very tempted. GREAT cars. Performance bargains. Just sensational cars!
HOWEVER they are very very big and very very heavy.
There ring times are incredible. BUT they cant do it all day.... they are very much one lap wonders. They get VERY hot and bothered. Gearboxes especially.
They are stupidly hard on tyres and brakes and they need to go back to dealers after every trackday as well! and dont even START looking at pranging one! look at the bonnet lifter thing saga! OMFG!
They are VERY VERY much more happy as fast road cars than trackcars. I have the red dancing donkey for fast road fun stuff which is just sooooooo much more of an 'event' to drive and feels much more special than the Datsun
So in the end.. I decided something lightweight, super reliable and easy on consumables and fun and rewarding to drive at slower speeds was way forward for my 2011 Ring chariot. So I bought a little white Lotus Exige S! am LOVING it so far. Takes lap after lap of abuse!
I definately have thought long and hard about GTR though! if only they did a convertable
