I'm not into supercars so much since I most likely WILL NEVER have the money for them; do you think it will be a good trade off?
From my little understanding of both cars... GTR=Beautiful handling. R8...???
Should he turn it in?
SO. Is it worth it? Money doesn't matter much, but having a single car does. Take the trade? Or Mod?
Side Facts about the GTR: You're not allowed to do your own oil change or maintenance as it will void your warranty. Oil change costs $1800, and brake change + maintenance is $15k-19k.

$1800 oil change??? $15k for brakes??? I call 'dealer ass-raping' on those... Is this guy one of those more-money-than-brains types?
They're just big 6/4 pots. You could probably replace all the rotors and calipers with AP Racing* ones for less money...
