How many are planning to eventually move to a GTR?
 
Me,i plan to save till 2015 and get one,the car is just a beast,i cannot imagine anything that even comes close to the performance of this car for 100K.

2 recent videos i watched.

Jay lenos review of the SP engineering GTR and the documentary on National Geographic on the GTR

The car is EPIC,and i want one just not ready yet,was close to pulling the trigger on a 09 with 20k miles,just didnt want to pay $70k for a car that is out of warranty,will just save another 30k and buy new and not have worries of any issues.

I plan to stop thinking about but its just too hard.

I need to move on with my life :(

Dzel 04-15-2013 04:59 PM

I am actually but not till about 10 years from now. I have my boys that I'll have to purchase vehicles for (they will not go past 60). Then hopefully I'll be able to trade in both my vehicles and get myslef a GTR and whatever the wife would like (I'm praying that she wants a used Prius).

KERMIT 04-15-2013 05:01 PM

Nope.

Tazicon 04-15-2013 05:03 PM

AWD is not for me.

shadoquad 04-15-2013 05:54 PM

auto tranny is not for me. I'd rather have a Z06, even if it is slower.

While you say that I've been driving my wife's Charger RT RT with flappy paddles and it's not bad.

I've eaten up a few fellow Charger guy & girls because they didn't use the manual shift or even known it can go into Sport mode!

It's alot mental when going fast...

JungleZ 04-15-2013 06:08 PM

Ide rather buy a house and a used z06. When I see gtr in the Nissan show room i stare at th z"s more

I've driven cars with flappy paddles plenty, but it just doesn't offer me the driving experience that I want.

I'm not trying to tell anyone else what to buy, it's my own personal bias.

Shamu 04-15-2013 06:24 PM

Nope. No overweight sedans in my plans

Dzel 04-15-2013 07:28 PM

In the long run if you don't do a great box tranny auto is what I would prefer especially when pushing 700+ hp

I agree...

I meant to say it's alot less mental when no clutch is present...

m4a1mustang 04-15-2013 07:34 PM

I think I will always stick with manual, rwd cars. I appreciate the GTR but its not for me.

MX52Z 04-15-2013 07:52 PM

No plans here. I admire the GTR but it doesn't do anything for me. On the other hand, I love everything about the Z and I can't help going to the garage to sneak another peek. I've never considered the Z second class or a stepping stone toward a GTR.

zefaulter 04-15-2013 08:23 PM

GTR is great but a little much for me.
I love my Z, I plan on keeping her for a few years then see what's available. Maybe the new supra or most likely a 911... You never know, In a few years, GTR might not be as good as it is now comparatively

gr8-wrx 04-15-2013 08:51 PM

Nope, will pay my house off first!

rudi 04-15-2013 09:38 PM

I'd love a GTR. However, my concern is the running cost. I believe it costs an arm and leg to maintain.

This. I can't imagine dropping $100k on a rapidly depreciating asset..guess I'd consider it if I made $200k+ a year..

gomer_110 04-15-2013 11:14 PM

Only if it was an R34. The R35 just doesn't do it for me.

sfearl1 04-15-2013 11:55 PM

A 2014 or 2015 GTR is in my future. Unfortunately, I won't be keeping my Z. But my dad will still have his Z, so we'll have the best of both worlds between the two of us. :tup:

Here's my current background and daily motivation.

you need to wait for the 15. its getting substantial changes

Jordo! 04-16-2013 05:32 AM

waiting for next gen Z.

Dzel 04-16-2013 06:48 AM

I'm hoping to keep my Z also. The wife is going to complain about not being to be able to park in the garage but that's no girls allowed anyway! Lol

wheee! 04-16-2013 07:25 AM

I think I would rather restore or purchase a classic auto next... maybe a 66 vette or an old Aston....

Dzel 04-16-2013 07:30 AM

Man an Aston would be awesome but very expensive especially for authentic parts.

wheee! 04-16-2013 07:39 AM

For the price of a GTR, it would be comparable....!

I sold a '67 Mustang to make room in the garage for the Z. I have a bad case of Seller's Remorse. :(

zguynate 04-16-2013 08:38 AM

I would love a GTR however there is no way in hell I will be getting one at this point in life. Too expensive of a car for me. Im still relatively young (24) and getting married this year. Just bought a house in Nov and am looking to start a family within the next 3-5 years. Its not in the plans for me anytime soon lol.

wheee! 04-16-2013 09:07 AM

The GTR is a purpose built car that suits a certain demographic. Either you are comfortably wealthy, or you drive for a hobby/profession. Middle American households generally have higher priority purchases than 100k sedans. If money is no object, then why stop there? I would have to consider several cars if 100k was my ball park!
I love the GTR for what it is, but alas it is not for me.

The tranny makes the man... Two half-vagina shaped paddles vs one long penis shaped stick with a leather sac covering it on the bottom. lol:supergay:


Hahahahahaaaaaaaa.... JK, i just found that hilarious.:rofl2:

There are too many hot cars coming out to know what i will get next. But in general i would luv a GTR.

Haboob 04-16-2013 10:17 AM

I wish I could even have the thought of moving to an $80-100k car in the near future. Honestly I probably will never own one that expensive, and if I do, I'll likely go with a Porsche 911 Turbo (I'm a Porsche fanboy) or better.

But like I said, that's probably 20+ (maybe 40+) years from now, unless I hit the lottery, then it's game f*cking on. :tup:

ZMan8 04-16-2013 10:19 AM

By the time I'll be ready to buy a GTR, the next gen one will probably be released and I will be able to
A. Buy R36 GTR
B. Buy outgoing R35 (for cheaper)
C. Buy something else

I love the GTR and it's definitely one of the best cars out right NOW, but in 5 years... who knows what the auto enthusiast market will look like.

1st 04-16-2013 11:03 AM

If I’m going exotic I’m going Ferrari. I know the GTR is a beast but it’s not my style.

sfearl1 04-16-2013 12:22 PM

I'm not sure I'd call the GTR exotic.

I had a 2002 Mach1 cam, bolt ons, forged pistons, and a 125 shot of nitrous. I loved that car but I blew the heads off due to over spray. I fixed the damage and sold it. One of my largest regrets.

What would classify something exotic. I thought 100k was the bracket.

price and/or supercar =/ exotic. exotic has nothing to do with prices. It's more about the over aggressive styling, super luxury, super rare, mostly Italian, usually a bright neon color,and has ridiculous performance. Really Lamborghini created the "exotic". Pagani is the the pure form of it.

ZKraken22 04-16-2013 03:47 PM

lol Man Some of you guys are such drama queens. The car weight's to much. OMG it's AWD, OMG it's not a 6 speed it wont be fun... seriously? Yea we all have opinion's and this is a forum but damn. OP ask For how many of us ar planning to move to a gtr not how many dont plan on getting one. OP I will be one of those ppl. A used 2010 GTR. When ever i can find one for 50k with 20 to 30,000 miles. Already have money saved for GTR SBD700 kit 3,999! Ill trade in the Z as it will be paid off and ill have a reasonable car payment just like now and can still save for a house and stuff. No kids and im only 24 so. GTR see you soon. And im pretty sure in one or two years a 600 AWHP GTR will still be a top dog car in the streets. Cheers!

kenchan 04-16-2013 04:32 PM
