How many are planning to eventually move to a GTR?

rudi · 04-15-2013, 10:38 PM

I'd love a GTR. However, my concern is the running cost. I believe it costs an arm and leg to maintain.

This. I can't imagine dropping $100k on a rapidly depreciating asset..guess I'd consider it if I made $200k+ a year..

Only if it was an R34. The R35 just doesn't do it for me.

A 2014 or 2015 GTR is in my future. Unfortunately, I won't be keeping my Z. But my dad will still have his Z, so we'll have the best of both worlds between the two of us.

Here's my current background and daily motivation.

you need to wait for the 15. its getting substantial changes

Jordo! · 04-16-2013, 06:32 AM

waiting for next gen Z.

Dzel · 04-16-2013, 07:48 AM

I'm hoping to keep my Z also. The wife is going to complain about not being to be able to park in the garage but that's no girls allowed anyway! Lol

wheee! · 04-16-2013, 08:25 AM

I think I would rather restore or purchase a classic auto next... maybe a 66 vette or an old Aston....

Dzel · 04-16-2013, 08:30 AM

Man an Aston would be awesome but very expensive especially for authentic parts.

wheee! · 04-16-2013, 08:39 AM

For the price of a GTR, it would be comparable....!

I sold a '67 Mustang to make room in the garage for the Z. I have a bad case of Seller's Remorse.

I would love a GTR however there is no way in hell I will be getting one at this point in life. Too expensive of a car for me. Im still relatively young (24) and getting married this year. Just bought a house in Nov and am looking to start a family within the next 3-5 years. Its not in the plans for me anytime soon lol.

wheee! · 04-16-2013, 10:07 AM

The GTR is a purpose built car that suits a certain demographic. Either you are comfortably wealthy, or you drive for a hobby/profession. Middle American households generally have higher priority purchases than 100k sedans. If money is no object, then why stop there? I would have to consider several cars if 100k was my ball park!
I love the GTR for what it is, but alas it is not for me.

The tranny makes the man... Two half-vagina shaped paddles vs one long penis shaped stick with a leather sac covering it on the bottom. lol

Hahahahahaaaaaaaa.... JK, i just found that hilarious.

There are too many hot cars coming out to know what i will get next. But in general i would luv a GTR.

Haboob · 04-16-2013, 11:17 AM

I wish I could even have the thought of moving to an $80-100k car in the near future. Honestly I probably will never own one that expensive, and if I do, I'll likely go with a Porsche 911 Turbo (I'm a Porsche fanboy) or better.

But like I said, that's probably 20+ (maybe 40+) years from now, unless I hit the lottery, then it's game f*cking on.
