If you're a 'real' car guy... not some poser driving around in a sports car... the maintenance is nothing more than a typical sports car... and significantly less than any other SuperCar! The M3 is great... with everything covered including service for the first 50K miles... but the GTR shouldn't be looked to be high maintenance when compared to any other SuperCar... Peace, Dave

Jokes aside... I am a former owner of a modified 350z and Nissan is a great car but for me and my tastes I want performance, comfort, and looks. Nissan has 1 of those 3 things I am looking for. I would go Gallardo or R8 if I wanted that performance level, looks, and comfort at a 10/10 level. Heck, I would even consider a ZR1 or F430.

I feel like the dual clutch and AWD takes half the fun away from mastering the art of driving (at the track). I'd rather be slower but know I'm earning my times at the track than being faster than everyone knowing the car is doing most of the work for me.
However when I'm passing up all of these lotus Elise's and spec miatas, I feel like I'm in the same scenario in the M3 with the huge power advantage.

Love, love my GTR. It was fun stock, but now that it's converted to E85 and making 600+ whp, it's the most entertaining car I've ever owned. The acceleration of this thing to 120 mph is just unbelievable. Sometimes it feels like it's going to ripple the asphalt it accelerates so brutally. If you are at all handy, the fluid services can be DIY for about $700 including the oil change rather than 1800+ at the dealer. Oil changes are as simple as any car, and $50 for the supplies for DIY.

The GTR is a beast. That's its personality. That would mean it has a surly disposition. It definitely has sould if it has those 2 characteristics. I can go further. It's raw and untamed. It takes what you give and pushes back. I forces you to be brave. It forces you to tearn how to survive its beastliness. Can you ever master it? If that isn't soul nothing is. |

I'm no GTR hater and certainly appreciate what the car can do from a performance standpoint but these comments are ludicrous. |

The car is not the fastest, it isn't the best looking but if you just go in it on a lap around a race track (as I have), you'd understand why they made the car - it is for the driving experience. Everything screams at your senses. The heavenly engine note, the manual feeling gear changes and precise steering feedback. After I got out of that car, I had tears in my eyes. It is an emotional experience. It definitely is not a "Lexus" as you think a regular Lexus is. Here's my thread about it and my in-car video. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=657065 |

I just got my 18k service done at a dealer for $850. For the amount of performance you get out of the car, it is well worth the maintenance cost. If you can afford a 100k for a car you should be able to pay for periodic maintenance.

Part of the reason I say it's raw is because you can hear the gears shift and it has unending power....it seems. |

Great write up. Im mixed about GTR. No reason for anyone to pay 100k for a Nissan.
Now a CLK63 black series on the other hand..is truly a machine and only $70k used. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...item2c66af6814 |
