I'd stick with a GT-R, but with all the damn restrictions on the car screw that. Which is why I'm going a different route on an exotic car.Hussain wrote:i'd stick with Nissan and get a GT-R. GT-R has amazing handling and with just a little more power, it would be the ultimate supercar... my friend said some company already has one with 800 WHP... thats like 1,000 HP to the crank!!!

A friend of mine is the service manager at my nissan dealer. I was going to get a GT-R a few months after they first came out. So I went to go get some info on the car from him and my other friend who is a sales/finance manager at the same dealer. After I heard what they told me and they both said the same thing..." Dude just stay with the A/C." The service manager friend told me the following. Oil change every 3K miles $350 it's a MUST, Tires HAVE TO be changed every 10K miles $5K, transmission HAS TO be services every 10K miles $5K, when you change brakes you HAVE TO change all 4 corners $4,700 and you HAVE TO service the transmission after the 3rd R mode launch because if you do a 4th it will automaticly void your warranty. I'm the kind of person who likes to change their own oil on the car so I say to him "Well is changing the oil hard I do it to all my cars?". He says dude you touch the engine in that car and it voids your warranty. I then asked him how would Nissan know if I do a 4th R mode launch and he replies with "Dude the car has a freaken black box that's linked to Nissan. I said SIHT never mind I'll just keep driving my A/C. To me it's not the fact of paying all this money for the service of the car. Because I will have peace of mind knowing that the car's engine and performance life will last a great time, but with all the HAVE TO's and MUST's put on the car to me it doesn't seem like a car to enjoy. It seems like a damn job and priority. Sorry for the long post just wanted to explain my answer.sammyboy wrote:What restrictions?
hahahaha wtf bro u really are a lil rich boy lmao god i love that car I WANT!!!!!!!!!Rob.Vegan wrote:
That thing is a beast
Yeah the thing is, you don't have to do any of those things. I'd buy it and drive the s*** out of it. until it rattled and made crap noise. then I'd do my own oil changes with s*** oil and change the tires with used ebay ones. after a year or two I'd sell it. and the brake pad I'd buy some cheap canadiantire ones. also i'd rip the blackbox out too. and the warranty they can keep it lolMr.Coupe wrote:

lol yo there is no way you can get a 360 for 40-50 thousand. the testarossa which is an 80's-early 90's car is not even below 50 thousand yet (even if you can find it that cheap). the 360 is still close to 100,000 probably 70,000 the cheapest.toxik wrote:sports cars are just as expensive after you buy them.... it's like a package.
For example, Ferrari 360, you can get one for like 40k-50k, but it's 10k every 6 months in services. And that's if... IF it runs like it should. Those cars break down every other week and you have to go get maintenance. Part of the reason why they are so cheap.
Don't buy a car and drive it a lot unless it's built to be a daily driver, which the GTR isn't even.
Just get an M3 or M6
i went to an auction website not to long ago that someone showed me, there was a 360 that went for 58k. You can resell em for 70k, but no where near a 100.crayzitalian3 wrote:

I hear you dude and this is true. I'm in the market for an exotic which I will be buying in the next couple of months so I've been doing my homework on them. I've spoken to many exotic owners, dealer staff at Lambo, ferrari, Rolls Royce, ect and have read many books. It's a fact that an exotic car is not to be driven more than 1,000 miles a year. Like you stated people shouldn't buy a car to drive a lot if it's not built to daily driving.toxik wrote:Don't buy a car and drive it a lot unless it's built to be a daily driver, which the GTR isn't even.
see that's the thing I want to be able to drive it that's y I thought of this instead of say a lamboMr.Coupe wrote:
