These two cars aren't even related. That's like asking whether you should buy a coffee maker or a tea kettle.

Why is this even a topic? Stop pissing everyone off and start spending money.


Maybe if it was buy a Stingray Z06 or a GTR, we'd take an extra second to consider...


Before telling you to get a GTR.

Since you have the money, wait to look at the eau rouge and even see if its to your liking. The GT-R will still be there and you can then go purchase it that same day if the eau rouge doesn't suit you.

The vette can always be the 3rd vehicle, and if it isn't fast enough, there may be an option or two.

Don't bother waiting for the EAU Rouge

1) It will have a crazy price tag
2) Production not yet confirmed
3) It'll have a crappy 7AT as claimed
4) It's got too many doors

Having driven the GTR on and off the track, no Q60 will never even come close to it. It's just a beast in every performance aspect there is. Unbelievable car.

Thank you everyone for your opinions.

I'm giving it practical considerations now. I'm super picky with my G37, I think I might lose my mind with a GT-R. I'm concerned I might never take it out of the garage. Lol

I already park a football field away when I go to the movies in my G, or drive around parking lots 2 or 3 times to find the best spot. I'm having a hard time picturing a GT-R as my daily driver. Hmmm.

I think the crux is more fun vs practicality and he's not ready to admit it. Although im not sure what the wait for the Q60 is for.

Honestly, a GT-R vs a daily driver aren't even in the same topic range. I would have to say though that if im right then you shouldn't try to use a GT-R as a daily driver. It's a great car and at the top of my must have list, but it's not something to drive everyday. Especially if your not financially free enough to at least buy a beater as your DD.

Now the better topic is gtr now or stingray later, thats much more applicable.

For the money I'd buy a new 911, but that's because I totally love those cars. GTR isn't a bad choice, though. Supercar performance, but without the supercar price tag. Hey at least you're still staying in the Nissan family :-)

That's got my vote, assuming it's going to happen. Also assuming if you can afford a new GTR, then you can afford this monster.

On paper, yes. And I'm sure driving one is amazing. All I've done to date is sit in the drivers seat at the auto show, and was completely turned off by all the tacky. Seriously, it takes great photos inside and out, but in person it looks like... well, a Corvette. And with that comes all the less than complementary observations of being Chevy's halo car.

AUR11 makes a good point. The Q60 just isn't in the same league. Can't imagine how the redesigned Q60 could be, either.

And there's your answer.

Get a used GTR...use the money you saved to put one of those Alpha kits on it. Who can say no to a minimum of 700hp?
