a fully load GTR premium which included all the options such as NAV, premium audio, etc is just 90k. so there is 51k different in price, that is not a small different IMO consider the turbo doesn't handle as well as the gtr and is actually slower than the GTR around the track. only the turbo S can match it. But the turbo S is pushing 170k easily.

i configured a brand new turbo with equivalent option to a gtr and it came up to 151k. notice i didn't even go crazy with all the nonsense options yet. e.g. i didn't upgrade the seats, there is no rear parking camera, etc.

there are not many reasons to get the telephone module, (BT supersedes that and is standard), or electronic log book; voice control not so much either. with that said why ruin the rear bumper with those butt ugly park sensors? does a GTR even come with those? Full Leather is standard on the turbo and is infinitely better than what comes in the GTR. baseball style stitching on leather dash, doors, rear compartment, etc. build quality, paint, etc. far better. worth $47/$48k probably not. you mentioned not upgrading the seats, you can and they are nice, but not necessary.

the delta is more like $47k (without adding unwanted or excessive options) rather than $51k, as a base GTR is $91k. hey, $47/$51k is a lot either way.

again, the S is typically $165K or less.

Upfront costs are only part of the equation about value.
Resale is another aspect. I know my GTRs have held their value relatively well but I'm not too sure about 911s(I assume they hold pretty well too).
This aspect is why I have been shying away from new Mercs and Bimmers.

i hear you. mercs seem to fall off the earth. bmws don't do a bunch better, imo.

911 turbos tank pretty hard. other 911s do fairly well. gt3s and RSs hold up the best of the group. but they are still your typical depreciating asset. yes, gtrs have good residuals. i am always tempted by them. they just get better and better.

i have only driven a gtr briefly at slower speeds in the dealer parking lot and roads around the dealership. with that said, i found the rougher ride, noises and such, welcome. to the contrary i found my 2007 turbo to be too boring, with too high a ride height and far too quiet. yes, very fast with immense torque and grip, but not exciting enough. hence the current gt3.

It will not be. The M3 is a totally different type of car with a very different purpose.

Besides, the M3 is only allowed to be faster on a track/Ring than the M5/6, but not in the straights so it will never match a GTR.

I love when people claim they can buy 5 GTRs.

If you had 500k to spend on a car or cars. You'd have something more than an M3 as your designated "sports car"

The M3 is a great car, but its not pure bred sports car. It's a mutt.

GTR comes with rear view camera, it screen has NAV, log book, g meter, everything builtin that a track junkie would need. what i was trying to do was match the option of the turbo with the gtr to have a real fair price comparison. in any case, those options on the porsche don't cost much anyway, so at the end of the day, the porsche is still around 47k more out the door like you mentioned and that is not much diff than my 51k estimated earlier

What a shocker, another thread posted about something cool the GTR is doing and it derails into a flame war.

Cool vids either way.

Whhhaaaat??? No way, I only get involved when people say that the M3 is dog shit compared to a GT-R. OR when arrogant GT-R owners forget that there are faster cars in the same price range or faster cars all together

The GT-R is a great car, supercar, superhyper car or whatever you want to call it, you don't need to prove it to me.

NO THANKS. It's ugly, it's heavy (more than twice the weight of my exige), it's a playstation on wheels. I'm surprised it doesn't drive itself...it already does everything else for the driver anyway.

2.8g is just in one corner on the track. And that's probably just instantenous g force. ALL cars would register higher g-force than what is quoted on the skidpad. BIG DEAL.

Why so many threads about GTR on M3 forum??

The problem is, the M3 isnt one of them...and everyone gets butthurt.
Yeah a veyron, koniggegg (spelling?) is faster than a GTR. Its not the fastest thing out there, but its up there.

Apparently M3 owners like them...and have BOTH.
Do you ever read the titles for threads?

Sure you dont like the car, but performance junkies do...you like the badge of the M3.

The performance and price point..ill say this again..the PERFORMANCE and price points are the "big deal"..unless youve been living under a rock and dont know what the car can do, of course.

And youre upset that the gtr has "technology"? lol.

If u want a car that has NO drivers aids, why arent you driving a z06 vette or dodge viper..youll get EXACTLY what youre looking for....only..without the badge.

I don't though, nobody thinks that the m3 is the fastest car in the world. Many people on this form decided against the GT-R to get an M3, for the M3's merits, these merits seem to get lost in translation when the keyboard wars start.

The GT-R is an outstanding performance car, what more do you want me to say? The M3 is slower.

You're the man now dawg!

The GT-R is better than an M3?
Damn it, who typed the question mark on the teleprompter!?
