When I hear people talk about wanting 700+ hp, generally they are talking about being fast stoplight to stoplight and not on the track. I think a GT3 RS would be a waste.

700+ AWHP would certainly be a handful at the track...but it will see a lot of track time. I like a car that can perform well in a multiple-discipline environment. Not a car that is designed for a singluar purpose. So you are correct...I am not interested in a GT3.

Few years ago I had same problem 997 turbo or r8 v8, whent for track day to test both. Decision was easy 997 Turbo because of power and handling. In 2011 I thought that is time for change and again I could chose 997 Turbo S or R8 V10, and again porsche won thsi competition. Love that car it's proper sport ride, R8 for me is a bit gallardo wannabe...

Here are some interesting facts: At todays borrowing rates of 1.49%, lenders are actually paying you to borrow. The annual inflation rate has been 2%, but the actual rate is much higher (4%+) since BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) has been altering the basket of goods that comprises the index...to keep the calculated inflation rate low, which helps keep social security payments low... So in general terms, borrowing at 1.49% when the dollar is losing 4%+ value is really paying you roughly 2.5% percent. You financial experts, these are just general numbers. If you dont believe the inflation numbers look at historical Oreo Cookies pricing below: [1990] 2.69/lb $0.168c/oz [1991] 2.39/lb $0.149c/oz [1992] 1.99/20 oz $0.099c/oz [1993] 1.19/5.8 oz $0.205c/oz [1994] 2.49/20 oz $0.125c/oz [1995] 1.09/4.8 oz $0.227c/oz [2004] 2.99/lb $0.187c/oz [2008] 4.29/18 oz $0.238c/oz 27% increase from 2004 [2012] 4.59/15.5 oz $0.296c/oz 24% increase from 2008 [2013] 4.59/14.3 oz $0.321c/oz 8% increase from 2012 However, to take advantage of the rates and turn a profit, you will need to buy something that beats inflation...hard assets or stocks... I am taking advantage of all the 1% loans right now for any reason.

Well, I still have the M3 and will keep it for two more years. It's under the knife as we speak with a little power upgrade that should be done by the end of this week
Heavily leaning toward the R8 V10 with the UGR TT kit once the M3 is gone.

I started to look into the same car. I can't believe the price is not bad for a used one.

Awesome! Are you looking at the V8 or the V10? I couldn't believe the $80K price difference for a new one ($110K for a new V8 and $190K for a new v10)! What prices are you seeing for used ones right now?

I'm looking at v10. There is a local one here for 129k used. I believe it's a 09?
