After that I purchased a '17 370z base model for a project. I have already spent 8k and keeps going as I keep spending parts for my next fi tt. The Z only has 563 miles on it lol. It sits inside my garage. I'm a 28 years old accountant with a CPA, if that means anything to you..
No it's just most people get the impression REAL Porsche owners wouldn't bother racing Kia's, then go on a Nissan forum and brag about it. Lol
But there's a first time for everything... I guess?

The Stinger isn't just a "Kia". That "Kia" will leave your 5.0 pony gts, c6, Z in the dust. Sad, but true. I guess you don't have any friends with porsches too? They'd race anybody who thinks they have a fast car or just for fun. Now, since I'm a Z owner too, I saw there is a Stinger thread and wanted to chime in.

A mustang is 3800lbs
A Kia is 3900lbs
You're 3200lbs.
You're 430hp. The Kia 365... 65hp and 700lb advantage
It just seems like a waste of time. But to each his own.

But thanks for at least showing some respect to the stinger instead of just being part of the negative comment bandwagon. Lol

lol the c6 makes what? 420? and weights less than my 911 and the stinger still beats it? Mind you, I've beaten the stinger by a car and a 1/2 length. Anyways not trying to bash our Z's as I'm a proud owner as well

You're pretty funny...while it is true I don't post much, I have owned GT-Rs continuously since 2008...I'm on my second one (like yours, a 2015), and I'm sure you know as well as I do that the entire high performance driving world (which was upended in 2008 by the GT-R) has completely surpassed it. So yeah, we can outrun all the family sedans we want...but just avert your eyes when you see a Z06, 911 Turbo, M5, etc, or any new high performance car pulls up next to you...if that's the kind of thing you care about. So get out of here with your high post count and your newbie ownership of a used GT-R...

ooooooo yay! finally someone to play with.

i have already put down a newer 911 turbo about a week into ownership. just fyi to get that out of the way.

new M5 yea that now has a touch faster 1/4 mile time but it looks sooooooooooooo blah. thats the equivalent of LS swapping a malibu. yea it's fast but looks like trash. also, M5 is 102-110k before options. looking at much more if you add any package or option. personally for that money i'd get a mclaren 570S. i have seen those for 150K barely touched at the auction.

and Z06 from a roll. dig they wont hook it's game over.

c'mon now calling me a newbie because i have 1 GT-R, yet my knowledge surpasses anything you got.

just because you can pay for a car, doesn't make you a car guy.

Not a car guy?!!? I like you, kid, you make me laugh! Believe me, I know what I'm talking about...Anyway, that M5 price will plummet on the used market in a year or two (just like the 2015 GT-Rs did, which allowed you to get one, lol!) While it's true the GT-R is pretty fast from a dig, most displays of testicular fortitude on the street are from a roll, and our cars are pretty weak at higher speeds. I fixed that by just not racing. And (just so you know I'm a car guy), I also have a 2017 370z Roadster, a 2003 Evo (that I have had since new), a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000Gt VR4 Spyder in minty condition, and a slightly beat up WRX that my kid uses.

P.S. If you beat a newish 911Turbo, the guy didn't know how to drive (just fyi to get that out of the way).

see....i was enjoying this, but then you went douchey, and slid in a cunty little comment. this wont end well for you here.

but for the moment ill play along.

obviously the M5 price will plummet....its a BMW. they do not hold value. a child knows that, so not impressing me with your "knowledge" just yet. keep trying though.

moving down the list here, the GT-R does lose value quickly but not anywhere near a BMW. a new GTR today loses 20k off the top instantly. 2018's at auction 85-95k right now and not the BS 99,999 "pure" model.

however, 09's still holding decent considering their MSRP was 69k and low mileage ones are still going for 45-55k at auction. so not a terrible loss.

ummmm that car list doesnt make you a car guy. just means you bought cars......and not that great showing of taste either.

Lol! Which was the douchey comment? And an internet discussion not ending well? Heaven forbid! Also (and I'm sure you know this), almost no GT-Rs sold for the "base price"...there were almost none of them available in the states at that trim level, so they basically all sold for a sticker of about $76k...but they still hold value relatively well. And which of those cars suggest poor taste in vehicles?
