Carlos, what if you already have a C63????? Lol. Honestly I am sooo tempted by one of those GT-R. It' dirt cheap for what it delivers, a bit like all our little 1 terror. But 3 things are holding me back from going down to the dealer and plonking down a $5k deposit.
1. Given the speed this thing can achieve and the ease in doing so, I fear I may do something silly!
2. The service cost is meant to be very very high. Each time you track the car, you have to take it back to Nissan for a $1000 service (at least in Japan) as it uses some pretty high tech materials. At 100,000km, you have to strip the engine down. This doesn't really agree with me given that every Porsche I have owned, I only change the oil if I do a very hard track day, and have never had to do anything beyond a regular once a year $500-700 service.
3. I need to sit in an actual car to see if my back is ok sitting in this car. No point buying yet another car that I cannot sit it...

Oh and there is a forth reason...convincing the minister of finance...lol
