~Pirana's new daily Driver!!!~

Dude I just don't know why you wouldn't keep it as is for a daily? Sure you can't get THAT much for al lthe parts? lol

I'd have kept it as is ,and the got a GTR.
 
thats all (lol)

well vic, i was initially just shocked, but i understand...hey, at least you didn't sell it and are using the car!!:) (your p5 was my inspiration for a lot of things i did to my car)
 
^Hehehe, I would have to make sure the warranty still was in effect...I can imagine how much a drive-shaft, CVaxle, gears, would be in this car!!

Its always for sale, at the right price. ;)
 
Wow Vic, thats crazy!!!

Good luck on the new project, I can't wait to see it, whatever it is!

I think you need to go Euro!
 
I was reading last night in Road & Track about the new GTR. They are going to have 2 or 3 different models. Any idea which one you are trying to get?

Specifications http://www.gtrnissan.com/?Site=nissanusa&Area=GT-R_Home

Engine
• VR-series twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6.
• 480 hp @ 6,400 rpm. 430 lb-ft torque @ 3,200–5,200 rpm.
• Dual overhead camshafts with variable intake-valve timing.
• Cast aluminum cylinder block with high-endurance/low-friction plasma-sprayed bores.
• IHI twin turbochargers, one per cylinder bank.
• Pressurized lubrication system with thermostatically controlled cooling.
Drivetrain
• ATTESA ET-S All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with independent rear-mounted transaxle integrating transmission, differential and AWD transfer case.
• Rigid, lightweight carbon-composite driveshaft between engine and transaxle.
• Electronic traction control plus 1.5-way mechanically locking rear differential.
• Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC-R) with three driver-selectable settings: Normal (for daily driving, controls brakes and engine output), R-Mode (for ultimate performance, utilizes AWD torque distribution for additional vehicle stability) and Off (driver does not want the help of the system).
• Hill Start Assist prevents rollback when starting on an incline.
DisclaimerVDC-R cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.

Transmission
• 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission with three driver-selectable modes: Normal (for maximum smoothness and efficiency), Snow (for gentler starting and shifting on slippery surfaces), and R mode (for maximum performance with fastest shifts).
• Fully automatic shifting or full sequential manual control via gearshift or steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
• Dual clutch design changes gears in less than 0.5 second (0.2 second in R mode).
• Downshift Rev Matching.
• Predictive pre-shift control (in R mode) based on throttle position, vehicle speed, braking and other information.
Wheels and Tires
• 20 x 9.5" (front) and 20 x 10.5" (rear) super-lightweight forged-aluminum wheels.
• Exclusively developed nitrogen-filled Bridgestone RE070A high-capacity run-flat summer tires, 255/40ZRF20 97Y front and 285/35ZRF20 100Y rear.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Brakes
• Brembo 4-wheel disc brakes with 4-wheel Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Preview Braking.
• Two-piece floating-rotor 15-inch front and rear discs with diamond-pattern internal ventilation.
• 6-piston front/4-piston rear monoblock calipers.
Steering
• Rack-and-pinion steering with vehicle-speed-sensitive power assist.
• 2.6 steering-wheel turns lock-to-lock.
Suspension
• 4-wheel independent suspension with Bilstein DampTronic system with three driver-selectable modes: Normal/Sport (for automatic electronic control of damping), Comfort (for maximum ride comfort), and R mode (engages maximum damping rate for high-performance cornering).
• Electronically controlled variable-rate shock absorbers. High-accuracy progressive-rate coil springs.
• Front double-wishbone/rear multi-link configuration with aluminum members and rigid aluminum subframes.
• Hollow front and rear stabilizer bars.
Body/Chassis
• Exclusive Premium Midship platform with jig-welded hybrid unibody.
• Aluminum hood, trunk and door skins. Die-cast aluminum door structures.
• Carbon-reinforced front crossmember/radiator support.
 
Thanks Daed...but euros are too expensive for what you get :)

Regarding the GTR, probably the cheapest!!
 
Pshhh... What about a 996TT - You can pick them up for around 50-60k now days, chip+exhaust and you're hitting 550awd hp with daily driver reliability and it will run for 200k without a rebuild!

DO IT! (I'm gonna! lol).
 
Hehehe, although I would definetely drive a Porsche, Iam really not a fan of Euro cars...dont ask me why...maybe that I hated working on them! But it could be a choice. I will definetely look at everything within the price range of the GTR before commiting.
