Thinking of buying a Nissan GTR

[dtwyim]

991 back seats are actually usable for kids.

GTR rear seat bottom cushion I found too long (proportionally to the available head room) and not as usable IMO.

Firstly, has my post vanished? haha

Secondly, the bold...that is pretty interesting. In thinking about it, I suppose nice cars do mostly attract people of the same sex. I'm sure there is a psychological discussion to be had here, but, eh, lazy.

The EVO is a similar dude magnet, and when my wife used to drive it on her own she got a lot of dude attention.

For a 911, men would either deliberately ignore me or give the w anchor sign.

When I drove a V12V you'd get loads of attention from GI(N)LFs ...

Get the GTR if you'll be able to find places around town to let it loose. Going 45 in a GTR isn't really any more fun than going 45 in a maxima or m3 or anything else. lol

They're great cars, reliable for what is, and make great power pretty easily. At the 1/2 mile air strip drag racing events, the winners are typically UGR G's and GTR's. Jus sayin.

Try a C7 Z06 with manual.

I owned a 09 GT-R (stock and later mod'd) for 4 years before selling it to purchase my M3. In the 4 years of ownership I had zero (mechanical) problems with it. With proper maintenance and driven like an adult the GT-R will treat you well. Track the GT-R and the bills will begin to add up. Due to the wight of the GT-R you will go through tires, rotors and pad often. More often than a car with less girth. But that much is obvious, right? The GT-R is a caged animal that wants to be driven with spirit, which makes it at least in my opinion not so great of a DD. With that said, I miss my GT-R!

Good friend of mine just sold his, and it had 1,200hp. Let's just say there is no point in me ever investing in a fast car anymore after having been in this thing a few times. Everything else is slow for me at this point.

I don't like the cockpit. I don't like the dash. I don't like how front looks, but I do like how side and rear looks. Well, it sounds kinda nice for 6cyl turbo.

The front end of the GTR looks good when modified.

I still like the R34 the best lookswise as far as Godzilla goes, but having driven in an R35, the thing is an absolute beast

[socalgasking]

I had a 2012 GTR for 2 years and 5000 miles.


I loved the car, never did a thing to it, didnt need to.

Now that i drive a fully modded f82 i truly understand what i had in the GTR. The problem with owning a car like a GTR is that there is really no where to go performance wise after you experience GODZILLA.

No other car currently on the planet will give you a better cost to performance ratio.

Why did you only drive it 2,500 miles a year?

I had 2 other cars. I mainly drove a truck to work because of the space.

[gazosnic]

Not a big fan of them. Performance is awesome...but can't see myself in that car. I say go big / go home. Spend a bit more and get a used lambo for awd supercar

A tuned GTR would eat a lambo alive. And not breakdown while doing it.

true... but lambo looks so much cooler. speed isn't everything. maybe I'm just getting older. also the G's are pretty reliable since its basically german made.

I live in miami bro plus I have a beach house in the keys so the perfect roads are there hitting 120 on the 7 mile bridge

I love them and all but for the money its worth it to have a supercar so young ill think about a lambo or rari when I'm older

TRUUE!!! I got some great roads where I could run her

Not really worth it unless you're planning on picking up a used one for 55-60k.

For 80-100k there are so many other cars id rather have. Currently wishing I would have spent more and got a used R8 or Gallardo. Not to mention maybe a F-Type R or Granturismo, The maintenance costs will be relatively the same, maybe even less if you have a independent shop do the work vs a GTR technician at nissan which is required (I Believe) in most cases if you want to keep your warrenty on a new one.

My insurance quote was also less for V10 R8 than my GT-R.

I guess I just stopped really caring about speed. Id rather be sitting at a stoplight with my fine ass girlfriend in a exotic then going 150 by myself Nissan lol

get a 13' or newer GTR and if you have extra money to spend get the new nismo edition. it's easily the most fun car i've ever driven. i've taken about every single new M series (except the x5m) around the track and don't get me wrong they were a blast but the tuned GTR was just mind blowing. it was so damn fast yet still very predictable and controllable. if i had the funds i wouldn't even think twice about going out and buying one and going fbo right now.

you're only 23 and you want to add a gtr to you're "collection"?! what the hell do you do and are they hiring. if your parents are funding this ask them if they're looking to adopt, I could use a gtr lol
