Looking for insight from Z owners who also own a GT-R

Armonster · 04-27-2011, 09:37 PM

I would venture to guess that there are very few engineers less than 5 years out of school that own a Lambo. Of course, that's also because most people choose to spread their money around - nice house/apt, nicer clothes, going out more, and the big killer (family). But if you live like a poor college student while you are working, then sure, a Lambo is attainable. Actually, in the south you see something similar with people living in a busted old trailer park with a brand new SS camaro in the driveway. (And by driveway, I mean the patch of dirt and gravel out front).

The real question is, 5 years down the road will your priorities still be the same? Maybe, maybe not.

In the end it's your life, do what makes you happy.

Yeah I did mention that my priorities would probably be different by then. I guess I do live a sort of Spartan lifestyle when it comes to things like going out. I'm not talking about a new Lambo here though. You can get a 5-6 year old Gallardo for under $100k, which is the only way I would be able to get one anyway. I'm more likely to get a GT-R anyway.

Good call. It's a better car.

Would definitely make a good compliment to the GT-R, but I'm not sure if I want another one or not. I did like how mine looked, however.

Looks great man

Can't wait till I am in the test driving phase to buy a super car

Maybe they will have the GT-R R36 by then
