Why don't you people obsess on something else? BMW does screwy warranty crap too. The GTR is a great car. And the fact that there a repeated threads on it in practically every non Nissan car forum proves the point.
If you don't want it why do you bother commenting? |

Well wear as they say in Ireland. Keep the shiny side up. Are you ditching the M3? |

Porsche is brilliant that way. Go through a configuration once. You could double the price of the car if you really tried. I'm going to sell my wife's X5 and she'll drive my Cayenne GTS. And I'm also selling the Mercedes. I'm keeping the GT-R. |

What's your daily driver?
Love the CLK BS. What are looking to get for it?

I'm looking for $75-80K. I just put new Pirelli PZero Corsas on it. I'll probably drive the Nissan as a DD. I currently have four vehicles and its just too expensive. I want to get down to three between my wife and me. I'm definitely selling my wife's X5 and the Mercedes. My wife will drive the Cayenne GTS (which she loves compared to the Bimmer). For me there are two options: Option #1-Just keep the GTR as my DD for winter and the GT3 for the non snowy seasons. Option #2-Sell the GTR to a friend of mine (who currently owns my old E46 M3) and buy a used Cayenne GTS, Turbo, or Turbo S for winter and use the GT3 for summer. |

Since they only made the CLK BS for a year, I think it will eventually be a collectors item, in about 15-20 years.
You have a nice dilemma to deal with. I have been salivating over the GT3 for quite some time now. I am envious...

I found out the local Nissan dealer had some GTRs (4-5 of them actually) and funnily enough this was on the window of one of them. What are the odds? On a positive note, I'm figuring at least this will mean they won't be afraid to give me a test drive; I'm still damn curious about the car and how it compares to the M.
On a side note, my girlfriend thought the interior of the GTR was *nicer* than the M. She did, however, think the exterior was hideous. In her words, "If your car is a 9, that thing is a -5". I mostly agree, which is totally opposite of what I expected; I thought I'd dislike the interior and be impressed with the exterior. Not so much. |

I'm kind of the opposite opinion. I think the interior of an M is significantly better than the GTR while the exterior is a toss up. Performance wise there's no contest. |

Sorry, I didn't read through your pdf, but when is your scheduled delivery for the GT3? Also good luck with the sale of the BS as owners have been taking serious hits on those cars lately. |

*Made an ill advised attempt to pass a semi on a twisty Oregon two lane road, not realizing there was another semi in front of it and towards oncoming cars. Once committed I had to follow through, but hit hit 150mph before I got back in my lane. I nearly shit myself. |

Those limitations are excessive.Still, short blasts on open roads can be fun.Additionally,is tracking the car really a way to void your warranty?I'd think that they mean if something breaks, then they don't cover it, not that you lose your warranty! If so, these are ridiculous claims!

I think you are correct. They can't void your warrantee if nothing broke on the track day. Someone will fight them and they'll lose. |
