I like the looks, although it is definitely an "in-your-face" styling.
In terms of a supercar, let's not forget that it costs a fraction of what a 911 Turbo, GT3 or Ferrari does. I could probably get one for a little over 70k.

As 928 enthusiasts, nobody is more attuned to controversial styling than we are. I continue to get reactions from gawking praise to sheer indifference. I will day that I was amazed at the looks we got in the GT-R. There was a young blonde next to us at a light that, according to the salesman, wanted to take her top off for us.

With the 928 comes a whole lifestyle, you learn wrenching skills, and get a worldwide group of friends. Plus the car is a good driving gt/sports car too.
With the GTR you still are following a Kia minivan at 63 mph in the fast lane just as you would be in a 928... All that speed and quickness mostly wasted on the street.

Me too... GTR isn't actually on the list of car I want to have.
928
XJS '83
Corvette Stingray '70
Mustang '67
Nope, not on the list.
It's butt ugly like all the butt ugly car of today.
Even Porsche cars, I don't like their look.
928 was different... I was like, ooooooh nice mean look, that's not a porsche, want one!

Did they take care of that 2 grand it cost to do a max acceleration issue, you know the one where you had to replace the transmission after 7 launches?
I am not trying to be a ***, but I remember when it came out there was a big stink, and then they took the launch feature out and that caused even more of a stink.

They are interesting cars for sure. I know lots of people who think they are very cool. Either way, it's silly fast.

So, can you do some hot launches on the test drive at the dealership?
GTR. Less than 100 miles. Great price.
Needs new transmission.
Make offer.
Ooops.

SInce you have kids and need a liveable back seat.....try the new V8 M3....I have one and its a FAR more comfortable liveable car....with only a slightly less performance than the GTR....I've driven both the GTR and M3....I found the GTR a bit too harsh...like the Z06
