I couldn't possibly give you an answer. I am literally years off being able to afford a service of a car like that let alone own one. Never p
thought about which car like that I'd own.

It's not all about it Laps the ring though.

Consumables on the GT-R are shockingly high! Especially when compared to a Porker.

RS4 eats Brakes on track
M3 would be good with mods.

That was a 7min 45second B to G. Not bad, but not enough to get the juices flowing. The one mat posted yesterday with the tuned CSL was lush :drool:
Golf R gone.

haha you and me both. But we all need dreams!

I agree with you, especially as the roads in lincolnshire are shocking at the moment with pot holes and alike! I potentially want to lower my current car but im tempted to wait to spend more when i look to get my new toy next year.

doesnt nissan see the gearbox as a consumable aswell.

Everything I have read about the GTR tells me that they are cheapish to buy considering the performance, but to run and maintain one needs a supercar budget.

Yes, you are right. The running costs are astronomical and that is what would worry me about  buying one. There will be more 10p millionaires running them than millionaires and so maintenance will be an issue. they may get FSH, but what about the hidden costs that could be scrimped on :confused:

The thing is, the new 997.5 turbo with PDK tranny leaves a stock GTR for dead, these semi super cars are just beasts these days. I want one  :sad1:

Thats what I want next..  :drool:
APR Stage III TT-RS - 11.37 1/4 mile - 2.82 0-60 MPH

Oh, I don't know, I still think I'd be looking down the N/A GT3 RS route - I'm not sure I could tell you why though? I think I've never really seen the appeal of a 4WD or Turbo (or both) 911.

This is quite amusing too.
