Haven't driven (or even rode passenger in) the GT-R but there are plenty of guys in their 30's and 40's driving them. How many 20 year olds can afford that car.......on thier own nickel? I say go for a test drive and let us know what you think. From what I hear/read, the transmission is noisy as hell and the ride is nowhere near as clompliant as your M3. There is no denying the performance of the GT-R. I personally like the exterior styling of the car and find the interior to be very acceptable albeit not BMW, MB, Porsche, Audi quality. People really bitch about the paint quality on the GT-R -- but we all know that our BMW's have an ass load of orange peel itself. I think the biggest obstacle that an M3 owner will have to overcome is the lack of driver involvement in the GTR.

In the back of my mind I just picture video game geeks salivating over the GT-R....a bit of a turnoff for sure.. but most likely wouldn't keep me from buying one.
