Help Me Decide: GT-R vs. Z06


Dr. Pomade

Recommended Posts

Just to be different and suggest some stuff outside the norm... ever consider an M3 or M6? What about the Audi RS5 that is supposedly coming to the states?

 

I bought an m6 instead of a Z and kinda wish I bought the other sometimes. I just wanted an auto car and thats the only reason I personally went with the m6 over the Z

I decided to put in my input but most can guess, zo6 without a doubt. Ya the gtr is nice do not get me wrong but to me it just does not get the attention that a zo6 will get from your average people. For example when I was at work the other day and in the company truck with some co-workers a gtr was pulling up and my foreman said what is this hotwheels pos and I had to laugh and explain what it was to him but everytime we see a zo6 on the road he is like dammmnnnn that car is BAD. The only skyline I would buy would be an r33 or r34 nismo tuned car, cause those cars are raw and right hand drive would be so cool. The new ones just do not do it for me I hate to say.

You're right on. The r33/r34's were unreal. Another option would be to buy a fast street car for 10-15k and save the rest or take the extra money and invest into what got you successful.

A used white C6 Z06 is going to be - what - around $70K anyway? Since I'm fairly sure they only just released white in the C6 Z06.

 

 

You could get a 2007 Ron Fellows edition Z06 in White but they only made 300 so it will be a little tougher to find one.

After that 2010 was the first year for White but they did make some changes to the cars so it may be worth getting a newer one.

 

Then again you are talking $70k's, for a little more you could have a ZR1... :cool:

Yeah, not really a fan of those stripes or the color scheme of the interior.

You seem like a classy, sophisticated dude. You don't want to look like a noob do you?

It's also great for running errands like dropping off your kids, according to their new ad campaign. Who needs a fucking mini-van these days when you could have a perfectly capable kid-hauler such as a 911 Turbo.

There is a BIG price difference between a 997 Turbo and a C6 Z06. Like, the oldest 997 Turbo (2007) with some miles MIGHT be found for the price of a brand new Z06. Of course that 997 makes less power, weighs 300lbs more, costs more to mod/repair/insure, is slower around a road course, etc.

Don't use your doctor words on me! Get a fucking ZR1 and do smokey burnouts everywhere you go. We all know that's what's gonna happen.

 

 

Just like the white one in the commercials. Boners were had.

Just in case anyone hasn't mentioned it yet, because I haven't read the whole thread, TT 03/04 Cobra!

 

But in between the C6 Z06 and GTR that's a hard decision. I'm a huge fan of turbo AWD cars, and you've already had a Z06 so I'd give a slight nod to the GTR. But all else being equal, just looking at performance, perceived reliability, looks, etc, I'd go with the C6 Z06.

 

And whatever you get, the first mod should be Altezzas! :bangbang:
