I thought the GTR is out to beat this car? Looks like its gonna fail.

 

[Mook]

its actually out to beat the 911 turbo which it has and its comparable if not better than the 911 gt3 and if we're going to have this debate its quicker 0-60 than the gt2 and .2 slower in the 1/4 mile (woopdy doo)...i cant comment on all the other stats b/c i dont have it readily in front of me....but i'm not here to debate the GTR

moving right along...its actually surprising to see how well the new viper is holding up

gtr=amazing garbage nissan

 

[Mr Baytchos]

I'm interested in the base prices of these cars as well. Prolly a pretty big gap. Gonna guess the ferrari or lambo are the most with the zo6 being the least expensive.

 

[Bru]

GT2 = $191,000

 

[Mook]

the gt2 is a VERY expensive car....dunno if its f430 territory tho

 

[Mr Baytchos]

GT2 = $191,000

Really? wow...why is it so much more....those number are that much better than a turbo or a gt3 are they?

 

[Bru]

F430 is a little over $200,000.

[Mr Baytchos]

yeah i dont think the .1 sec faster to 60 and the 11 mph faster top end makes up for the $65,500 price jump over the turbo.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

and actually if you get the tiptronic in the turbo it has the same 0-60

 

[Mook]

you're my boy tony

 

[IDAFC21]

do want.

a base f430 is over 200k, once you start adding options then take into consideration dealer markup you are well over that point. f430 spyders last summer were going for over 300k
