Opinion: Whipple 5.0 or 2021 Nissan GT-R?

Thanks for the insight. I might hang on to the Mustang and keep an eye out for the c8 z06 or 911.

A whipple car beating a stock GTR is nothing to write home about.

Exactly the point I was making.

250K then you need to drop another 50K into it, yeah nah. Mustang #FTW

GTR's only like $110K not $250K, but I agree if you have that kind of money I'd look at some other stuff as well

I've been looking at 120k msrp so about $132k OTD plus shipping if bought out of state to California. It's a dream car of mine but is very dated and about to be discontinued, so last chance to buy new. For the price, a new 911 or R8 is much nicer. Just can't get the GTR out of my head.

A new CTS-V fully loaded would be a pretty sweet ride for less money with the option to easily mod and I honestly see less than GTR's and 911's. Im also currently waiting on a whipple since december and a CTS-V is a dream car of mine i wouldnt mind trading out of for.

I received the Whipple and installation date is set for 6/12. Unless I find something in the next 9 or so days, I'll be keeping the Mustang for awhile.

GTRs are in the 6s now. Sure op would be spending a lot more to mod or even purchase the car, but if he could accept that then I guess he should purchase one.

A lot more money is an under statement. One of my best friends has a 900whp gtr. He spent 23 grand just to get to that level. And he only roll races it out of fear of hurting the transmission. Here’s a photo of his car at a roll event at pocono raceway.

Nothing out there will beat a "Tesla Model S Plaid Plus"...0-60 in under 1.99 sec
Considering

GTR is the better car and it's not close, no brainer decision IMO

 

[musclecar6]

Why not a GT500 to replace the GT ?

Can't find one here in CA without a markup

Cybertruck TexPlaid Doge Plus
The performance version is ripping tire carcasses in testing and accomplished damaging an asphalt test surface.

Imagine a 6200# dragster doing a wheel stand delivering 2800 lbft all thru two rear contact patches.

Locomotive torque

If it’s a dream car(mine too) and you can afford it, I’d go straight for GTR and forget about the mustang…(I know, I know….blasphemy!! Sorry guys, Ford taught me not to be loyal to it) I’d sell the mustang to ease the financial blow and keep the wife happy too.

I get that way of looking, if I had the kind of money to buy one mine would be a pristine 1st gen Viper.
You do you, if its your dream car go for it.
