I went from M3 to GT-R and then back to the M3... Here was my logic for coming back to the M3:
- The sound of the M3's amazing V8 screaming all the way to 8,400rpm - better than a V6 any day in my book!
- As much as AWD traction is nice to have, it won't allow you to "have fun" the way RWD will.
- And finally, the biggest issue for me... I want a "normal" manual transmission - not DSG, DTC, etc.
- Lousy prior experience with Nissan dealers (owned a 2002 Maxima SE before my Subaru).
While I understand the GT-R is undoubtedly the better performing of the two, there's more to driving (for me) than absolute speed... The GT-R is an amazing machine, but it lacks the emotion of the M3 in my book.
