For that amount of $$$, you could get a new GTR, a used 911T, or you could have a new M3 with mods: an intercooled S/C, titanium exhaust, BBK, coils, tires for the same price (actually less).

The M3 will be fastest in a roll race. From a dead stop the M3 will be playing catch-up and perhaps it's all even by the end of the quarter mile. At the track who knows...the M3 has stepped it up with coils/brakes/tires but the stock GTR and 911T are formidable and which one is faster really depends on the particular track and driver competency. My guess is that for a novice, the GTR and 911T will be faster given the grip levels.

All three cars will be tons of fun.

Sure with unlimited $$$ you could make the 911T and GTR way faster. But that's not really what the OP was after.


Throwing modded vehicles into car buying equations is a mistake IMO.
You're presuming that the entry price is all you're going to fork out.
Modded vehicles by their very nature cost more because of warranty and depreciation issues.
So what's your suggestion then, not buying the car he wants because it is modded or maybe creating a thread about his dilema so that people can give him advice about what to expect with supercharging an M3!!? :
