yet.
Honestly, giving any teenager with such a fast car is like handing a 13 year old guy some porn and telling him not to look at it. That kid has no business in a GT-R unless he can pay for it himself with the money he earned by working at a real job. And even then, I'd STILL set the limiter to 60mph and 3000rpm untill the kid had some wheel-time under his/her belt.
It's like what Robin Williams said about the National Guardsmen posted at the Golden Gate bridge: Be bery bery qwiet, we'we wooking fowr tewwowists.
Sorry i got to say these are all very girly cars. And any mustang newer than 1970 and with a engine smaller than a 351ci ( VERY GIRLY) no matter the color. I'll take any BIG BLOCK car of the 60's to early 70's even if its pink. My manly car 1979 Nova 454ci BBC 500hp, 550fbtq,3300lb,8mpg ,T-350 tranny w/308 gears, 0-60 4.9sec,1/4mile 13.1sec @110mph in second gear at 4,943 ft above sea level, top speed 140 give or take. 2 seats no ac,no heater 2 years to build on spear time totel cost of build $7k. Been driving for 3 years with out one issue ( rear tires seem to not last very long). PS buy a beater and build your car ( cheaper and way more FUN than any thing you can buy theese days)
What the heck. A new GT-R R-35 Scyline are you crazy. First of all it has a least 480 hp 0-60 in around 3.5 secounds. Butt load of money . Import car from japan. Usally illegal in the united states. to fast for a 17 year old, unless he's a goody good and is really responsible. I woundnt if it is his first car.
