plan since I bought the Z was GT-R. some life things have come up (i.e. fiance', house, and wedding) that may be placed on a slight hold.

currently if all falls into place then I would love the next gen Z if and of course when it actually happens.

if no Z then that Q60 would be a nice addition. however if the production model doesn't look good and the engine doesn't hook me then i'll move on.

from there it's a tough decision. many ways to go just not sure. aside from the price the M4 has grown on me. but the way I would want it is 84K. for that I can get a Z06 or GT-R at the auction with a few dealer miles or whatnot on them.

at the moment i'd like to stay with Nissan. so Z35, Q60, or GT-R is the next move depending on what happens with the next gens, timing, and my bank account lol

the upkeep on a gtr is just crazy... usually runs like 12k a year

a. I was busting balls to my MT friends who bust mine for having a AT.

b. you have 3 more mods and barely more power then mine....plus less drivetrain power loss than me too. I wouldn't be bragging

better question what's your best 1/4 ET?

yea that just comes with having a higher end car well supercar really lol

but that figure I feel is skewed since most people who can easily afford GT-R's send them to Nissan for service. that is something I wont do since it's ridiculously over priced. they wanted to charge me 700 for my 30k mile service on my Z. I did it all and cost me no where near that.

What... you don't want to pay $8K for a brake job?

Oil changes are pretty regular. The usual Mobil 1 0w-40a and filter. Nothing crazy. The brakes will last you a good while depending on if you track. It's only when your out of warranty, mod the car (bolt ons are acceptable; no turbo upgrades, etc.), and drive it hard all the time is where it costs a lot. I've had my fair share of experiences with the GTR. It's a great car, but the Z is a different driving feel all together. Definitely two different cars.

Stuck in kind of the same dilema. I am deciding between an M3 or a newer more powerful Z. Sigh!
