I only have to have him in the car to drop him off at her job before I head to mine each day. I also think, imagine being a kid today with a dad who picks you up in a GTR! I have even thought of letting him drive it one day as I usually keep cars for years on end (except this circumstance). I do love my Z but I honestly rarely even touch it anymore, I bet I have driven it maybe 10 times or 20 times this entire year!!! I am ALWAYS on my sport bike as it's just so much faster and more fun. The wife even knows it has been a dream car since 09 when we saw the first GTR's ever sold in Atlanta when she was doing her medical school clinicals there! The fact that she can drive it is just a bonus.

Thanks a ton guys for the feedback, I am reading each and every response and am thinking about it. First thing is first, I want to have around 10k cash to put down on top of what my Z sells for, the bigger the down payment the better and that will give me a few months to really contemplate my decision.

Thanks!

Sounds like you have your answer then. Shop around a LOT when buying and be prepared to pass up on a lot of ragged-out GT-Rs. As others have said find one that hasn't been beaten into the ground. Good luck.

My personal: For that kind of $$ with comparable acceleration and 4 seats I'd be thinking GT350. Sure it's just a Ford, but HOLY GOD have you seen what it can do? Plus you'll keep the raw RWD feel and actually increase your redline to 8250 PLUS have a real transmission. You'll also be buying it new and won't have to worry about how it was taken care of.

I hear you on the sport bikes; I ride a Ducati 848... less frequently now that MD drivers seem to be getting worse. What do you ride?
