I really doubt he's killing anyone making a 90 degree turn at a light in second gear.

This Friday, I will have the RS out on the track - as part of the brake in. (at least that's what I tell myself) So the plan is to learn the car at 7-8/10 and brake it in properly. |

Yet you mentioned there were cars, and if you think that a 90 degree turn in 2nd gear can't kill someone, you are greatly mistaken about the force of a 3000 lb car hitting a 150 lb person walking on the sidewalk minding his own business.

attila, im sure youre a decent guy but attempting to compare a an M3 to a true thoroughbred sportscar was destined to cop some serious flack. I think thats why you haven't seen seen any comparo's on these 2 before. There really is no comparison. The M3 is the better daily driver due to its general practicalities, softer ride, lighter clutch etc but thats the start and finish of it.

Was out at MAM with the RS last Friday. Was very interesting. The RS is not really difficult and malignant at all. (still managed to spin it, due to wet track, SC TC off, and some overconfidence) |

You're right. It's a very easy car to drive and drive fast even in the rain. You have to really not know how to drive and come in too hot to go off. At first I was very nervous just driving it on regular roads thinking it was going to spin for no reason. I guess 911's are really a thing of the past.

congrats - love that rear end.
agree with you 100%; things dont ever live up to the hype we build up for them. I never dreamt of the M3 per say, so I never had expectations for it - I am not disappointed in the least. Other cars you build-up in your mind and hold on a pedastle will ultimately fail you in some way - but I am sure the gt3rs will please overwhelmingly as a totality. At least for me, this stands true of any purchase I dwell on really. Do you mind me asking if you wished you went with ZR1 or Gt-R instead? All brilliant cars.

I liked the ZR-1 more than I thought I would. My only issue was the size of the car - I am sure one would get used to that - and the interior. It had a strange plasticy, anylin type smell to it. Not the regular good, new car smell. On my short trip the seet was fine. The shifter was somewhat questionable though. The car was brutally fast even low down - like 2K rpm - a fun feeling. Hard to evaluate a car during a 20 min trip and it was long ago. I think if you have the ZR-1 in mind try the carbon edition Z0-6. I tried only the '10 GT-R not the new upgraded '12. (I will testdrive that next weekend!!) You can find plenty of reviews on the GT-R and I don't think can add too much. I was hesitating for long between the GT3RS and the GT-R. I cannot really tell you why I choose the RS. Maybe, because it was some sort of a childhood dream to have a P-car. You cannot go wrong with the GT-R or the RS. The RS is amazing if you push it. I took some turns recently at speeds never thought possible with any car. Not even a hint of SC interaction. |

C'mon man....I can tell you why you chose it. Because it is one of the last pure high performance sports cars on the planet! To me, if one were looking to buy a racecar that they could actually enjoy on the street, the GT3RS would be the only choice. I cannot wait to own my GT3 or even better, GT3RS in the near future. Beautiful car man! Enjoy it! -SZ |

Just wanted to say congrats on the purchase and your honest review. Others seem to think you are trying to put down Porsche, but to me it is clear that you are simply disappointed compared to the expectations that you (justifiably, I admit) held.
A few months on, what would be your recommendation to someone else considering the same jump? The GT3 is at the top of my list when the warranty on my M3 expires, but your thread gives me some reservations. |
