Say what?!
Why the hell wouldn't you...
1. Buy a GTR for that $$$ or...
2. Buy a Z, put about 10K into it and go faster around the track and look better?
WTF?
The Carrera S model puts out 400 hp but now we're dangerously close to 100k with a price tag of $97,000 and change. Arguably my Z is close to that power (depending on what dyno is used  ) and I'm not even force inducted yet.
So you're telling me that some corporate exec boring douche really (that OBVIOUSLY has money) wants to drive that boring car?? With those measly specs??
What gives here? I mean even if the GTR isn't your cup of tea, there are more interesting cars in that price range with undoubtedly better specs as far as power goes. 
PS: the interior is nice yes... but not $50,000 nicer than the Z touring. Really Porsche? |
Why would someone pay 100k for a porsche when cheaper nissans can go just as fast? Well, for the same reason someone spends 20k on a Breitling watch when a $50 casio from wal mart can tell the time just as good. Some people want elite brands and the prestige that comes with it.
