gtr vs. corvette.....build prices?
 

looking to move into another car.....anyone built both?

also interested in opinions from people have driven both....

Very different car than a corvette. AWD six cylinder turbo vs V8. If you want a new car, GT-R are pricey about a $115 k to 180 k. I would drive one to see if it scratches your itch.

I know they are vastly differant,looking to find one for sale locally to test drive. definately have to buy used $60ish....just like the no spinning part of it....and they are much less common than a corvette. went to a half mile event yesterday and there were 5 corvettes to every other car there.

yeah,looking for something a little raw! exspensive to mod comparably?

I recently went from a 17 ZO7 to a 15 GTR. I simply wanted a platform change after owning several Z's. I haven't built mine yet. All I can say is I agree with they are very different cars. If I were mainly just tracking, I would have stuck with the ZO7 (M7).

The GTR has a lot of haters (esp in this forum).....reason- they're effin fast right out of the box. AWD/DCT, 2 turbos doing the pushing---simply a deadly combination that little can rival in the streets. Put her in launch, and let her rip. The GTR isn't very driver dependent and does feel a bit top heavy compared to my vette/viper/porsche....weight can be felt while braking and in the turns (again compared to what Im used to), but that's where the cons end. Im thoroughly enjoying the car and cant believe how much attn./compliments the car gets.

Next year, will do complete bolt ons (about $10K) and then the following will prob do turbos. Good luck in your search and don't go older than 2011 (better trans).

cool thanks for the info! I don't get the "Hater" thing.....Im a car guy....and if theres one that can get it done better....props to them!!! corvettes are great....but very very common now....so looking for some differant/unique options. They definately are not my favorite looking car (stock)....but you can make them look amazing

car guy 1st here as well.....not my fav looking car either, however, I've since put Advan GT wheels on, tints and a cf rear spoiler. Huge change in appearance right there. Im going to lower it some and add a little more cf.,

post a couple pics? not the best looking... But you can't deny the performance

Boba (Steve) is a great source of info about cars, without having to filter through any of the fan boi mentality you see with so many others here. He's a straight shooter and he knows what he's talking about- much respect here! :thumbs:
