Someday. I made the mistake of getting into a tuned 2010 and it was much quicker and more brutal than I expected. I am trying to forget so I can sleep! I have never driven a gt3 rs but just sitting in a 2011 a while ago made me wanna cash in some retirement and go bonkers.

I would say it was pretty much what I expected from a turbo engine. It's all about the boost. Very exhilarating acceleration. I had a smile on my face and I don't usually smile.

I have the same thoughts but the price keeps going up with the improvements.

So afraid that I won't get out of the driver seat

I have to say that the seating position is very comfortable, not bad at all when you consider I came from a M3

Remind me not to by a GTR on the lot unless I special order it.

OP, sounds like the car was a lot of fun. I rather not tempt myself by driving one.

I am actually glad that I did it. Whether the deal works out or not I will be happy.

Since you asked, I am 42, and yes, I slowed down to legal speed by the time I merged onto the highway. Why don't you lecture all M3Post members on why it is irresponsible to exceed the speed the limit on the public road. I suppose you never went above the speed limit yourself.

Hahahaha... You tell'em!!

I believe anyone who has owned any kind of sports car has exceeded the speed limit or at one point has driven wreck less.. Even if it was 95mph on the wAy to Vegas... I love how people act like they always drive 65mph on the highway.

Ignorance is bliss when it comes to the GTR it seems. A lot of people commenting on how they wont test drive it, out of fear of liking it. BMW wont break up with you if you try another car brand. Trust me.

sdshah · 08-07-2012, 01:42 PM

I like my M3...but your weakness in cars comes when you cant let go of something. attachment is fun until you figure out when it is time to move. Regardless the GTR is just a ridiculously astonishing car. It has just more brut to it.

If you really like cars you want THEM ALL. lol

That's not what people mean. They are happy with the M3. Why test drive a car they are pretty sure they will fall in love with and then waste a bunch of money upgrading to? Their decision not to test drive is basically a financial one.

I love the GTR, but honestly I have no desire to own one myself. I like changing gears myself, love RWD, and just have no desire to own such a heavy car regardless of the performance numbers. I've taken a 25 minute ride in a GTR at Laguna Seca so I know what it's capable of. It's just not for me.

The GTR is butt ugly. Sure its fast but I will never like the look of it.

Just stating my opinion. A friend has one and even he questions the body style. That damn thing is a beast I must admit.

chmura · 08-07-2012, 03:30 PM

What dealer was this? I want to go test drive a GTR also.

That is true.

Many people are BMW fanboys on here.

Regarding the pass-aggressive judgmental comment, I am sure most of us on this forum has "broken the law' at one point or another, but most of us grown ups don't do it at night, while intoxicated, or take excessive risks that are beyond the limits of the cars we are driving. We enjoy this hobby in good health and in a clean way.

I do this on a daily basis, and quite frankly, I don't think there is anything wrong or unsafe with what I am doing. Speed limits have to be set to accomodate weak drivers and weak cars, neither of which apply to me.

If I get caught, I get caught, but I have been driving fast for over 30 years and I am still here so I have passed the test of time from a safety standpoint.

Keik E92 M3 · 08-07-2012, 08:39 PM

honestly in person the GTR looks better than the M3 to me.

Yes, GT-R definitely has an exotic feel to it when you are standing next to it. Maybe that's part of the mystique; we know this thing is damn powerful. I also noticed that the fit and finish is quite good, which is surprising for a Nissan.

Yes! That's what I thought too.

The GTR is a great car and I've driven plenty of them, most of them modified. But it really needs to be driven fast to fully appreciate it. I still prefer the E92 M3 as a daily driver.
