Yum! Someday!

Its just too much money at the moment though - You do very well indeed to get one into the country for 120K. Think I'll stick to my Zed for another couple of years and save my pennies for when they start to hit reasonable money.


In the meantime Elaine a Zed is a reasonable stepping stone to getting in the R35 GTR. :wink:

The R8 is some menacing looking machine - especially with those front lines of super-bright LEDs under the headlamps.

I don't know about the 120K, granted there's a waiting list, but the UK price is 56K, transfer that into euro and add even the 36% VRT and you're looking at under 100K, not sure on how much they are selling for in Japan, either way even if I could afford it, I'd hang off for at least 2-3 years, and see if there are any major bugs to worry about because we will never have the "nissan performance centres" here in ireland that can safely service them! i reckon the R34's are coming down to reasonable money, but I just don't see myself changing before the July deadline...

I have a lotto slip from friday in my wallet - I firmly believe that It's the winner - so I'm totally buying that car..

Stunning.. I don't even care that it's automatic..

Its not really an automatic - its one of those twin clutch jobs similar (but much better) to the DSG gearbox in the VAG cars.

I don't believe there actually will be a manual option.

NEATO - I was thinking it seemed a bit strage to stick a normal auto in there. This car promises to be a monster - I've yet to see a test of it though..

I'm off to claim my lotto winnings - I had 1 number..that means I win 1st price right ;-)

Evo magazine tested it against the R8 (on the road), 911 turbo (on track) and dodge viper (1/4 mile) - it won all 3 challanges - overall it's some car.

Not sure I'd buy one though - it's cool looking in an aggresive space age way but it's not very pretty - I'd rather something like an Aston or 911 or R8......

I'm pretty sure it's the same one as is for sale. it has the same little sticker on the back bumper.

Something tells me that they'll be spotted (more often than not) on filling station forecourts!
