> I love GTR’s, but there is no way with a good mind I could justify buying one at the moment. I refuse to have a payment of that size. I know you put alot down and your situation makes sense. Since I payed my cobra off, I happen to like the luxury of not paying for a car. At this point in my life, responsibilities are paramount. And I need to focus on other things.

Sure can man. It will seem slow to your Cobra. I understand the priority thing. I just bought a new house… hopefully my “forever” house in Latham.

Also, these cars are not cheap to mod. All the 1000whp cars you see on Youtube… that’s like an easy $80K. Major “GTR Tax” on parts. Cat backs are $2-3K… intakes $500 … midpipe $1000,

Just a basic P700 (550awhp) kit from Switzer is like $14000.
