Keep my S65 vs. modded P800 GTR

e55 baller · 09-13-2011, 01:24 AM

Getting the itch for a Switzer P800 GTR....or stick with the S65 which is about to be running real strong and i have an OEM factory to 90K miles and only 13K miles on the clock, low for an 2007.

Oh boy thats a tough choice. I love speed and the GTR is definitely attractive, specially with an 800 package. I would change it...the 65 is definitely a different animal. More luxury, refined and not so much a head turber as the GTR.

e55 baller · 09-14-2011, 01:21 PM

yes defintiely a tough decision for me.

02Drunkenup · 09-14-2011, 05:32 PM

tbh depends on what you really need, If I was driving every day, long distance, S65 all day every day. But the GTR does really suit you better for just cross-town commutes and plus you can use it in less-than admirable weather conditions.

GTRs have officially crossed over into the "feared like the Supra" level on the streets. Every one of them is not pushing stock hp anymore.

I say put fear in the hearts of men and have fun.

If you want something that handles great, will pull like crazy from the lights and don't mind the loss then get the GTR.

If you want a freeway bruiser in a practical and classy shape then keep the W221.

No wrong decision but, at a pinch, I'd say stick with what you have. Rarer.

Agree... but the ability to drive fast in a straight line and turn is always exciting to me. The Switzer GTR's are smoking stupid fast and speed is a drug.

But the GTR is not a daily driver for me--- it really depends on your daily needs if this is your only car.

_AMG_ · 09-14-2011, 10:09 PM

If its not going to be a daily driver then go with the P800 GTR.

BenzoBoi · 09-14-2011, 10:12 PM

That is indeed a tough decision. If you have a nice daily, and want something to destroy 98% of anything you run into...P800 all the way. If you want to do it with the whole family, keep the S.

Max.H · 09-14-2011, 11:06 PM

Simple, S65 as the daily

You'll either be the fast guy with a Japanese import on the block or the guy with a $200,000 Mercedes-Benz.

Stay away from Nissan and stay with Benz
