Hi guys, hoping I can get some good clean unbiased advice hopefully from owners of both cars.
My situation, I have a Mrs in a relationship now for 8 or so years, and we have 1 child (5 years old)
I have always been into cars, and when my business become successful, I decided to splash out on a 2010 Nissan GTR. Fact it had back seats so me and the family could go on weekend trips away was brilliant. Now you say, well I answered my own question, I need a backseat so GTR wins, technically yes, but emotionally no.
Here is why, admittedly I have had ADHD as a child, so attention was something I liked. However I used my ADHD positively, and was what helped me keep working hard until where my business sits today. A lot of bad stigma comes with ADHD, especially at a young age, everyone thinks you will amount to nothing, and will end up with a crap job and on drugs. What these people don't know however is over half of the most successful people in the world had ADHD, including Alan Sugar, Richard Branson, couple of the dragons from dragons den, anyway list goes on so do a google search if you want to see all of the top businessman with ADHD.
So with that out the way, I enjoy attention, even more so now because as a child everyone though I would amount to nothing, and now being successful the Car makes me feel good inside, without hurting anyone else. Now of course the R8 now wins when it comes to attention over the GTR. The GTR does turn heads everytime its out, and I have never driven an R8 so can't comment on real life attention in the R8. The 5 months we have owned the GTR, we have only been for 1 weekend away to London in the GTR. So I'm starting to think am I wasting the car and could possibly upgrade to an exotic over pure street racer without any arguments with the Mrs
I am of course aware of bad attention, I have been called every name under the sun in the GTR, from daddys boy, W*anker, show off, rich kid blah blah, im sure you have all experienced this in someway. I'm 28 with a babyface, to a point I look no older than 18-19, so this does not help driving a supercar, a young lad would get a lot more hate than a over 45-50 driving a supercar.
Has anyone here owned both cars, what are your experiences, please no speed or power comparison, I know the GTR is ALOOT faster etcetc. But I'm not looking for pure performance, but more of a make me feel special every time I drive it feeling. Looking forward to any advice, and all thanks in advance.
