Going from the RS6 - GTR would i regret it?

[W8PMC]

That's because the TTRS is the fastest car in the world
Fact

Now that is fact

[VARSITY]

Just do it as virtually impossible to regret owning one:)

Nothing stock this side of £100k+ (with a roof & doors) could get close in terms of performance to the GT-R. As already said, if you buy used then opt for the Indy route for servicing & maintenance & you should be fine with the running costs, however factor in it's not a light car & thus to do what it does so well it does use tyres & pads at a rapid rate, however no worse than an RS6 but the parts do cost more. Budget for £1500 a year in tyres & £500 for pads along with £500-£700 for servicing & you're about on the money. Insurance is reasonable & the car can do mid-high 20's mpg on a sensible run, but press the loud peddle & you're into low single figures.

As for a mapped RS6 being quicker than a 997TT, you can laugh that away I'm afraid in the real world it would never happen. Perhaps on a runway between 150-200mph but approach a corner & watch the Porker vanish.

To the original point though, go get one & check out

Maybe on a C6, but not so on a C7.

To be fair they are 2 very differant cars, Power wise you wont be dissapointed with the gtr, the launch is brutal off the line and the surge of power is ridiculus plus if you get bored your never gonna be short of upgrades! search alpha 12 kit on youtube that gtr is epicly quick and not overly expensive considering

But practicality wise and all round bang for buck theres not much that comes close to the big 6 unless you get a roof rack you wont be able to do 0-60 in under 5 with a dishwasher in tow!!!

100k for a car that out accelerates a car worth 1.2 million seems pretty cheap to me

only up to a point.
The veryron wasn't designed to be quick off the line but rather to sit at 200mph without flinching and then the occasional short dash up to 250.

A cheap bike will out accelerate the the 100k car and the 1.2 million one

Sad, ain't it? You'd need a Hennessey Venom to beat a stock 'Busa to 200MPH.

How come this came back from the dead?

Maybe what on a C6 but not so on a C7, cost of parts?

I've already asked for figures on a GT3, there is a lovely RS at 59k too, orange wheels though! I love the GT3 RS, hence my sig.

bet you wished you had bought that for £59k now, prob worth double that at least now. unless you did of course ha

Tenuous thread revival but very interesting. How much are they going for now?

So a 100 grand return on 60k invest in less than 3years... nah I'll stick with a cash ISA.

[toyneg]

yeah looks like £160k+ for one of these now - one of my mates turned one down for £60k 3yrs ago too
