I do really like the GT-R, but at eighty grand i would have to wait a year or more to save up the cash for that one.

I test drove the GT-R multiple times there is no way its worth what they are charging, now mb if it was in the 50k range then i would consider it. The car is too heavy and the back seats are useless, its not even that fast. The car also feels very unconnected as most of the driving is done by the computer. As far as those car mag reviews saying its better then a 911 turbo they are WRONG. If you want something fun and not ridiculously expensive, get a C6ZO6. I absolutely love mine it is the fastest car i have ever driven (has a few bolt on mods). I've test drove almost all the super car sports cars and nothing comes close to the Z except mb the 911 GT2 with a few mods that is. Anything i run into on the road cant touch it. There are many people who may say that its an american POS but thats untill they go for a ride . But good luck with what ever you may choose

Nothing wrong w/ waiting a year (w/ a C63) for a GT-R! imho, that 135 front end is ugly as sin (and I usually don't hate on the forums!).

The Z leaves it in the dust without question, it only weighs 3000lbs, like i stated it is the FASTEST car i have ever driven. It runs high 10s in the quater mile where as the C63 i here does it in the low 12s. But that is stock. Ill let you know as soon as i mod the C and mb ill see if i can get a few vids of them running

The Z06 is significantly quicker in acceleration, specially from a roll. It has great torque, great HP and weight 3100lbs.
