For those of you that like TBSS's

I could go down the street and pick up a Trailblazer SS…Can’t say the same about an R34 where there are what, ~24 in total in the United States? I’d take a $68,000 R34 Skyline over some overpriced Chevrolet Blazer.

Also considering his R34 is actually under priced for what they tend to go for…

1st off good luck being able to find one on the drop of a dime… once lots get the TBSS they are sold within 2-3 days…

2nd this thread was to share something very cool that was accomplished by a TBSS and was for people who acctually respect it… hence the title of the thread…

@edubs

…there are less 8-9 second TBSS’ in the world than there are R34’s in the U.S.

There are only 3 TBSS’s (all RWD) in the world running in the 8-9 sec range…

@K20power

Then what was your point? You could’ve just said his R34 is a used car as well…which I really wouldn’t say it was a used car, more of a collector’s item. Mentioning his asking price made it sound like you were calling him out on his R34 being an “over priced used car”.

Also, yes, there may be less 8-9 second TBSS’ in the world than R34’s in the U.S…That’s because there’s only a select few owners willing to put forth the effort. The rest of the owners are grandpa’s and soccer moms who wanted the top of the line…

Collectors item is in the eye of the beholder yes the R34 is def sweet and is a collectors but to many people the TBSS is also a collectors as was the typhoon and so on and so on… Some of the TBSS’s are very respectable and the fact they are no longer being made and were only made for 3.5 model years they are also considered a collectors to a select crowd…

There are acctually thousands of people who own the TBSS who put thousands and thousands of dollars into them… try doing your HW… Their are grandparents and soccer moms who own them and have no idea what they are but there are more that own them and do significant mods to them…

@edubs

Like you said yourself, rarity, market and appeal also play a strong part in a vehicle’s selling price.

couldn’t say it better…

Now can this thread please get back on track?
