I like the appeal of being able to hit 60 in under 3 secs that the GTR provides.. Plus i'm huge Nissan homer so there's that...

But complete honesty I've lusted after this car forever



Thinkig it's time..

I wonder how much the last one to come off the assembly line is going to be worth?

The 2015 GT-R Nismo is only 150K. The Viper couldn't keep up with it.

Nice.. Trying to find one around here that's not a complete rust bucket has been the problem..

I would like something similar to photo.. Bud would stick with a Nissan power plant more than likely ..

The VQ engne out of the new 370z's fits .. Or What would be my first choice if I could find one would be an RB26dett from a Jspec skyline..

It looked awesome, but wasn't the Viper kind of a piece of shite?

$1,300 yearly Tranny oil changes and $3,000 brake jobs are a steep for a Nissan.

Problem is that the Viper is at a price point that is saturated with better performing cars..


It's not really geared towards those that want the pinnacle of the class. It's got specific clientele who are looking for an American made exotic with the world's biggest production V-10.

Only?

The Viper is $85K. And looks soooo much better than the GTR.

I'll go with a Vette or a Viper and use the other $65K for a restored/modded old Dodge Power Wagon.

Agree. The GTR is about as plain Jane as it gets. At least the Viper has a few pieces of flair

Race car drivers only care about racing.

I asked them who they liked in the LSU/Florida game.

Blank stares.

Rich dudes looking to pick up women. That's actually what I'd use it for at least 80%of the time.

I used to work with a guy that said the best part about a Corvette was that it was a 2 seater, so no chick's fat friend could jump in with her and cock block you.
