A GT-R especially used is every bit as expensive to maintain as the typical 250K + super car. For one if that transmission goes to **** you could be down 20K just like that. Car and Driver demonstrated this fact in their long term test of the car.

Truth.
You break a part on the GT500, easily replaced and costs the same as a standard mustang part to replace.
For those saying they'd rather own a M3/GT-R/Z06, your point with the GT-R and Z06 can be understood, but why would any of you want to own a car that a $27,500 car eats and shi ts out with less than a grand in mods (referring to standard GT vs. M3)?
Things are a dime a dozen here in Germany, the Germans are afraid to mod them for fear of voiding the warranty and killing their 15 year loan investment... yes, they can take out 15-20 year car loans and do, just to drive a fancy car
