Saw a couple of EVO 10's running around already

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

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.

$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....

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.

I know what it was meant for. I was making a simple statement of my opinion.

I'll tell you, if it was targeted the EVO/STI crowd and it was around $40-$50k, I would've special ordered it already.

The dealer mark up would still be 35% or more....LOL

I bought my 03 in spring of 04 after everyone who HAD to have one spent a premium penny on it. I walked away with mine under MSRP so I think I did well.

As for this car, I really doubt it's going to depreciate too much over the next couple years due to the income class that it targets. $70 grand is just too much in my opinion to spend on a hopped up 350Z. (once again, just my opinion)

Just like the iPhone....people spent over $700 to be the first to own one and then threw a bitch fit when Apple reduced the prices a few weeks later. What a bunch of morons.
