i dont know if this is a repost.


edit: i fixed the heading since it broke its own record

nice wish i could afford one!!!

It didn't break the record, it broke it's own record. Still amazing nonetheless.

jay lenos garage has a good piece about it

And just think in 25 years, they will be just like the z31. Cheap and no longer ahead of its time.

it's possible. maybe every car will be cheap. because the roads are unkept and there isn't any gas...

u single the z31 out like the s30 and s130 are high dollar and ahead of time. they are all great cars just different taste. z31 is a great car as well as the others.

lol, S30's in great condition are worth more now then back then you noob!!! lol, same with the skylines from 25 years ago. pffft, get with the times

they are only worth what people want to pay. i can find a good condition s30 for 2-3k. then go find a late model turbo z31 for around the same amount in louisiana. :armata_PDT_35: ill show you noob on gta. run your ass over with a raggedy ass car then you can tell me to get with the times.:fripper:

lol i dont know if ive EVER seen a great condition S30 go for less than 6-7k now with rust then yes they are like still almost 1k cars lol. besides running people over is noob. ill just RPG yo ass!!! and i was actaully talking mostly to mhinrichs wiuth his statement that the GTR will be near worthless in 25 years.

Actually I singled out the z31 because when it was released its reviews read almost the same as the gtr. I personally like the z31 just fine. great car, fun to look at, wouldn`t want to own one. No seriously though, the z31 wont ever be worth what the s30 is. I mean classic datsun verse 80 nissan.

I don't think the Z31 ever smoked Corvettes and turbo Porsches on the race track like the GT-R is doing....

The GTR is overrated. :unibrow:

agreed. Now to fit that engine into a s30

And ugly....

lol, idk if its over rated, beating so many of the high end porsche cars on the nurburing with a car thats less than half the price. ask me, thats sometihng that should get hyped up. as for ugly, i think i lost alot of the GTR lines, but its def not ugly.

Not ugly....but not particularly beautiful either. Then again, either is a Lamborghini.:102:

remember it's whats on the inside that counts.

I don't think it's overrated; considering it's in the ballpark of $75k and it pretty easily takes a 911 turbo. I don't think it's ugly, but like Mike said, it's not beautiful either. I'd buy one. When I go through my mid-life crisis I may consider it over a Z06 or 911 Turbo. Hopefully that doesn't happen for another 20 years.

True! But it doesn't hurt to have outer beauty too...like the 240Z. :045:

i know that's how i got suckered into buying one(damn 240z sexiness)

Me too!! Sometimes I can't take my eyes off of her...blemishes and all!
