i guess i will save my time and $ for something different... i like the performance numbers of the GTR for sure..and the ease of driving it at sane speeds...but..... i would much rather have a new supercharged exige S if they would bring them into america. f@#king lotus! a-holes!

Keep the viper! with a GTR I'd be stuck in this cycle of "what do I want to do to it next" Ima tinker'er though

'An 06' EVO9 is a better option to get stuck in that cycle with IMO. sounds like you are well off so this option will probably allow you to keep all your other cars.. .

LSX V8 into the RX8 is another option

Couldn't agree more.

I dig the GT-R, but for the money there are so many great options. Plus, it drives itself, like a video game on four wheels. Pass.

Only guys notice GT-Rs - if you want a panty-dropper (and come on, we're talking Scot here), stick with the Viper.

What is better then A GTR? What will out perform a GTR dollar for dollar? What is faster then GTR? I can't think of anything. Not even a car around 300k could out perform a flashed GTR....he'll throw some bolt-ons and a tune on the GTR and a Bugatti will be seeing lights. With just a tune a GTR will smash on any car on the market even up to a million bucks.

Sometimes it isn't all about mind blowing numbers. Should be easy to understand given that you drive the same car I do.

I like the GTR even though I can't and probably will never be able to afford a 100K car. If I did have 100K to blow on a car the GTR wouldn't be my first choice either.

That's cool if you're a street racer.

arguably, off the top of my head, Exige, Cayman S/R, Boxster S/Spyder, 997 Turbo, 997 GT3, R8, Viper ACR, & ZR1.

Who cares about about being the fastest? someone will always be faster. Probably in another built GTR.

That's your opinion dude. Not on paper those cars aren't better. Driver feel does not win races and the American people do Infact care about numbers. Give me a GTR and a few mods and I will make you look silly in all the cars you named.
