How much for a GTR VSPEC 98 ??

[inasinman]

HEy GUYS!

Just wanted to know, what would be a fair price to pay for a GTR VSPEC 98 ? Does anyone know how many were made?

I saw a few GRIP videos and saw the NSX in action. They look awesome. But I don't think HONDA V6 VTEC is nothing compare to the RB26DETT.

GIVEN THAT YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY EITHER A GTR VSPEC or a NSX. WHAT WOULD YOU WANT AND WHY???

dumb arse question to ask on a skyline forum

Well infact snowman gave us a little review of both cars since he's owned both an NSX and now owns a GTR. Not word for word, but his final opinion was the GTR all the way. The NSX was more a cruiser, and less performance/driver car.

But to answer your question... depends, is the car a legit GTR?, do you want mods, and all I can say is good luck in finding good clean legit GTR, let alone the rarest of all the the Series 3 GTR's... hang I think mines for sale.

Even if not on a Skyline forum the NSX is an overpriced pile of crap. It's often referred to a rich man's Civic. The only reason it does so well in racing is because the track version is so far removed from the street version you're essentially only identifying the car by the shape.

In every market on the planet except for the US, the NSX is a very overpriced machine - the engine is at the limit to produce the power to do 5 sec 0-100 and 13 sec quarters.

The GT-R is an understressed motor that is at it's LOWEST state of tune to produce similar numbers.

The NSX is not a tuning, modding car unlike Skylines.

It is not 4wd and will not produce the all round performance of a Skyline.

It is a rare car though.

thanks guy for your effort.

It makes more sense why one should buy a SKYLINE GTR instead of NSX in OZ land. They are practical in terms of performance and parts availability. I saw maybe 2 NSX within the last 6 months and more of GTRs. I thought they look pretty COOL, but at 65k for a 92 model....................ummmmhhhh.......QUESTION MARK

Put it this way...

Say $75,000 budget.

Will get you a 1999 R34 GT-R V-Spec.

OR a 1992/3 NSX 3.0 litre, perhaps a Type-R?

I'd wouldn't be betting on the 10-11 year old car.

How many times have you seen someone bag out Skylines because they are too common? People are willing to pay for individuality and the NSX has it. Plus it's probably the best Honda has to offer in that area, and some people really like Honda.

These cars are at a different price level.

$200,000 for a local NSX - always been close to twice the price of a GT-R.

But it's not twice the car much like a Ferrari is not twice as good as a NSX.

Actually speaking to a guy at work the other day who plans to buy a NSX when the coin count allows. He loves them.

He says that all NSX engines are balanced/blueprinted and all hand built from factory. He says they also all have titanium rods and forged pistons I think.

He isnt one to make up crap so is this true?

[skylineakt]

From what I know the NSX's engine is hand built from the factory.

But don't know about the rest

Either way depends on what you are after I reckon. NSX are less common and more exotic and the GTR is just HARDCORE and more EXOTIC hehe
