grahamc Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I dunno, sick of spending money on it now, new woman has nothing to do with anything, i dont know what im doing on that side of things either, wife left for few days and came back friday night asking to work things out, all a bit of a mess tbh. I know feeling of being of sick of spending money, feels like an endless pit! The sad part is that I have only spent a fraction of what you have spent! Whathave I gotten myself into... WOW! Cant live without you... Jokes aside, its a tough decision, GOOD LUCK!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hang on to it mate.

AJI Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Jamie, I was in a similar situation to you earlier this year... I was thinking of selling the Supra and going for something a bit more focussed on track. I have test drove a few Nobles. The GTO 3R is a cracking car but the M400 is just awesome. Only thing that put me off it was the lack of storage space with me going to the N'Ring each year.... you'd really need some sort of support car if you were travelling really long distance. And they only have a small tank ! But thats the price you pay for a focussed track car. But they are well suited for 'A' roads and really show their money's worth on track so I'm lead to believe. I do also suggest you trying out the Porsche GT3. They are also a very nice drive. Maybe don't have the straight line punch of a tuned Supra but they are in a 1st class league when it comes to braking, cornering and power delivery. I have tried to keep up with a few well driven ones on the N'Ring and I noticed how light the front end was.... the turn in on them is fantastic and they have the grip to go round corners faster than my Supra... and I wasn't exactly hanging around either. Also don't be too put off tight spaced interiors, it is surprising how quickly you'll get used to it. If you're going to change car then it might aswell be a proper change.... ie. not going for another Jap GT as it will feel all too familiar and you'll wish you kept hold of your Supra. A Porsche GT3 or a Noble M400 are well priced cars for their performance and you do good considering those. p.s. I decided to keep my Supra for another year or two But I did change my 2nd car from a GT-four to an EVO6 - so thats my budget used up for a good few months/years ! well there's my 2p worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I could be wrong but the difference between the M400 and GTO-3R is different turbos ? Anything else ? Sure there is more to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 yea but a lot of money:( and you'll get a shedload of it back when you sell it. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of price difference now between the mk1 GT3s, GT2's and X50 TT. What about importing a C6 Z06?

RedM Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Porsche GT3. I've been hanging about with them all day. I'm proper in love with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Furry Muff. I'd have thought a Z06 was right up your street. This is pricey and still has a way to fall: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/172276.htm Perhaps pick the Pork forums brains regarding the X50 vs GT3 vs GT2 in regards to running costs, depreciation, living & tracking and tuning? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&f=48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 That 997 is very nice (but a tad more than i want to spend really) im gonna go out in a couple more porsches, its between that and the noble at the min:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
