WHAT!!?? No Godzilla? damn.we were really betting on you to give a proper drive/ownership/mod job report of the GTR.
knowing you, I guess the next buy is a better one.
first things first, your signature gotta change.

ecksreturns · 7th September 2009, 08:04

Its better for sure! Let me confirm it first and then the reveal!

MAG9 · 7th September 2009, 08:52

Hey KD, you should'nt have disclosed that.
It would have been fun to see a different car than what was expected.
You could have surprised us.

No doubts on your choice man!
Do raise the curtain off the mysterious car soon!
Is it the new A.M. or the F-car???

mohitd · 7th September 2009, 11:41

Is it a GT500
How come no one possesses muscle in India.

Cyrus43 · 7th September 2009, 12:24

Because the GT-500 in reality is a crap car for the kind of money you are paying for it!! And you cant get it in RHD, unless you intend on ruining the car

DSC.CUSTOMS · 7th September 2009, 12:44

Now what could that 'Mysterious car' be .

bivin · 7th September 2009, 13:29

ARRGH!!! THE TENSION IS KILLING ME!!
have you reverted back to the porsche plan again?? OH WAIT, its the AM isnt it!!

shamik.bose · 7th September 2009, 14:01

@karan: please please the new AM V12 Vantage.. please please.... :P

AltoHoncho · 7th September 2009, 16:35

my votes for the AM. guess we guys can start a "guess the car" competition till he reveals. ecks'll be snickering all the while I'm sure.

ecksreturns · 7th September 2009, 20:21

Snickering for sure! Just a few more hours.

bivin · 7th September 2009, 20:55

hmm.. i guess most of us here who are going to spend these few hours glued to this page better have something to keep them busy. nothing like good ol' speculation. im preparing a list of cars which i think can satisfy ecks's need of the moment and you guys can takeover form there:

1) Aston Martin Vantage : Great car,ecks loves it too, but then comes the problem of servicing.

2) Ferrari 458 ITALA: Beautiful thing, should be quick. but ferrari hasnt hit Indian shores yet, so the problem of servicing arises yet again. plus i guess hed be exceeding his budget by miles.

3) Porsche Cayman S: err.. i dont know how this name came up, but this is a competent car nonetheless, relatively good servicing, and fits his "budget" too.

4) Porsche 911 turbo: Maybe his budget has just gone higher.

5) Audi R8 V10: hell, its V8 brother is Indias most "practical supercar" so why not. oh wait i forgot,his brother already has the V8 so this doesnt make much sense.

6) Slk 55 amg: why not?? or wait, isnt brabus coming to town??

7) Nissan GTR: Maybe, just maybe.. (fingers crossed)

8) Mitsubishi Evo: Immensely capable car. even little children can make it go faster.

9) Twin Turbo Tata nano: OK, im really running out of ideas here now.

so come on, LET THE SPECULATION BEGIN!!
