^ I was about to come in and post the same thing. Seems like the move is get the base and mod it.
If the only differences are:
- Wheels - Everyone changes the wheels anyways
- Akebono - These are cheap AF now. Grab some rebuilt ones and rotors for under 1k.
- LSD - this is the big one... maybe a used VLSD will still fit?

They need a club (racing) trim like the Miata.
But with their experience and bad press re: non-factory level motorsports and the GT-R transmissions (ie: we built in launch control as a feature but if you use it your transmission will grenade and we'll void your warranty) I can kinda see why they are gunshy.
Doesn't match up with the marketing that they are doing, though.

In normal times, I'd be taking this car for a test drive ASAP. But these aren't normal times, and dealerships barely hold inventory anymore.
The only way you can drive a new car these days is to put money down, wait for it to show up, then test drive it before either moving ahead with the purchase, or getting your money back.

I'm not dissing the GT-R as a physical product. I'm commenting on the way Nissan handled it - bad press, even if they eventually covered the issue under warranty. And yes, if the internet forgot about it then Nissan would have a clean slate with this car. But the internet never forgets... even when it should.

I think I'd lean towards a Corolla GR over the new Z, mainly because I would like a fun car to drive in winter.

EJ's are so old though. I would have consider one if they had a refreshed motor. Been in my friends E30 FA20 and that was really nice. I just don't know how I feel about the flat 4's in general though. A straight 3 sounds easy and nice.
I kinda wish they would just bring the Alltrac/GT4 Celica back though! Hell what I wouldn't do for a modern day equivalent of DSM's too. To think those cars were AWD Turbo stick @15k (not adjusted for inflation). The good old days and I didn't even know it.
