I hear and see a lot of evo owners selling there evo to get a gtr. If the gtr was a lot cheaper would a lot more people sell there Evos to get one?

slow gst

Have fun paying to maintain a R35 GTR.

I think it's also interesting the "part premium" that's still in full effect on GTR mod parts has shown no signs of going anywhere. You think modding an Evo is expensive? Look at costs for the GTR aftermarket...

Let's not kid ourselves. The evo is not in the same league is a GTR. The gtr is KING.

Irritating listening to guys like you trying to kill a legit post. What r u doing here anyway? Its all about conversation. Post count, was yours even necessary. Think about it.

Gtr is expensive, but I think the evo is probably a good starting point for what the gtr is. I would be all over it if it was 35000 40000 cheaper. Take care...

Like what was stated earlier, have you looked into what the price of upgrades cost? Hell, have you looked at even the cost of regular maintenance on those things?

I agree. Totally different types of cars. Its funny to see that you will always have these types of threads in every car forum. I remember back in the days on the mr2 forums, this same type of thread would pop up asking if they would trade in their mr2 turbo for a Porsche Cayman, when it first came out.
.........totally different cars.

I stand by this. The evo is the king of 4 bangers. I'm talking about as an ALL AROUND car. That's my opinion. The GTR IS just the king period, but there's a huge price point. Your talking about a(now) $115,000 car brand new. And EXHAUST SYSTEM alone from ETS(who is considered a bargain company) is $5,500 and an intercooler system from ETS is $4,000. Think about that for a bit. Imagine what the prices are from AMS or Buschur. The evo is a bargain vehicle no matter how you look at it, and let's not forget who absolutely annihilates in world class time attack...that's right

I agree on these cars being two different animals. The Evo is my favorite 4 cylinder turbocharged car by far. The GT-R is a monster and does require a pretty hefty budget when modding but we are also talking about a car that makes 2x the HP as the Evo on most builds.

I'm sure if the GT-R price dropped down into the 40's you would see a TON of evo owners switching platforms. The GT-R with bolt on's and stock turbochargers can make 600hp easily.

I couldn't part with my evo so i kept it and got a GTR
insurance isn't bad in fact its cheaper than my first evo (back in 03)
maintenance is over rated normal oil changes (no brad penn like i run in the evo)
18k tranny oil change not bad for the diy person.
Now the GTR TAX is crazy but if you are a shopper you will be fine.
the nice thing about the GTR is you don't have to go crazy to make it a beast.
lookup SBD700 ( low 10's for under 6k)

I have over 12k in my evo (10.38)

if your not looking for a brand new GTR you can find used ones for around 50k and up.

i remember when the evo8 got to the states people compared the dsm's the same way
