$65/qt transmission fluid is not an over-rated concern. Things like that
are quite to point. Even DIY, spending 600-700 for a 18K service on your specialized tranny has very little precedence outside of the Ferrari world.

The GTR is a fantastic performance vehicle but it comes with way above average maintenance costs if you are *accustomed* to the lower maintenance costs of typical japanese cars vs. Euro counterparts.

A 50K GTR is still a GTR: it doesn't become less expensive to own, just to acquire I do like the lines of them, and the simple bolt on equation is tempting to the street racing crowd. Personally 300 HP is hard to use on the street, let alone 700 HP. As long as they drive safe I could care less what you drive as long as you enjoy it.
