Final edition, is it worth the money?

Other than its resale value is it worth the premium for cosmetic enhancements? Why not import a FQ trim from the UK instead?

probably not, and considering that CZ4A chassis had a 7 year production run i don't think they will ever reach parody with the CT9A as far as value retention/appreciation.

How can you ask the question when you don't even know how much extra it will cost yet?

IMO, it better be cheaper than an MR and only a little more than the Base GSR cost.

I'm sure it will be the opposite. Stealerships are smoking rocks these days

This iteration would truly have been a fitting FINAL edition. Limited to a production run of X to coincide with the car's name in the evolution series; match the sticker price to that of the GTR R35 and we have a dream EVO. The exclusivity would maintain if not appreciate it's resale value.

Starting with a base stock gsr, what are we looking at in terms of cost to build this beauty; identical both in terms of exterior and internals? In addition, how could you make this street legal?
