I don't think anyone is thread bashing, simply pointing out their opinion on what OP asked. An opinion.

Certain cars attract a certain owner owner group base age range. Quite frankly this car is in the middle to slighter higher take home range. That does not affect well off families making this a starter car for their teenager. We are not in C6/C7 range. This is to be expected.

This is one reason why I weened myself off of the civic platform. No matter how sophisticated and tasteful your mods are. You will be dissed and judged by the general populace. And then be given in the end. "It's still a Civic" line.


When I owned a MKII turboed Mr2. I'd probable say the owner age group range at the Mr2OC was probably 32-45ish range. There was not talk of "hella-flush, body-kits, or other exterior mods" as it was taboo in that community.


Simply put. The majority owners of this Z platform don't agree with OP or any type of said/posted mods. When presented in an open forum for opinions expect a wide range and variety in response.

Seriously if this crap keeps coming up im going to sell my car and buy something pricier so I don't have to see my platform drug through the mud. Seriously these "blast pipes" can be left on the boy racer STI's.

To be honest I'm leaning towards the c7. I feel the mod choices are going to be endless.

You can still keep it. You just have to wait them out.

As much as I would love to own a R35. I do not make R35 money.:owned:

I do not think that making a mortgage type loan payment on a car is worth it. If money wasn't an object. No problem.

I need CEO type money. Six figure annual for me to afford a GTR... It's wishful thinking though. Watching others build that platform in YouTube. And other media is satisfying enough.:tup:

Idk man. The c7 is gonna be the rare cat running around. I feel the streets will be flooded with every kid spending his entire months income to afford a base. But I think the c7 will stay in its own class for a long time.

no there will be a million trust me. my buddy at the one chevy dealership by me told me they have already sold 22 of them since november and thats only 1 of the 489304752357023 chevy dealerships around here lol

the one right by my house got their first in finally (didnt hit the quota to get large allocation) and i believe it is already sold in less than a week.

all vettes are like that i see them all over when the weather is warm.

are you thinking of a Z06 version?

the C7's were made in july and went on sale late august/early september pending on allocation of each dealership.

base is 52k, loaded out 3lt/nav/Z51/mag ride control you can get for about 68-72k

the Z06 or upgraded brakes and whatnot Z07 pack is supposed to be about 90-110k most likely. nothing has been confirmed but based on it has equal power to a C6 ZR1 would kinda indicate the price to be similar.

Joepro 02-25-2014 09:28 AM

I love the GTR, everything it stands for, it is gorgeous, powerful but elegant, I ruled it out as a choice because I absolutely must have a manual... I had not bought the Z if I saved my money for 2 years(which would be this year) I could have financed a used GTR at a reasonable payment. I can respect the vette, but just not me...That is why boost is in my future, like next week future :) .

Dzel 02-25-2014 09:37 AM

I would love a GTR after the whole GTM cluster F*%k if I get this promotion I'm trading in both cars. Getting the wife what she wants stacking cash for a year or so then BOOM, GTR sitting in my garage!

(Big IF though depends on this raise thing)

He talks like an early Jesse from Breaking Bad so I assumed he was a real meth dealer. :rofl2:

You better be deeper into the six figures than you think. If your salary starts with 1xx,xxx, then you don't have GTR money. The old rule of thumb is you should never own a car that is worth more than half your annual income. If a GTR runs $110k new, then you need to pull in at least $200k.

Now all that being said a lot of people sign up to be car poor. I'm just saying it isn't a good financial decision, especially when you add GTR maintenance on top of the monthly payment.
