I believe that we confused the Porsche CGT with the Bentley you are talking about.
They are two totally different cars. I don't think that they can be compared. We have tuned a bunch of Bentley Continentals and while they are hugely fast (in a straight line), they are a huge boat. Beautiful, but a massive piece of kit.

Close enough. It was 80 last time I checked. Not bad for a Carrera GT.

f355C5- between the Bentley conv and the SL55 I'd take the SL55/600/65 every time, though I may be in the minority.

And as for the Carrera GT, it may be salvaged but it says "it runs and drives". I'd pay that if I had it. Fix whatevers wrong with it and save a boat load of money. Why not

There is no 05 GTC, the first one was an 07 andf the cheapest 07's I have seen are 130's possibly 120's now. I have had the GTC and SL65 and the SL is more fun to drive but the Bentley is in another league in style/build quality. I don't know exactly what you are looking for or comparing though, an 03 Sl55 is in the 30's and that isn't getting you even an 04 Bentley coupe. Same money comparison would be an 07 GTC and an 08 SL65.

Not to rain on the parade or anything but a stock GT-R accelerates about as quickly as a stock SL65 or a Stage 4 SL55. Definitely quick enough to put a big smile on your face but not enough to outrun the faster cars on this forum.

You are right the SL55 needs lots of stages to try running with a $75,000.00 GTR. Ran a SL55 He might need 6 or 7 stages, Seriously. I spent a lot of time and effort before my purchase and this is my first car from Japan. I think it is a VERY good product. Big fun factor with the all wheel drive and twin turbo's. Lots of hate for the car .Can you tell me why ? I have had Corvette's, Ferrari, BMW and no comments. But I buy a GTR and wow the nasty people come in droves. And yes I have had MB 560 SEC. Good car a little heavy , but the cost to keep it running was silly. I will bid the forum good bye . And wish all motoring. Thanks for the imformation . bye.
