hodge Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hope I beat you to it mate! I'm so getting the GT-R itch You will for sure Johnny. I'm going to have to save my pocket money for quite a long time to get 1. You on the other hand could find the spare change behind the cushions on the sofa.

There is a new 2012 model with 560 Hp to be release febuary 2012" I'm not really bothered about manufacturer power upgrades to be honest, I've got a Ryan a few hours down the road Lol. Looking at it like this really, I can pick a GT-R up now for 35K but a new 2012 model is coming in at I think 72K. If I was to spend the extra 37K on the car instead of buying a new 1 it's going to be a much better car. Well that's my opinion anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Out of interest Hodge, would you (have to) sell your Supra to fund the GT-R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Out of interest Hodge, would you (have to) sell your Supra to fund the GT-R? Unfortunately yes. Which is why I said in a couple of years I'll get 1. I'll need to do some saving and I'm still pretty much in love with the car. I'd have to be offered enough to buy a GT-R outright to part with it anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of years...better start saving for the day you post this in the classifieds! But by then no one will want go go beyond BPU with petrol reaching up to £3 a litre probably!!!

fuldhat Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 But when you then buy a used one for 37K and the gearbox/engine blows, then you are going to wish for that waranty. Remember it is much much more than power upgrades between the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it My little fingers are all sore from sanding parts down yesterday - these are possibly some way off due to some problems I'm having with a new batch of resin and hardener!
