I think I posted with you last year...but still on these forums...im hearing the same stuff about M3s and what they'll do to a GTR. I honestly don't think that many of the posters here realize what beasts are out there let alone modified. I understand being enthused. I get it. Totally, but lets not be delusional either. That's why I keep pushing 2k shamelessly Honestly dude, I think they just don't know any better. I just advise everyone on here to attend ONE 2k meet. They just may come back a very changed (albeit humbled) person. |

Serious question here for the GTR guys--particularly former (or maybe even still current) M3 owners, who can compare. I don't care about drag racing. I get it, the GTR is faster than thought itself. But can you guys lay down for me what the GTR feels like, in comparison? What about those twisty canyon roads? What about interior (and even exterior, as has already been discussed somewhat) aesthetics? What about driving feel? Can you help me understand these differences, and anything else that may be related? I'm very happy with my M3 at the moment, but I can't say that--if the opportunity presented itself--I wouldn't roll with Godzilla at some point. Thanks.

Most people believe the interior is understated, which I suppose it is. But compared to a Corvette or any other American car its far superior. The recarro seats are much better (at least compared to the leather seats in the M3) for spirited driving, though not as comfortable on long drives. The Bose system sounds good, but isn't up to par with the Logic 7 in the M3. The exterior seems to be love or hate on this forum, though I haven't heard any negative comments at the gas station yet. The GT-R gets a lot more looks and questions than the M3 did, though its still a dick magnet. The throttle response is not instant like the M3, but when it spools up there really is no comparison to the rush. Cant imagine what the SBD700 feels like In short, there pretty much polar opposites. I wouldn't suggest driving one until your ready to buy, or at least thinking of it. I made the mistake (not really) of riding in one at the track one day, and couldn't stop thinking of it till I owned one! |

Wait until you meet a random AMS Alpha 9 on the freeway. Those cars are SICK.

Any of you guys DD your GT-R? I read that the new 2015 model may have a more comfortable ride. I really need the car for DD and not for the track. It would basically replace the M3. I was OK daily driving my GT3RS until the suspension and exhaust changes. So I can tolerate some but abuse, but not entirely masochistic either.

I only read the first 3 pages but this thread reminds me a lot of the 335i vs m3 threads. Two different cars in two different classes designed for different purposes.

I dd'd my first GT-R. Loved it but it was not the most comfortable car.
M3 and GT-R are in different leagues. I have great passion and respect for both cars. Driving experience is quite different between two, unique and rewarding for each of cars. To me they are both great cars and very special. Don't judge them on speed. Don't judge them on handling. Don't judge them on looks or even sounds they make. Appreciate them for all of the above.

Do you all think that I would regret giving up my e92 M3 (2013, just a shade under 10k miles, still 2 yrs warranty and free maintenance remaining, last NA M, only V8 M3 ever, and all that good stuff in mind), if I sold it or traded it now, to get in a GT-R? I have quoted you two guys above, because I really appreciated your responses, and I think you guys might have the most to be able to offer me, in terms of advice, condolences, or whatever. I still have not driven one, and at the rate I am going, it looks like nobody is going to let me until I have signed paperwork. I did get a chance to finally sit in one on Saturday, and I did notice that the seatback wasn't as comfortable as my M's (and, apparently, isn't adjustable--like the Ms is), but the seat bottom was probably more comfortable. So I think I see what you mean, krzykk. If I do get a GT-R, I hope I don't get bored with it as quickly as I have my M3 and my S5. Alas, I'm afraid I MIGHT be a serial car-changer... |
