B*stards I say! Those are some sharp looking cars, especially in black. So who's upgrading?

i saw a gray one yesterday.... i didn't know it's a evo till it got up close.. lol look like a base lancer to me.

BAMBAM · 03-26-2008, 11:36 AM

Not I, If i upgrade it will be a Skyline....lol

That's a helluva upgrade Bams....double current price for an Evo X.

brp · 03-26-2008, 02:31 PM

actually the mark up for the GTR in most dealerships is more than what Bam would get for his car!

but the X is "meh" at best!

If I am going to dream up my dream car that is it. Plus if you are dreaming Dream BIG. That thing is sexy and fast as hell. Plus the power plant can take alot..... I will buy used any ways if I do go for it. Just because they always screw the first year over they come out. Also Wait for the bugs to be worked out. Same thing I did on the VIII.

LOL damn is that where I went wrong?

I hear ya though, seen some posts saying the GTR easily puts down 530hp to the wheels with an exhaust and ECU tuning.

Too bad the price tag puts it out of the range of the people who would look towards Nissan for a supercar.

GREDDY · 03-26-2008, 05:54 PM

I'm waiting for 2010 to get my GTR.

Kdash106 · 03-26-2008, 10:15 PM

i am gonna wait till 2012 so i can get a cheap used one lol

xMiSSEVOx · 03-26-2008, 10:48 PM

I know someone selling this one for $130k

It's all ready to go too!

brp · 03-26-2008, 10:52 PM

D@mn that thing is sexy. Look at that back end...ant look at the Skyline....lol

$130K???

LMFAO they can take that price and shove it up their "you know what". That's nearly twice what it's suppose to MSRP for. Bad part is some jackass will pay that kinda cheddar to say he was one of the first to own one.

BTW, if anyone reads Motortrend there was a jackhole who demolished a brand new GTR in Malaysia because he apprantly turned off the traction control and slid it right into a street lamp pole.

Like I said..it's too bad Nissan had to shoot for Porsche, Vette, Viper territory. They would've sold a lot more of these had they targeted the Evo/STi crowd.

I wanna know how long it's gonna be before somebody does a drivetrain swap into a G37 or 350Z....

GREDDY · 03-27-2008, 10:50 AM

But the GTR was never meant to target towards the EVO/STI crowd. It's was in a class of it's own. They never used the GTR for rally racing. They mostly used it to road race.

I'm waiting for 2010 to pick up a new one. I'm not doing what I did with the EVO. I was one of the earlier folks that special ordered their 03 EVO 8 and paid a hefty price but that's because I've been waiting since 1991. I've been waiting for the GTR for a while too but I will wait till all the camotion is over. Just like the the Ford Mustange GT500, now ppl can buy them for $45k, unlike when it first came out the dealers were asking $70k.
