With that being said the gtr was boring but the m3 I felt alive and I felt this car was ready to do my bidding and if I pushed or used to hard it would make me pay for it and I didnt get that with the Nissan. As I driver I want stable yes but I also want to feel my car hear my car like I Said before the gtr is a one night stand but the m3 that the car you take home for life and that is why 20 years from now when I am old and decrepit the m3 will still be a legend and the gtr will be a super car that any "pissed of teenager could drive" that one is just for you 997gtr lol




My experience has been that I don't get a good feel for a car for quite some time. There are cars I have loved at first then ended up hating them (eg 2006 M6) and there are cars I first drove and was unimpressed then ended up loving (both GTRs).
IMO, test drives have limited value. I generally get more out of reading about a vehicle.
