I have just figured out my next car...

Enjoiyourlife · 07-17-2009, 11:30 AM

Eh.... I would rather get a P car than a GT-R or R8

997 Turbo -- GT2 or GT3.....

Chrisb1231 · 07-17-2009, 11:55 AM

the gt-r doesnt come in manual? thats stupid

anyways its ugly as sin, the computer on the inside is pretty cool, but it makes the interior look tacky, i like the old ones alot tho.

I respect your opinion, but I would go for the GT-R, even if I had $2 mil to drop! After a year your sick of it anyway and want something else. You will lose more than you paid for the GT-R when you sell the Veyron.
Now outside of those two cars, I personally would go for the GT2 or even the GT3.

Of course not. But if he's only buying a car just to "1up" someone, then an $80k car is is pretty weak. There's sooo many more cars that would "1up" the GT-R. But if you buy the most expensive car in the world, then its pretty hard to get 1upped. I wouldn't buy the Veyron either even if I had that much money.

ultimate 1up is a tough attitude to avoid, but my $0.02.. life is better if you drive your own and stop worrying about others

Mk23 · 07-17-2009, 01:05 PM

I think an R8 would be the way to go, seems like everyone has a 911 Turbo now a days. R8 is rare and stylish.

MotoMojo · 07-17-2009, 01:27 PM

Honestly, if I had the disposable income to get any car I wanted, I would get a Maserati (any Maserati). They just look like pure sex to me.

Michael Schott · 07-17-2009, 01:55 PM

The GT-R is an amazing large sports car and a great value but it doesn't make for a great road car. I've read the ride sucks even in the mildest setting. Also, it is ugly and the interior is busier than hell.

Thanks, Mike.

Sweet looking Tornado in the background... I prefer the YF-23 or the F-22 but... Oh yeah the car looks pretty sweet too...

Kiemyster · 07-17-2009, 05:23 PM

your basing the decision of the your next car on exclusivity. nothings wrong with that, but your making it your main determining factor.

no offense, but you sound like a real "cock" --> i dont mean it in the offensive way, i mean it in the terms that your mindless in the idea that you dont know what you really want so you have to look at what standards other people can rach and attain, and you want to surpass everyone just on that note. pretty gay if you ask me.

by buying the car just to see how much it can boost your ego : Not cool

CEG02 · 07-17-2009, 05:36 PM

Ferrari 430 spyder. Hands down. Perhaps a Gallardo lp 560 if you want some AWD. Porsches, audis, even maseratis are all too common where most BMW owners live. If you want something that looks amazing and is fun to drive.. Get one of these! You want something that people are excited to see when you drive by. Depending where you live, an aston martin may do the trick too.

iheartsole · 07-17-2009, 06:21 PM

hahahha. the GT-R is my next car as well or an MB SL500 or Ranger Rover sport

Sure i missed a lot more tiny bits but you get the idea.

The brake job can't seriously cost that much. I am sure the rotor isn't ceramic. Here, check out the gtr myth dispelled.

OP, BTW you will still get 1 upped easy with the GTR. Just realize once you are at the 70-100k range and someone decides to f with you, chances are they have deep pockets and their machine will probably burn you bad.

Nutballa · 07-17-2009, 06:58 PM

No, get a Porsche Carrera 997 4 cabriolet or Porsche 997 turbo.

But if you're really in a good mood get a GT3. hah.

I wouldn't say it if that wasn't from a very trustworthy source.

Came from none other than the moderator on that GT-R owners forum.

citrixscu · 07-17-2009, 07:30 PM

Dude, you are in the bay area also. There are no 1ups here. Some VP in Saratoga will always have a better car than you.

Craig@SupremePower · 07-17-2009, 07:44 PM

if your dropping that kinda coin buy something other than a Nissan!

samchoi604 · 07-17-2009, 09:40 PM

Why are people talking about Veyrons and Lamborginis in here? The OP is obviously looking at cars around $80k, and for that budget, the GTR is absolutely the best you can get. You drive one on the road, and no one can even race you even if they wanted to.

The R8 looks great but like any other Audi, it's not as fast as it looks. Can it even keep up with an M3? 0-60 is a disappointing 4.8s.

1SlowE92 · 07-17-2009, 11:12 PM

my 328 is way nicer than that GTR cheeseball
