I'm sure the ZR1 will give you a lot of "smiles" for that measly extra $30K.  | HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I read the whole thread.
This reminds me of guys who get their first job, realize they make enough money to just afford a 3 Series and then proceed to go into debt and spend all their disposable income on a car.
Sure they look cool since they drive a "BMW", but when it comes time to fix the car or keep it maintained they find they can no longer afford it.
If you make enough money to be able to get a $100K car then you can just as easily get a $130K or $150K car. Unless you barely make enough to buy a $100K car, in which case my original comment about your financial planning still stands.

Well C2S is quite a step down from a GTR....
that 996TT is almost perfect.
but then why are we so hyped about what other dude is buying LOL.

^^C2S might not turn the performance numbers of the GTR but it is a finer car. You look like a dirtbag showing up with a GTR anywhere else but a racetrack.

The fact that a car is built for the street and not for the track is by definition compromise. We can parse definitions all day long. Fact of the matter is that this guy sounds like he wants an all-rounded sports car, and the 911 is the best.

take a look at vancouvereuros or euroforums, a few peeps have done that. some shy away from the heavy, fat tech-savy new bimmers and go old school, lightweight forced induction for about $30,000 - that's all done up with the best parts. you can save 5gs on wheels, so make it 25.

What about something like a 427 Cobra for the Summer, and a Turbo Cayanne for daily/Winter duties?
OR, an LSx FD Rx-7...

Stop whining. Wait until the weather gets better and go for a ride on your bike. No car will ever match the experience of a bike.

Cool. Thread brought back from FC.
Bring the GTR to the track, it'll end your urge to sell it.
