Actually no. I have had every chance to sell the R8 at good profit and then buy a new, all black GT-R with money left over. But to tell the truth, I would rather either do the MTM HP increase in the R8, or get my Turbo Porsche CS back from TPC RACING, and then happily take on GT-R. Maybe I'll win; maybe not. But once these cars are about the same in power to weight, I'll be very happy to take my chances. No dis intended. The GT-R is a great, new landmark car, that wants to redefine power to weight ratios, and almost everything else! And the extra space for longer road trips, almost swayed me! But these smaller, mid-engine wonder cars, are just too much fun to drive! My best wishes to you and your great GT-R.

R8 with MTM Supercharger- 3400 LBS/ 556 HP = 6.11
TPC turbo Porsche CS- 3000 LBS/485 HP= 6.18
Nissan GT-R twin turbo- 3814 LBS/480 HP = 7.94

It's really quite amazing to think that there can be three such wonderful, hi quality, day drive/track cars available for under $150,000. And two of them for less than $100,000!
