That was my first thought too. Classic Craigslist photography.

I think he (I assume he) was trying to take arty pics with a cell phone.  It looks like he at least tried with the staging.

 

I know nothing about R35 GT-R's, they do nothing for me in looks or concept compared to the older cars.  But if the add is true, that doesn't seem a bad price for a 1,200hp streetable car that could be DD's.  As I say, if true.....

I always viewed R35s like ugly girls with big boobs, fun to drive, but not fun to look at.

What’s a new gtr run? That’s a hell of a deal! Though I dont think it would be police that would give me the trouble, rather, if something broke on that system, enough troubles to warrant the resell.

I've been pulled over on a berkeleying office chair, I don't need a six figure price tag and a four figure dyno number to get into trouble!  angel

We'll just call it a butter face. As in everything is good, but her face.

Not to mention, who in the hell actually buying a $115,000 car would be looking for it on craigslist?

Rich Chinese international students going to University here.  You'll find it again on Craigslist a year later for half price with some dings and ugly plasti dip.

You forgot about the half-jacked liberty walk kit that got drug off in the Starbucks drive thru

Exactly. I can get thrown in Jail fast enough with my $40K car and probably break a lot less parts.

I've sometimes wondered how much money you could make just buying a car with E36 M3ty pictures and putting up some really good ones

If nothing else, 3500-5000 rpm has got to be entertaining...more than doubling the torque (400-850 ft-lb) in 1500rpm.

Need?  No. .. .  Want?  Absolutely!!!!!  That is what I call a "because we could" car.  No real reason for it other than because they could build it.  I like people like that!  The world is a better place with people like that !!!!

Agreed Dean. 1200hp that can be driven normally on the daily. Where else could I get that? I could live with the looks of an r35, they don't do well in pics.

I got stopped the other day in my son's $2300 Protege5, thereby saving myself well over $100K.

In reply to mndsm :

Sometimes, unattended office furniture and perfectly smooth freshly laid asphalt combine in such a way that one can find one's self careening down the road, tiny plastic wheels speed-wobbling away, holding onto an extension cord which stretches to the trunk of an old Honda; until an unmistakable woop WOOP and flashing lights bring an end to the shenanigans.  Allegedly.
