Should You Buy a AH-64 Apache Helicopter or a Nissan GT-R?

An Ah-64 Apache helicopter is a twin-blade turboshaft attack helicopter capable of 283 km an hour. Nissan ‘s GT-R is a 3.8l twin turbo V6 capable of 315 km an hour. Both are engineering marvels, but while they are both seriously cool machines, the question is which one should you want more?
When it comes to getting to work with an Apache Helicopter you will easily be able to skip traffic and if need be fire AGM-114 Hellfire at any idiots on the highway that forget to use indicators. However sitting in traffic with a GT-R is like being in a sweet shop on a diet. Both equally tempting, but points to the GT-R for the leather seats and air conditioning.
Both are completely impractical when it comes to doing the weekly shopping (unless you are this little old lady), but which one is less impractical?  Granted the Apache Helicopter has more space for shopping thanks to the open loading deck, but the GT-R is easier to use to pop up to the 7-11 for a quick coke and chips. Verdict: Tie.
Ever tried to pick up take out with an Apache? Few ever had. The Nissan GT-R definitely wins here.
Then again when it comes to parking, while you might think that finding parking for an Apache is easy - few buildings in town have helipads. However thanks to its arsenal, if you find a helipad and it is taken, it is only a matter of that little red button to ensure that it is open again. With a GT-R however, measuring 4.6 x 1.8m long and with parking sensors, parking is a breeze. Tie purely because of the thrill of destroying those idiots who can’t park properly.
When it comes to picking up people, the Apache is traditionally used to pick up and drop off soldiers from the battlefield. The GT-R is used to pick up super models. Definitely points to the GT-R.
Affordability? Could you ever afford to own Apache helicopter? Unless you are trying to overthrow insurgents in the middle east, chances are that you’ll never be able to get behind the stick of an Apache. The GT-R however is surprisingly affordable for a sports car and available right now.
Think this is a ridiculous comparison? Probably - there is nothing that really comes close to being compared to the Nissan GT-R.
