Would You

[R33GOD]

21yrs old and a GTR. go for it mate, just drive safe

[Gazee]

If i had the chance to own a GTR when i was 16 i'd buy one.... who f**ks what anyone says... your money.... your life

[blind_elk]

And if it all goes pear-shaped - could be my life (as well, or instead). I reiterate : You can NEVER have too much driver training.

[Kozeyekan]

Getting a GTR is one thing, it's another to afford the upkeep.

Having AWD is a great bonus. For under 21 consider a GTS-4 instead of a GTR for lower upkeep and more managebale power.

But hey, whatever works.

[Mavric]

Depends on the person them selves if they can afford to buy it and are paying to buy it they will have a greater amount of respect for the car...

Could go either way

[Omurru]

I got mine when I was still on my p's.... :PBJ:

[Sputnik]

Not so sure of problem. I drived father De Tomaso Pantera when younger boy and much fun though.

[Leewah]

As long as it's not mine, I care not.

Just do it safely and don't push it too hard or the GTR WILL bite back!

[femno]

Very true if the young driver puts in every cent spent on the car he will respect it more, but in the end it all comes down to driver attitude and thats it, theres nothing really more to it.

But it aint that bad ive been pulled over once in a whole year of driving, just for random breatho n licence check - that was it.

Behave!

[Scotsman]

They're RWD, until there's slip, and then power starts feeding to the front, right?

Yep exactly, and they can bite hard because of this.

I was 21 when I bought my GTR. I didn't have an accident or kill anyone.

I would recommend that if the person had no prior track, kart, rally experience then sure buy the car, becasue it's your decision and your money, but just take it easy and treat it with respect. Learn to drive it off the road not in traffic, if you feel the need to punt it hard.

End of the day it's his decision. I say go for it. I feel I was mature enuf at 21 to drive the GTR. But I know plenty of ppl that aren't.

pear shaped? no one wants things to go pear shaped but hey things happen and its good your making a point about it, although 1 person on this forum who probably is a sensible driver isn't going to save you, me, or anyone else from the amount of f**kheads that are out on the road now.

Laws are there to try and prevent younger drivers from owning high powered vehicles, i've still seen p plater corvette drivers, p plater gtr drivers and p plater xr8 drivers, i'm sure i couldn't drive my skyline when i was a p plater but i did..

Can't a p plater in a mitsubishi magna hit 180-200kmp/h? How you gona stop someone? Their 1st f**k up might be their last...

But hey what can you do?

[Omurru]

p plater gtr drivers

was it me

[R TUNE]

well after reading all the post ive come to the conclution, that is the same as most of you. if he (the driver) is mature and responserble fine let him get a GTR.

driver traning should be consided.

well ill just keep saveing now for my GTR

[ctjet]

hes going to do what he wants

let him drive it, and when he kills himself tell him "i told you so"

[Modena]

If he gets a GTR that young, he will not respect it. Some things in life need to be earned...like a promotion

[milan_r34]

hmm it all depends how he was driving his r31??

As for me i was going to buy a r33 for my first car.... after given it much more thought i bought a r31 silhoutte...

Then came the r33

so preety much if he is a good driver and knows how to drive, i see no problems him driving that.....

hell if you are going 160km/h in a gtr or a ford focus... its the same thing, only difference is in a gtr you will get there really fast

[700HP-GTR33]

I have known a few well skilled drivers who have terrible street ethics.

Most of which have had serious accidents and loss of licenses.

So if he has never lost his license for speeding..running reds...or drink driving and still has most of his points.

YES BUY THE GTR....

If he likes to speed...hand-brake stop,fast launches and street drag....and thinks he is never going to get hurt.

NO...you are going to kill some-one you dumb f**k.......and I really don't care for his life but the ones he will hurt.

So I think I made myself quite clear.
