If you're justifying the purchase of a GT-R by telling yourself it drives in the snow.....

gtr owner here...if it doesn't run right already, stay far, far away. speaking from experience. car is very expensive to maintain and can easily drain your pocketbook.

i can assure you that isn't the case whatsoever. my gtr has never vibrated from the tranny. there is a normal 'rattle' noise when car shifts at low speeds, but no such vibration. my tranny has been fine, but the rest of the car has fallen apart.

If you could go back would you go with a ZR1 or get the GTR again?

Wait for the 2013 GTR. It's getting another power bump. Think it's gonna be at 570HP now. Price is probably going to be $100k+ though.

or you can buy a low miles 2009 gtr and get a $500 tune and have the same power for much less. all these 2012/2013 updates are relatively minor. the power is coming from engine tuning.

This is an example of trying to buy a car you can't afford, so you try to get a crap lemoned one.

Run and get a nice new M3.

This. Save your pennies. You can't afford the maintenance.

i agree with everyone about the maintenance from firsthand experience. 'if you have to ask, you can't afford it' definitely applies to the gtr.
