Correct me if I am wrong but I believe this is a GTM Survey not Infiniti Survey. They are just trying to find out if they should produce other TT package.

This is NOT a GTM survey. I got this from Infiniti USA after leasing my IPL.
I think it points to them trying to satisfy the "M3" enthusiast crowd. We may be on the bleeding edge of this crowd, but it applies to us nonetheless!

Are you planning to buy out your lease at the end of the term or return it to stock and sell your mods?

I will buy out my lease. I'm $14,000 deep into my car now and would not want to attempt to put it back to stock.
That and the residual isn't much higher than a G37s loaded, so I can't imagine it'll be smart to return vs. buyout, even stock.

I really want a GTR and am working towards getting one after the G, but an Infiniti version would be the nuts! There is nothing wrong with Nissan having a "GTR" in both car lines. IMO

GM has the ZR1, the Cadillac CTS-V and the Camaro ZL1 which have similar running gear, different price ranges and different levels of comfort/performance. And they are selling all of them. Nissan should look at that.

I think they should lower the price and amenities and goodies on the GTR and create a luxury, super car level Infiniti GTR with a little higher price tag.

Any tranny mods? I don't like how slow the auto shifts after coming from a 370Z.

I got the GTM valve body upgrade, not so much for improved shift timing as to extend the life of the stock 7AT at the suggestion of SAM at GTM. The shifts are certainly improved, but I still constantly hit the rev limiter from 1st to 2nd with all that power.
I agree that the G shifts slow, even in DS or manual. This is a design of the "luxury" feel of the car I'm sure. I would prefer more response, but I'm not into tooth-cracking, hard shifts either.

For 100K I would look at other options.
I agree a 60k IPL would compete directly with a M3/S5, etc. Since the M3 is already 414hp, I think the IPL would need closer to 450hp or it will be a step behind the competition when it's introduced, and even farther behind when these cars are updated. Plus, a 450hp IPL would not encroach on the GTR since its hp will be bumped in a couple years to high 500's or even 600hp.
