still runs 11s though









Dude for the price of a mclaren, you could have:

-a GT-R which is just as fast as the mclaren

-a spare GT-R which is just as fast as the mclaren

-$145,000 of free currency to spend on a boat, hookers, blow, and a holiday in the bahamas

 

Or for the price of THIS one, you could go halfzies with a buddy on a used R35 which has already been molested out of its best years.





And wind up with 4k in scrap metal in a decade. A wise investment that is not.

 

83k -> 4k in ten years time is not too bad.





In terms of actual dollar cost per year, that's probably less money than buying a brand new (six figure luxury car) off the lot and selling it three years later.

 

37k -> 150k (in 5 months time) -> x.y million in ten years time is even better.





Unless you think this will go the way of the Espada, which I highly doubt.

 

If I wanted to go fast in the quarter mile I would do it in a Fox body Mustang with a huge turbo V8. I could run GT-R/McLaren beating times for something like $5k total.



Did you see the episode of Top Gear America where they put the McLaren up against a NASCAR on a NASCAR track? It was pretty eye opening. I don't think the results would have been the same with a GT-R.

 

Now at 90K. It doesn't even look like the inside of the car got wet???

 

Can't watch TGA.



I knew Rut in HS and now he has my dream job. Also he couldn't beat the damn Gallardo with a Murc SV.

Also, not funny imho. Proper Top Gear is the only Top Gear in my house.









I've long joked I want to start Fifth Gear America, change my name to Vicki and burn down the TGA studio.

It's a legacy thing.

 

If the car looks good, it's because somebody with enough money to have bought the car in the first place also is likely to know a good detailer.

 

You're talking about a 12C and comparing it to an F1? The 12C is NOT an F1. That's like saying because the old Ferrari GTO is worth a fortune, a used F430 is a good investment.

 

Fine, lets compare it to the Ferrari 512 TS:



1994 price = $198,000

2013 price = $93,000









There is no way in hell that the GTR will be commanding 50k in two decades. Same point, less extreme case.
