So If I could afford a GTR and not the Ferrari then I would just get a Z06. Don't get me wrong though. I love the GTR as much as anyone else here.

I think he was refering to the transmission on the Ferrari over the GT-R and your views on each.

OK here goes. I feel the need to be abused by 6mt people. My last high horsepower sports car was a 69 350 4 speed vette with a supercharger. Can you say stump puller? It was great fun to drop the hammer at 6000rpm and smoke the tires to the chord. But what sucked was driving through cities stop light to stop light. And would you believe that my clutch gave up? How did that happen? When I was at the the dealer looking at my car I wasn't interested in an at. But those paddle shifters drew me in. I love the 7at. I can drive in auto in cities and man. when I want to go through the gears, all 7 of them. I'm having great fun with my car and that is what matters. Get out and enjoy your car with whatever trans you have. I have no regrets.

Doesn't make a difference in my opinion though. Even if the GTR had some miracle transmission and can shift between gears in less than .00001 second, I would still take a Ferrari over the GTR. My point is that overall, the Ferrari is a much sexier car than a GTR.

since the lowest priced ferrari (458 italia) is $225,000
the question should be would you take one ferrari over
two nissan GT-Rs, one nissan 370z, and one nissan juke (they add up to $225,000).

I would take two nissan GT-Rs, one nissan 370z, and one Nissan juke

Since we're playing the "I Won the Lottery" fantasy game, I'll chime in.
Quality over quantity. One Ferrari, please. Besides, why would I want two GT-Rs?

easy
one for daily driving,
one for the weekends.

if you only have a $225k ferrari to drive, you are going to have serious problems unless you're so loaded that you don't care what happens to the car after you park it.

if one car is enough, one gt-r and $135k in the bank suit me fine.

Right.
Let's get back to reality here for those of us who drive 370Z's and maybe the occasional GT-R owner who hangs out on this forum (since I haven't noticed any Ferrari 458 owners posting).

It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Some Ferrari's are sexy, others not so much. The Italia is gorgeous, but previous offerings were either OK or just plain ugly. Some people can't get past the badge and who could blame them. For the record, I'd take an Italia over a GT-R any day of the week.... for a 612 scaglietti, I'd have to think about it.

It just seemed like you misread his post.
