Nissan will send just 1,500 of its new GT-R sports cars to terrorize American streets with the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6. GT-Rs will only be sold through select dealerships, determined as dealers who are proficient in selling cars that pretty much sell themselves (those with high 350Z sales) and are willing to install a special service area and train service staff in the art of GT-R. You can place your order beginning Jan. 1, 2008, but don't think about getting in line before checking your bank account. You'll need $69,850 to get into a base model and $71,900 to wrap your hands around the steering wheel of the top-level model.
