idk how people can afford to mod GTRs

 

That's like saying how can people afford to mod their Evo

 

Odds are if you can afford a GT-R than you afford mods.

 

I havent fully checked everything out for a GTR but isnt everything much more expensive for a GTR?

 

Yes for the most part everything relatively more expensive, but it does with the nature of the car

 

This. That's what I was trying to get at. It's like people that can't afford an evo (everyone's financial situation is different) are saying how can we afford to put even more money into our cars.

 

Evo's don't have an Evo tax. There is def a GTR tax. I know ETS makes nice stuff but going to the first link one of their ad's pops up. 5k+ for a Full Ti Exhaust, 2k for a street FMIC...........I'm not saying ETS is priced to high.....its indicative of the market.

And the first poster in that thread said 14k is a not worth the legal action.............

This is why my thoughts of GTR ownership are up there with owning a Porsche or Lambo. Thats just a different atmosphere. I stay down here with the 30-40k sports cars. I can afford to fix and maintain them.

GTR will remain my golden unicorn unless I hit the lotto or my wife becomes a millionaire. LOL

 

the reason there's a GTR "tax" is cause they don't sell as many parts... they make an evo exhaust, and they may sell 5000 of them a year cause lots of people have evo's and just about everyone that has an evo mods it. but if they make a GTR exhaust, they might sell 50 of them. so they have to build in more profit per exhaust to make up for the development cost.


*pulled the "sales numbers" out of my ***, but you get the point...

 

Holy ****, dudes a small time bernie madeoff. If I had got scammed for 15+ grand I would fly out to that guys house, and show up at his door step. I'm here to kill you, unless you have my money. . Guy ran a big time scam, he could easily end up in jail. Looks like he trying to get away with 100's of thousands of dollars. What is that guy thinking. He must have a death wish.

 

Theirs a reason why some gtr exhaust systems cost 10,000 dollars. Their made out of vibranium.

 

i see at least 2x more gtrs on the road than evos. my thought is that the higher cost is from a higher level of quality and fitment, but i've never worked on a gtr.

 

Money != Common sense

 

When you're in that tax bracket, the R35 is actually "cheap". Back in the day when I built race cars, it was "normal" practice for our loyal customers to spend 50% to 100% of the cost of the car into mods. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, rich kids, hustlers...it is what it is.

 

Sorry, but that is BS. For anyone making less than $500K/year, there are way better ways to use money than spend it on cars. Cars are just fun for some people, like all of us here, and we can't resist wasting money on them.

 

This doesn't make any sense. So someone making 20k a month, which is less than 250k shouldn't spend a grand a month on a car plus whatever mods? Why the hell not?
