I've seem to of rustled some jimmies, I do apologize. I'm just stating that (don't forget) the GTR is STILL my dream car, but they're going to have to come down in price before I consider it. 480/545 is just not enough for what you get, I had a 2013 5.0 in 2014 and had fun with it. Maybe I am a muscle car guy. I'm also in the south where v8 is everything. And ZL1's and Hellcats are like the icon locally. I also do not care what others think, simply stating the girl wasn't too far off, hinting that the GTR is dated and needs a redesign. As well as the Z. Nissan kind of upset with the whole auto show a week or so back. Didn't do much. No new Z, no new motor, nothing. Chevy at least evolves models, power, etc. Every few years to compete with Dodge and Ford.

To reiterate I am not bashing Nissan, I love my Z and GTR's I just can't justify it (right now) and am currently a little disappointed with Nissan.

didnt rustle anything. i'm just responding and correcting some of your *random rambling*. nice little touch you decided to add there......

just repeating that you're not against nissan doesnt change the fact that your view on comparisons between a gen 5 camaro and GTR are just asinine.

if you're in the south that would give you even more reason to not go with those cars. that would be the worst just buying some big muscle car only to see 10 at every light like you're driving a fuckin civic at least you'd have plenty of people to make your purchase feel better over time. i mean misery does love company

and we all are disappointed in nissan. you say it like you're the only one.

however, 2020 nismo GTR finally got the pieces it should have had (or had available as options) from the start.

A used one not at a dealer. Those MF'ers will make you buy something else that they can't sell on the lot before they will let you have one. LOL I'll put 10 bucks on it. Watch and see.

With only 660 HP? Are you paying attention Rusty? The Hellcat has 707, and a boosted Z can make that at the wheel!

Was watching a video where they go through all of the scheduled maintenance for 10 years. If you stick to the schedule. It will cost you twice of what the car is worth. Things like replace the fuel cell bladder every 5 years at a cost of $20,000.
