How many are planning to eventually move to a GTR?

Mannysrt8 · 04-15-2013, 04:55 PM

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

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).

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.

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

Nope, will pay my house off first!
