GTR... Can't do it
- Thread starter TURBO2GO
- Start date
I've liked black cars before anyone knew who chris angel was.... id say hes copying me
My 05 is white if that means anything.....
I think those are photoshopped honestly..... .4 inches would barely be noticable from that distance..... 4 inches in width wouldnt be that drastic too.
These pics my not be to good to use since they are both modded and one could be lower than the other, but you get the point.

Amazing is the fact when this thread started I didn't like the r35, but now I own one! Thanks for convincing me

It's an awesome car. I just have a feeling if I changed my NSX for it I would miss my NSX. Hard to say though... maybe not... I just really really love my NSX.
I am sure you would ! As good as the GTR is, dont get rid of your NSX for one. I dumped my second NSX after buying a few italian "bitches" and regretted it very badly. Got my third NSX and could not get rid of it even when I acquired the GTR. The NSX always stays. Everything else can go.
I have put at least 10k miles on a 2011 E550, loaded with P2 and every option possible, and put at least 5k miles on a 2012 E63 AMG loaded with everything except illuminated door sills.
The cars could not be any farther apart if they were a different brand altogether. The E550 is a great car in its own right, but it does not hold a candle to the E63.
On the E550, the steering is too light with no communication, the suspension is far too soft, and the transmission is not suited for any sort of aggressive driving. Personally, I would actually get an E350 > E550, as it's a better balanced car, has ample power, and gets significantly better gas mileage.

OK great. But what does this have to do with anything. LOL... you're like the blonde chick that tells a story and you keep waiting for it to go somewhere and it never does... Hahah I'm like ok, here comes the GTR part and it never did. :biggrin:
^^ lmao wasted 15 sec of my life reading that.
Anyway, how much back seat room does the GTR has oyagi? Comfortable for the kids?

LOL we get it he likes his E550 but who cares - it's just another family sedan!
We are talking performance cars and the only ones that can be mentioned with a GTR are AMG cars, M-cars, and some select cars.
Yes I have a CT200h hybrid and it gets 47mpg, LOL I don't think anyone here cares.....:biggrin:
No man I wasn't trying to make fun or be mean, I like a lot of MB's and now his post added to my knowledge base, but it's was just a a funny post because I just can't understand how it related to the conversation. Hlakhani I hope you know I was just kidding with my comments.
I think the part that would get me about ditching a NSX for any car is that wonderful depreciation curve that the NSX isn't subject to. You have to think that you'll lose roughly 30k in 4 years on a GTR, and that beautiful NSX that you sold is probably worth more now than when you sold it 4 years prior.
I know that argument is beat into the ground but it was my #1 hesitation when I briefly decided to sell, thank god I came to my senses.
I think 911 TT is the best candidate, has both performance and reputation. Looks good for folks in their 40's and above. NSX is great for enthusiasts in their 30's or below - just my opinion.

Yea ? My 09 GTR was delivered August 2nd, 2008,(4years and 2 months ago) MSRP $72,600. It now has 26k miles, it is now probably worth anywhere between $62K and $65k. Less than $10k in 50 months, that is less than 15% in 4 years. But real car people, especially enthusiasts and performance drivers dont buy cars based on depreciation. Only cigar-smoking guysin Gucci loafers do; you know, the ones who talk cars in parking lots.:smile:
I've logged 1200 kms so far in my week of ownership and so far I'm really impressed. Zero buyers remorse, no regrets AT ALL about selling the NSX. I'm actually very surprised to feel this way after all I've read over the years on Prime from people who are on their 2nd and 3rd+ NSXs. Maybe I'll feel differently in a few years. The car gets A LOT of attention everywhere it goes. It's comparable to my old done up NSX. It hauls ass, fits my kids (aged 4-11) comfortably in the rear and just commands major respect everywhere it goes. Last night my wife and I went out on a date night. I parked the GTR and walked 3 spaces down the street to buy a parking stub. Came back and she was surrounded by 7 people asking questions. She was laughing at the attention
I'm sure I'll pick up another nsx some day but right now with my family situation this is the perfect choice.
I love the fact that suddenly every car on the road looks slow to me.

The point I was making was that I would have a hard time ditching car A for car B for that reason. A complimentary car? yes, but not a replacement. especially when he would be letting go of an NSX that nice. Not saying its the end all deal breaker but it would be tough 4-5 years down the road and see that you have a car that has been dropping for years and the other increasing since you sold it. In clear numbers you could see the margin and decide for yourself if the satisfaction was worth it.
As far as pricing, you're right... I guess I forgot the early ones sold for that little, but now that the new ones are selling at 100k you know that they will see a little harder hit.
More fuel for the fire???!
Congratulations Oyagi!! Can you please start a new thread and give us a detailed review and Pics after you put some miles in it.
Dave.... I officially hate you.:wink: It is because of this thread I am thinking of adding a GTR to my collection!
