Nissan GTR .... Again
I was in the new Glasgow GTR dealership today, was pleasantly suprised at them having 3 on show. 2 new MY11's & an MY10 thats done i think 13k at 46k. I've booked a drive on there MY11 once its broken in, they reckon it needs 1200 miles (just like STi) before you can get the benefit of it.
Guy reckons it'll be ready in 3 weeks for a drive, i could head over to Edinburgh but i think i'll wait & do some research first.

The bloke in the Porker won't need to tell everyone what it is. The Bloke with the GTR will bore the pants off everybody by constantly telling them:-
A) How much quicker than a 911 Turbo it is round the Ring.
B) That it can corner 0.0001g more than a 911 turbo
c) It will show you how much G you pulled via the dash screen.
D) It's cheaper than a 911 Turbo
E) A simple remap can see it produce 1343BHP
etc etc
By this time, she'll have walked off telling her friends that she's just met the world biggest Geek.

Haha reminds of when I was in a Management Course at work a couple of weeks back. Was sat in a group including a manager from Sales and first day I walked in he had in front of him:
A) The largest coffee you can buy
B) Two smartphones side by side
C) Car keys with the porsche badge facing up
I just said - so thats not your V10 R8 in the car park then

all just a little bit of friendly banter in all honesty, I really like some porsches, but the sales person was a complete A$$ saying "you cant start the car, I must start it...." gave up after that....
Exactly what I had pictured

If anyone cares what anyone else thinks about them due to the car they drive, then they're both as shallow as each other.
Who really gives a ****?
I don't, and i know porsche and datsun owners who feel the same.

Very interesting responses to my comment - I think I must be the only one who hasn't mentioned the 'German' car 
It's amazing what prejudice you can trigger in people.
I think alloy's first post is the one to pay attention to. Get yourself the money sorted and then you are good to go!

Would have a 997 turbo of over the GTR any day ....oooops I already have
maintenance cost on the GTR are just silly. £500 every 15000 miles in the turbo
If I had to choose it'd be like this 997 turbo/GT3 impreza evo then GTR
all great cars in their own right but no car puts a smile on my face like the impreza.
