look at ferraris for instance....they sell for say 180,000 USD....well in England they are 180,000 pounds. In the Euro car market they fluctuate the price to coincide with a reasonable price to sell the car....

so there doing the he said 49,999 pounds, about $100,000. In actuality it's about $80,000 doest apply....if it is 49,000 pounds...if it were to be sold in America it is $49,000.

BMW M3 Coupe for example as well... 50,000 pounds....

in USA 57,000 pounds (extra money is probably shipping, tax, etc)

http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte...e/default.aspx

but damn close to the same...

well im just going off of what they would be in canada... a gsr here is about $41000, and there they are about 29000pounds. so if the FQ is 49000 pounds...that would be approx 95000$ CAD.....soooo a lot... basically all im saying... as the gtr cost $98000 CAD........ but i see your point as the number are closer to crossing over for you guys

I would take the Evo for the Price and the price difference. If money was no abject then I would have both and the Evo X and GTR

its hard for them to do it cause of extra shipping costs and other factors that come from buying a USDM car....its like trying to import a JDM car...same deal.

what the eff are you trying to say?? If a car cost 29,000 pounds, that does NOT equal $29,000. There is currency exchange rate which changes daily. That means you are saying that if i wanted a ferrari for 180,000 pounds, i should come to america and buy it for 180,000 US dollars which is wayyyyy less money?

here you go the current rate

50,000.00 EUR
=
73,154.46 USD *CHART
Euro United States Dollars
1 EUR = 1.46309 USD 1 USD = 0.683485 EUR

Definitely...throw on a GT35R and a racing suspension on an Evo and call it a day.

The guys that can afford a GT-R can also afford to throw money at them. I'm sure you've all seen the sick you-tube videos with 1k hp GT-Rs on the dyno.
