The other cars you named have been dubbed "Hyper cars". (Bugatti, Koenigsegg--i dont put the Ferrari in that class tho). In addition, numerous well known, competing magazines, Television personalities (Jay Leno, car nut has probably driven it all) call it that. As silly as it sounds those are cars that are simply insane. Period. And OEM is much different than aftermarket. Plus, any car that does 0 60 in under 3 sec is just crazy. lol |

Even if you're not a fan, the car is hardly a "joke". Do you think a 997 Turbo S with PDK is a joke too? You're just a freakin troll. Why on earth do you frequent GTR threads anyway? If you hate them so much why not just avoid the topic?

997GT3 did you have a DCT M3?
I'm worried that once I get used to the speed of the GTR I'll be itching for something else. Which is what has happened with the M3. |

The problem with GTR is that if you get an itch for more performance it would be an expensive upgrade.

If you do get used to it, which is fairly difficult if you are not regularly tracking your car , it's easy to mod. A Cobb tune alone will transform the car quite a bit. There are good tuners with many options that can take care of you well beyond that point.

So, not quite sure how this is "polluting" the forum when you can just choose to not click on the thread if you don't like thinking about, talking about, hearing about or looking at anything other than M3s.

Also, this is a forum so debates and disagreements will occur. What we do not tolerate here however is debating or disagreeing in a manner that's disrespectful, insulting, or derogatory. If ANY member should resort to such things, it warrants infraction(s) and suspension. I encourage everyone to make use of the report post button if they should come across these types of attitudes and posts.

I'm not sure I know what the difference is anymore between GT's and sports cars. As is clearly evident from the community here, people use their M3s as GT cars, track cars, daily drivers, etc. |

Considering the fact that I have owned an M3, M6, X6M, X5, X3, and 325Xi I guess I would not fall into the "irritant" category, correct? I'm hardly a Nissan "fanboy" I just have a problem with uninformed opinions on the GTR.

They do, quite a bit really. Look at the new 991. It's larger and has even been given an electric steering. In truth, it's not wrong to "mess with things" cos how else are u gonna justify producing the same stuffs in a new generation car? Nobody is gonna keep buying the same car esp after a 5 year gap between generations. Regulation changes also force the manufacturers' hands. Many blast BMW for abandoning high revving NA, but it's merely following regulations in emission and efficiency.

Regulation changes are just an excuse. BMW makes like 50 different non-M models and just a couple M models. They could keep NA engines in the M cars and still have a good fleet average.

Is it the guy who said "its still just a nissan." in THIS thread? I find myself and a few others defending ignorant and uniformed comments about the GTR. |
