The GT-R is modestly upgraded, but the real reason for the price increase is margin. Demand is high, so up goes the price!

You can't find a first gen GT-R for less than $55k unless it's been wrecked.. and that's high miles. 60-100k miles. I can find a first gen E60 M5 for $20k though.

Heck no. If I'm saving a ban, it's for someone else...but, that may be an "AZ-career limiting move".

But, you know what I'm talking about, right?

It's a weekend coming up, and I'm going to work at it to not get annoyed at the peep.




But...it's #rubyfriday!

I read the Road & Track ga-ga-ga-lovefest of the Porsche that was posted yesterday. It...seems a bit myopic. And when people try to compare it to the GT-R, they forget that for the price differential, I can probably buy a used NSX too and possibly an S2000.

And I need to ask: Is there ever a point to regularly post the price of used Ferraris that none of us can ever afford? Just askin'.

Now, I live in one of the most unforgiving climates on the planet (no joke)...There are peeps here who drive their GT-Rs year round. Even when it is blizzarding. I know you could probably pull that off in a Porsche too...but, it's still damn impressive the Nissan supercar can be a 365 day car up here.

THAT is showing how it is unbreakable. Again, the Road and Track article is...meh.

I find it funny that there is a certain 2G'r that likes to respond to 3G P&F threads. I find it funny because the guy has never turned a wrench in his life.
