What to buy next? I got it figured out.

Ok here is the plan for now.

2008 Street Glide Black and Chrome Brand new $20,000 out the door.
2005 Chevrolet 1500 extra cab truck $15,000 has 37,500 miles.
2008 Skyline GT-R- Number one on the list at the larger Nissan dealer in nation. He would sell me one for Invoice. He said he is getting 3-4 of them. He said 2000 cars will be built, 1200 dealer and they give them based on the stores volume. I will have to wait that is why I did the Harley and truck until it comes in. I got a good deal on the bike and truck????
I did not know that he owned dealership until Halloween night. His son is on my sons soccer team. I am the Coach.

If the Nissan traps at 149.5 like they say and 11.7 et in 110 degree weather, it is the fast production car made. I am sure with a tunes and intake it will run even harder.

Let me be the first to say, Congratu, ... wait ... NO WAY!

Absolutely no stinkin' way!

I will be happy to eat my words, but there is no way that those numbers work.

Trapping 149?

Puhleeze draggin' - that's gotta' be a typo! I'm not a drag genius, but 149 has gotta' be an 8 second car.

Edit: Okay, I checked Dragtimes, 149 is a low 9 second car, really low 9 seconds, like 9.04, 9.07, etc.

Thats what I was thinking. The new Road and Track or Car and Driver has it on the front cover. Nissan is at the Ring as we type. They are currently 5th fastest production car around ring but say they will take #1. The GT-R was like 7 seconds off the record. Faster then SLR, and Z06 at 9th.

But 149 trap. If correct fastest production car ever. What does a Veyron run it in?? What is even stranger is 3.5 0-60 and only 11.7et and and then 149mph trap.

Did any of you read this new Mag yet? If not it is in all the news stands. I will go up stair and get it out of the ****ter and quote more clearly.

Who is Greg, and the what is the largest Nissan Dealership in the nation?

Last time I checked it was Universal City Nissan and the owner was not name Greg. Buena Park Nissan's owner is name Greg though???

Nice choice but at 149mph ... 11.7 is really slow isnt?

Sorry to hear about the Harley

And c'mon guys, use your heads. 149 traps? That's obviously a typo. It was probably 119mph.

Heh, ran a simple "hp from et/trap" calculator online

ET to weight came out pretty close...around 400hp.

Then typed in that 149 trap.......800hp

Just busting chops Draggin.

Car is gonna be blinding with hp with tweaks. Really is the new Supra.

Yeah, the 149 trap is 100% a typo.
The rest of the specs are real though, 11.7 1/4 mile, 7:38 nurburgring, 0-62 in 3.5, awd, 6 speed dual clutch sequential, twin turbo v6.

You better get that in writing though. I tried with at least a dozen dealerships and they were all giving me 5-30k markup estimates. I got lucky and got a guaranteed sticker price at one dealership though and a #1 spot.

Congrats, I can't wait for the GT-R vs Z06 comparison.
