If you can afford a GT-R, which not everyone can, you would be correct. For those that can not, there are options out there that will allow them to play with the big boy toys.

It is hard to make a camaro to compete with them.

Changing out the down pipe, adjusting the boost and tune completely changes the GT-R. It goes from wild to good gawd with minor tweaks, but they aren't cheap. I think the $1500 list of mods is going to be pretty small.
If it's coming off that I don't respect the GT-R, that isn't the case, I'm just sticking to the OP's original question. I wish the GT-R wasn't such a damn maintenance nightmare. That was what pushed me away from it when they first came out, well that and I am not paying a mark up. I'm also not a fan of cars that require dealer service every 2500 miles. That may have changed, I haven't looked at them since '09 or '10.
Hearing that the breaks need to be replaced every 10,000 miles, if one tire gets replaced they all have to be replaced or the computer cal gets pissed off, and a few other things I don't remember off the top of my head was enough for me to pass. Every time I see one it def gets my attention though.
