i'll stick with the GT-R
A lot can be said about any money we put in our cars, and you're right. The money put in the non-RS Q60 is enough to get a used GT-R. A few friends bought Corvettes since it's a performance bargain out of the box. Looks-wise, that's subjective. Power-wise, there's always going to be faster cars.

My dream car is the classic NSX. It's a timeless design with a very simple and ergonomic interior, great gearbox (MT YEA!), and engine. Power-wise, it lags behind the Civic Type-R. Cost-wise, it's ridiculous.

I've had several friends try to get me back in the car hobby and suggest I get an old car to restore. First, I live in an apartment now (sold house, 2 weeks in), and I don't have time and space for all that lol. Second, I'm not going to waste money on something I don't fully like even though what I really like is out of reach.

yea i agree and everyone has different tastes, budgets, etc...

more or less it was my personal view on it. its a Q60, plus at least 10k in upgrades, same weight, lesser awd system, etc...

now you buy a Q60 used and save 10-15k then youre ahead of the game.

there's many different ways to go about cars and mods. i was throwing my 2 cents into the mix here. also, i can finally speak from the other side and not be torched since i now have a GT-R and not the guys just saying i am buying one
