IIRC, the GT-R has 20" wheels as stock.

22k per piece talaga. Those aren't just normal road tires, he's probably buying w to y rated tires road legal slick tires..

I've seen an obsidian black and a gunmetal gray colored version being driven around the pasig and taguig area - both looked really nice.

Looking at prices posted online, ang sabi is that it comes in the range of 5M to 7.5M PHP for used to brand new ones, respectively. Pero, regardless, it's my top pick when it comes to supercars. As for comparison of costs, if you're referring to the new Hyundai sport coupe (Genesis, if I'm not mistaken - used by Rhys Millen in drifting), parang 1 1/2 to 2 full models yata mabibili mo sa presyo ng GTR.

No offense though, why compare it to the new Hyundai? Was there a new concept recently released by Hyundai which will match up to the GTR's AWD and 500-600 HP engine?

Give and take you can see one or two every two to three weeks. Even more when you drive along BHS and the expressways during the wee hours. Especially the infamous Petron SLEX where supercars usually hang out during Sundays.

Seriously, the GT-R is very cheap for the performance it gives. Very capable in the track and in Everyday driving. But it's main rival, the 911 Turbo will always be a different performer. It may not be 'faster' than the GT-R on the track, but the driver involvement, how it feels to be driven, how fun it is to drive is really really something you will find only in a Porsche.

I agree, i see more GT-Rs than Evo's. Better yet, i see MORE STi's than Evo's. The Evo is just way too overpriced at 3~3.2M. While the STi just retails at ~around 2.3-2.4M. And the STi is much faster too.

I actually like the EVO 8/9 better than the current X. Dami kasing kamukha nung EVO X, ang dali naman gayahin. Unlike the 8 and 9, it'd take you forever to copy one. And a lot of fiberglass too...

Kung 2M pesos lang yan, magiging parang Vios yan. 6-7M is already cheap for a supercar. Kinda stupid that my friend purchased a brand new BMW Z4 just few days back rather than purchasing a 2012 GTR. Woulda been exciting to drive one around.

Tho di ako pwede mag-salita ng tapos against the Z4. Siguro pag na-drive ko na. for now, I'd let him enjoy his new toy first tapos ako naman.

If you put Chinese tires on a GTR. That's like saying I'm ready to die anytime

I don't think there are already R35 Port Irene units. Maybe R32s-R34s yes, but R35... doubt it. Possible, but very few.

IMHO, for a P7M car, I'd probably get the M3 coupe na lang.

Practicality is out of the window na rin naman.

**jut703** · October 13th, 2012 05:52 PM

Para practical, C63 AMG nalang. Seats 5 real people in comfort. I know of someone who uses it on a daily basis to go to school. Then there's also this other guy who uses an IS-F as a daily school shuttle.

Both are roughly under 7M.

Yes, and it's a hell of a beast too. Ipa-reflash mo lang then you get a car which you can take on formal meetings and at the same time on a track day as well.

But then, if I had 7M on hand, I'd probably spend it on a BMW 1M then the rest on mods... or a Mirage perhaps. :D According to a BMWCCP member, it's freakishly to drive!

This is how mighty Godzilla is...

Like a Boss...

btw, it did its own version here in the Philippines by ramming into a 6 pile taxi cab (Vios), total wrecking 2 units on the spot.

Buy a supercar that costs more than a decent house and complain about 22k tires, that means you didn't do your homework before buying.

There are those of us who spend less on the car upfront and more than that on our tires...
