I wasn't trying to have a go at you, but in retrospect, I guess it may have come off that way. However, I've been around cars long enough to know that fast car doesnt equate to a fast driver. However, there are a lot of good drivers on these forums.

new 350Z = $32,000
mods for 700hp = $35,000 to $40,000 with no warranty
GTR = $77,000 OTD with a warranty
Humm??? You do the math here....

the maintenance costs for that car will also be very high (not that maintenance costs on a highly modified Z aren't astronomical either I bet!)
and damn, 77k OTD (taxes, etc?)? good deal right thurr!

I talked to a dealer at Bales Nissan last week when I was picking up some tranny fluid and he told me $90,000 to reserve a new GTR. That seems a bit high.He also said it's up to the dealer markup.

2. The whole warranty issue is a dicey one. if you are smart enough to play the dealer right, he'll be forced to cover the maintenance under warranty
3. Who said maintenance would be astronomical for the GT-R compared to the Z? This isn't a super exotic car that requires engine-out service for any small repair or replacement.

You guys probably have no idea what I spend every year to maintain/fix parts on my car. It probably be cheaper to own a new 911 turbo.
Dont get me wrong my car is bad @ss, and I love it, but its just not reliable for the type of driving I once in a while like to do.
If I get a GTR will i mod it? of course I will, but I did learn a bit with my Z, and I will wait a bit longer before doing so.
This Team O'Neil Rally school is so sick two more days of getting sideways!!!
