out of curiosity, why not a twin-turbo F-body that is just as fast (or faster) but MUCH cheaper?

nah. i prefer regular cars that i can work on.

 

Canadians are importing a lot of these R34s since they became federally legal in Canada in 2014. My local dealer, RightDrive, is almost selling one of these every week. Here are two of these listing for sale, here I post it so you can have a fantasy:



2000 Nissan Skyline GTR R34 – Midnight Purple (listed for $62k CAD)



2001 Nissan Skyline GTR R34 – Z Tune Style (listed for $95k CAD)

Although I doubt it you would want to "load it with goodies" when you actually get your hands on an R34. They are so rare and so expensive these days that most owners just drive them stock(-ish) so the car lasts.

 

Crazy pricing.

 

I get that the car is legend, but it's just not worth that much money to me.

 

Nope. And that's saying a lot because I would give a nut for one. Literally.

 

There's several modern cars I would rather have for the money.

 

My next toy will be a 997.2 GT3 Cup. If things stay the course this should be a reality for the 2018 racing season after I sell my Miata and S1000rr.

 

if the midnight purple (a rare color, from what I understand) is $43k U.S., I'd consider getting one in another color. I have NO problem spending $40k on one if I could get it in white. overpriced? yes. but so is ever other car I want. have you checked the price of a '69 Charger lately?

 

Heh... 69

 

I would buy a Koenigsegg One:1 park it next to my EVO MR

 

98 1000hp supra or R34. both dream cars

 

Im pretty sure this car says perfect all over it. Fing gorgeous

 

Evo was when I was growing up. Now probably anything that goes zoom, don't mind if its electric. Rode in a tesla... unreal.
