The R35 is a great car but it is not cost effective.

- It is close to 4000 pounds, eats tires for breakfast and brakes for lunch.
- An oil change is $200, a transmission is $20000.
- It doesn't drive like a sports car (feels heavy), although it handles well at the track.
- My 31K Z has consistently beaten some expensive competition in the form of Corvette Z06's, Vipers, GT-R's, Evo's etc at Auto-X, why would I pay more to go slower?

Even if I had the money I'm not sure I would get a GT-R, there's more driving excitement in the Z. Well maybe if I had lots of money I would get one of each, I'll put snow tires on the GT-R and use it as my winter car.
