So I guess we should all buy the car with the most appreciation regardless of its purchase price? Yet, somehow Honda Civics still sell pretty well.

Yeah but... The GTR is a £55-60k car and is a match on the Ferrari supercar. The GTR is \'stock\' and can hold it\'s own against the Ferrari! The GTR can be tuned up to about 900 bhp and the would own it! You can\'t really tune \'supercars\' to the extent of a tuner car!Overall i\'d pick the GTR for value for money. The true test of a car is the \'legendary Nurburgring\'.
