If you spend that kind of money on a car, it should make you want to go out in the garage to just stare at it. The Jag has that, 911s have that. Hell, even a C7 or a Z has that. The GTR? At least you can't see the outside from the driver's seat. It's a shame, since all of the previous GTRs were gorgeous. This one is a solid "meh".

jag is ok at best. overpriced and it's saving grace is the sound if you spend the 100k on the top version.

911.....looks ok. looks about the same forever and its a wider/longer version of the cheaper models cayman and boxster. 182k base for a turbo S which honestly turbo verison is the only way I would ever even consider one. the gt3 rs is about the only semi-good looking one as well.

you all are fuckin retarded sometimes.

if a GT-R wasn't an option i'd take a Z06 C7 over either of the two aforementioned vehicles in a heartbeat.

Pretty much this. I'd never buy a Jag, but I'd lease one and give it back the instant it breaks.

Agreed on the Z06. I'd take that over the GTR any day, especially since it's the only one you can get a proper transmission in anymore.

You can get the Cayman GT4 in the proper transmission, I am not even sure that they offer an automatic. IMO the best all around choice for 85k unless you want a DD, but none of these are really DD cars.

Depends where you drive everyday...lol

I would rock a Cayman GT4 everyday, for the record.

The 911 is considered a DD car. At least in Germany. Here in the US maybe.

This should help with some of the argument
What's Faster In A Straight Line: A Nissan GT-R Or An AWD Jaguar F-Type R?

think a few of you have been drinking a little early today.

Of those 2 I would have to go GT-R for sure. For a lot of reasons, but the 911 or as mentioned before the GT4 Cayman would be my choice for a DD.

GT4 cayman you wont be able to get ahold of unless you want to pay 150k+ or wait for one second hand.

if you're swinging that money get the Nismo GT-R and call it a day right lol

before I spent $80k on a base 911 I would personally buy a Cayman GT4 for $85k
Every allocation for the GT4 is sold, and people are selling the allocation already and flipping. So that 85K, add more to it. Thats a stripper too, add anything and it climbs fast. I have a 911 C4S, and once you get to drive one you really don't want to drive much of anything else. Sure lots of cars have more HP, but the overall experience is what counts. Only thing I would consider? The GT350H with a few options. If your tall like me, you can't fit in a C7 vette...I tried for 20 minutes to adjust the seats...no good. Maybe Tata Motors have improved the reliability of the new Jags, but I doubt it. If I was spending 80K or so, I would get a used 911 GT3, by upping that number some.

Even for the Cayman GTS cars, which are being traded by their owners to the dealers for the GT4, they are asking for MSRP and at times above MSRP....for used ones. Its silly stupid. Yes, a lightly used Cayman GTS can cost you above 85K....

yes it can and is not worth that kind of money at all.

GTS with PDK bases at 80K that's before all of the high priced options.
