Big markup on the new GTR.

[nismodave]

Total BS.......Not saying I was in the market for one. But I think its BS.:fire

Up to 129k.

Too bad you can't depend on smart people to just not buy them at that price. But idiots with money will prove to the dealers that they were right.

[07ROUSHSTG3]

i am kind of torn on the whole idea of dealer markup. in one hand i think that the simple rule of supply and demand controls everything else, so why should it be different in the automotive world?!?! on the other hand though i find it odd that dealers can get away with pocketing obsene profits on cars like this while the manufacturers sit and watch. when i was looking into getting a mustang, i just could not see giving someone $20K more than what FORD was saying it was worth?!?! to each their own i guess. if someone wants this car, they will buy it, bottomline.

[Yooformula]

man that is a badass looking car but not worth even the $69k in my book. I would gladly dump that on a C6 but not this although it would be close.

[Deggy]

if i had 129k to blow on a car it would have a Nissan badge on it.

[Karps TA]

Wait till we see what the dealers want for the ZR1. People are already willing to pay $70 for the new Challengers.

Right on!! God damn I love that C6.:drool: I WILL HAVE ONE ..............someday.

[nismodave]

GTR and Zo6 are both awesome cars. But I would take a GTR.

[pickardracing]

You were dropped on your head as a baby werent you.

Shit, I'd kill for a C5, let alone the C6. I give a rats ass what that GTypeR or whatever can do. It's still jap junk.

[nismodave]

Trying to get a rise out of me eh?

Not going to work.

Have a nice day.

[Deggy]

To each there own...I just wouldn't pay that amount of money for a Nissan, i don't care how fast it is.

I LOVE THE NEW GTR! Without a Doubt GTR > Z06 IMO

[70challenger452]

I still take a Z06 anyday, I highly dout someone will be able to get a GTR in the 10's stone stock, stock tires and everything

It could be possilbe i'm not saying it's gonna happen but it could. Thing is i'd like to see a Z06 perform in the Rain or Snow if it needed like the new GTR can. for the money the GTR I think is a better buy.

[Smokey1226]

I love, ABSOLUTELY love the zo6.......But the GTR has so much potential is sick!

:rolleyes:

With the performance radials that this car will come with, the only thing you will be doing if you try pushing it real hard in the rain or especially snow, is pulling whats left of your destroyed car and shattered body out of a stand of trees. This ain't some rally bred car with Hakkapeliittas and some ground clearance, it's road car with super performance summer tires.

Example: A buddy of mine bought himself a STi a few years ago, and left the tires it came with on for the winter because after all, it was an AWD car and they go through anything, right? The first good snow fall we got, he never even made it out of his driveway. That's because he was too busy hitting the side of his garage with it.

i see what your saying and yes the awd will be better for traction but who the hell is going to drive a GTR or Z06 in the snow? If you've got enough money to buy either one, you should be able to afford to buy a pos 4wd truck.

[HITMAN]

With a screen name like nimsodave, that's quite a startling revelation. :wow
The problem for you is, I doubt that the car will come in powder blue.

i forgot you can't put snow tires on a car? :rolleyes:

True, But it would be nice to be able to be able to take the car out if it's raining and not worry about what could happen. or if you were out in it and it started raining.

[HITMAN]

Now your modifying the situation. Okie Doke, put four dedicated snows on the Z and it will run around just fine, right up until it runs out of ground clearance, just like the GTR.

IMO, AWD on a car made strictly for running on pavement is kind of a waste.

Oh, that's right, all RWD cars immediately crash upon the barest hint of moisture on the road. :durr
Maybe instead of letting a car do all of the driving for you, you invest some of that GTR income on some driving lessons.

More of a problem is the price tag......70k or marked up.

[GTSLOW]

I might take a a GTR over the Z06, now the ZR1 is another story :D

[88Nightmare]

man I dont know about this new GTR. The front end reminds me of the new EVO, and that new evo makes me want to ralph all over the place

[pickardracing]

New EVO is 100% kick-ass.

honestly im not surprised to hear a comment like that from a person in your current state of mental insanity :rolf :thumbsup

Man it just looks like there is something missing between the headlights.

[pickardracing]

Thanks for the new wallpaper.

[formul8]

Zr1 > Gt-r

[pickardracing]

Zr1 > *

Fixt.

[Yooformula]

the new Evo is hot! I like the GTR and the ZR1 but lets face it, if you dump over $50-$70k on a car, MOST(95%) are not going to drive it in incliment weather so that arguement is pointless. Damm near every car nut here with decent cars wont take em out in the rain and the avg value is what $20-$40k? make the comparison fair. $$ for $$ the ZR1 will own that car BONE STOCK, now that is not to say that the GTR isnt a worth car but it was designed for a different intent and market.

[Todd Z]

I have a 300zx TT that I have had for 15 years and it has NEVER been unreliable. I will probably never get rid of it. I also have two ZO6's one near bone stock, (2004 Z16 #1314), and a 2003 with many mods (track only car).
If I was looking to buy the GTR or the ZR1 it would be a decision that would take some research and thought, performance, reliability, resale and more. What does drive me nuts is guys that only look at 1/4 mile times, it's not 1968 any more.

[70challenger452]

I hate when magazines post 1/4 time. Those guys suck at driving!! Didn't they list the Z06 in the 12's? thats rediculus, how bad do you have to suck to not even get it the the 11's?
