this is why people buy gtr's. it's the best bang for the buck you can get. handles like a ferrari, acceleration like a rocket, and cheapest to own and operate out of any car in it's performance class. you can't get that with any other car under $200k. |
Thank you for being the only person with a head on his body in this thread (and an owner with first hand experience no less). E90soflo proved my point with the blabber in his last comment.
