I had the issue of CAR magazine that featured that group test back in about '97?

Go the R33

[ras1983]

Hell yeah, it was kicking some a$$ back then. The cars it managed to beat on the track are some mighty impressive cars.

[sneakey pete]

50000 pounds. Hasn't kept its value since then... (good or bad, who knows?)

[RB25PWR]

Name a car that 'keeps' it's value?

[benkoau]

seems as though the new gtr suffers the same problems of its older brother blisteringly quick but ultimately uninvolving.oh well take enjoyment in the fact that while youre smashing everything else on track...i was going to add more but i think that bout sez it

[V-Spec]

this is what i want to see - skylines kicking butt

You can pick up a R33 for 30K now that cost 100K when released. the Ferrari that its just a few seconds faster than (on that track) cost probably 300K on release and 200K or so now. (approximate, of course).

Ok so it's lost 70% of it's original value in what, 14 ish years. That's not holding its value...

video reminds me of when tiff reviewed the uk r34 gtr for the first time. love the older vids

Err, that's exactly what i said. "50000 pounds. Hasn't kept its value since then... (good or bad, who knows?)"

Compared to the ferrari, at least. My point is, you can get a car that's about as fast (in certain conditions) for a lot less nowdays.

[squiggles]

gtr should have won that hands down! where's the yellow jun they tested when you need it?

yeah... nah, your wrong

Private Price Guide $104,700 - $118,800

both are worth about a 1/3rd of their original price, except if you bought the ferrari you would have lost triple the money

[aDrew_C]

So obviously we need to all be rich and buy cars like ther Ferrari F40 and McLaren F1 which GAIN value.

I'd like to see top gear do a test like this now with newer versions of these cars... well an evo instead of the 3000gt.

One thing Id like to point out.

For a Ferrari of that price range, would only have about hmm 5-20k kms on the clock. If you have a look around, Most are Very low Kms.

Now if you did the same comparison to teh R33 for examlpe.? How much do you think you would have to payf or a R33 GTR thats only done a 'Genuine 15k kms'

My guess. 50k -65k or more?

[SilverECR33]

Speaking of Ferraris' just found this while checking the Devalue rates on them.

The only 575M-GTC in Australia. Carbon Fibre Brakes, etc.etc... Built in Radar Detector & Lazer Gun Jammer.

Wat The... F#?

[R-R-Rx7]

the skyline was the fastest and all 3 of them were happy with it ..i dont see why its not no.1

[Marko R1]

gtr comes out on top

[Silvia GTR]

^^^Dont they always

[soulfire]

^^^Dont they always

lol "teh GTR can neva loose!!" - it's a right call though, gtr's are uninvolving to drive. seriously, i've driven r33 gtr's that felt slow, and then it runs a 12 all day every day lol.
