For the lucky 1,700+ people who have already preordered their 2009 Nissan GT-R, the wait is about to end. On Monday, July 7th, Nissan will begin delivering its first allocation of GT-Rs for the U.S. market to dealers. According to a Nissan spokesperson, the 70-percent preorder rate for the GT-R exceeded the automaker's expectations, and we somehow doubt Nissan will have a hard time finding buyers for the remaining 30 percent.

Pricing for the GT-R remains the same, with the base model coming in at $69,850 and the premium model listed at $71,900. Destination and handling costs amount to $1,000 and the only options available on the 2009 model are an iPod converter ($360), GT-R floor mats ($280) and the "Super Silver" special paint ($3,000). Make the jump for the press release.

It shares pretty much nothing with the G35.

In it's class I think it is a great car and will be a serious contender. But it's class is not Vipers, Vettes and Porsches.

in the super GT races in japan it came in both 1st and 2nd place for the 1st,2nd, and 4th rounds. (the 4th round was just held).

round 3 had some complications, and also they had weight added to them (100kg) because they won the previous races.

i wish nissan would enter into some porsche, vette,and viper races so we could see how it would fare against them.
