well.

i can safely say i couldnt afford a £60-£80K car at this present time... Youve gota be on a serious wage to spend that much on a car no? Im sure someone one here could though :)

Like dylan said, for the price, i can safely say that would be one of the last cars i would buy however much i think that car is superb "looking" as i cant say i know too much about the speed/handling etc.....

Im sure there are some that could buy it without selling their house, still far more fun out there to be had for the money although it does look nice.

A car like this is not just about having fun though is it.

Its the heritage that comes with it, it could be a collectors item etc.

I don't think people with the money buy these cars for drifting and donuts to be fair ;)

Cornish,

I love that video.

The first time I watched it I felt so happy for him! You can hear and see the emotion he feels for the car, just great!

Some cars value far exceeds the quality of the actual car. A couple that spring to mind are some of your favourites. An AE86 was outdated at launch being rear wheel drive (I know people think its cool) they rust like buggery and are pretty basic yet because of the "cult" thing they are worth loads. Think VW campers. Crap vehicles but because they are cool they are worth a fortune. Get a same age bedford van and its worth peanuts. Mk1 escorts are another one. They sold millions, they are still pretty common but stick in a 2 litre and everyone wants thousands, there were better cars at the time but no one wants them now.

please dont shout at me, but if it had to be an ultimate import, id want a 787b sat in my dining room, though the probability of one over a hakosukawagon is even more infinitessimally small lol!

hehe, the sound is absolutely immense!

not sure exactly what engine they were, it was an N/A 3.0 or 2.5 straight six i think!

The GTR is a 2litre DOHC straight 6, 4 valve producing 160hp and a top speed of 200k's.

I saw quite a few of these at a recent event I went to, here are some snaps.
