Geno, thats the first time ive seen someone wanting to import a car from Pakistan.

and yeh the taxes there are insane for cars, 300% tax on all cars. Once the WTO deal signs off then there will be a huge drop in prices and imports.

like for example, the new m5 is going for 134,000,000 rs which is equivalent to US$ 221,000.(and my one old classmate has already one, rich bastard)

yea i was thinking about this at work.. i've grown pretty interested in buying one, especially if its only ------- $5k. i've got hookups at the DMV too, so i could keep my RHD :6 but does anyone know if this site is even legit? i was reading around on it and some parts seem kinda fishy..

So whats the deal with importing non DOT approved cars for racing purposes? I "heard" that you have to show proof that it's actually being used for racing or something like that their only allowed for so many years and then have to be sent back. Just another "heard".

yea or maybe you can register a car as a classic car, i know they have classic car insurance that's hella cheaper than regular haha. but i think it has to be at least like 15 years old and you gotta prove somethin.. like it doesn't get driven much? or somethin

No, I think he's just making fun of the fact that most people on here can't cut sub 2 second 60 foot times, yet talk ---- about RWD/AWD ect.

skylines are pretty sweet, but not worth it imo. looks like people are getting pretty good deals on ones that have been imported already.

i wouldn't mind a 98 s14 with an rb26dett swap though.

Yeah, I TOTALLY agree. Taking into account what Jason had in the Accord he partially traded for, and the cash money handed over, $8700 for a US titled '99 R34 GTT with 16,240 km (that's right, 8K miles) that needs a front bumper/hood/paint is not worth it.

He'll have $12-13K in it, it will put 500 to the ground, and it will *really* not be worth it.

Actually, not worth it is defined by the '05 Evo Trav-ASS raced last night, fresh off the dyno w/ 490 awhp, that could only pull the Pigetra 1.5 cars from 40-150 mph on a pump gas street tune I wasn't finished with. $40K car + all the stupid high dollar riceboy ---- required to hit 490 awhp, afraid to launch from a standstill with that gay ass ---- due to drivetrain breakage, and having to run 110 octane to barely stroke a car that would have totally owned him if I'd had 15 minutes more tuning time.

well worth it that r34 was an absolute steal seeing as how people were paying more than 100,000 through motorex for them... but then again special ed is a tard ::)

Re: Any of you fags like Skylines?
 
$100K? LOL. You can find good R34 GTRs with low-ish miles and US titles for $40K or a bit less.
