Only a person who knows only too well first hand about the car. I do not under any circumstance speak down on the car. It is a fabulous performer, and sub 2 min car at my track. Suggest you may wish to take two asprins, and re read the thread in the morning.....

end of story. just wanted to share..lol

Nice job on the GT-R! That was my same feeling with the M3 after my GT-R test drive. You will enjoy the GT-R, just don't get tangled in Nissan's red tape of ownership, warranty, etc...

bimmerj · 11-23-2011, 07:37 PM

A bit funny with the M3 crowd! M3 and luxury do not go together. I drive a C63, I drove an M3. Do not compare what is not comparable.

Batman · 11-23-2011, 08:07 PM

Thanks guys! im loving the car. haha. man so stressful in the morning..deciding which car to drive to work...HAHA..sorry.....
anyways, imma keep the GTR stock. but im pretty sure the mod bug will bite me sooner or later haha.
but saving up some monayy for a supercharger for the m3 woot woooot!
i still like my m3 better~ yeee haha

Damn straight! That video was awesome. Don't think anyone here is disputing the quickness of the GT-R, they're usually some of the fastest I've seen around track, just that it can be costly to due so, that's all. I'll keep my M3, thank you

Coming from one that owns a car that has a toaster pop up Nav and a dash board that looks and feels more like a chalkboard.

An M3 has far better build quality than a C63 and a GT-R.. That's fact.

Dude - how long you going to hang around the M3 forum? MBWorld is >>>>>

And, if you think the car is expensive, just wait until you go to have it serviced after a mechanical issue at the track

Ask Martin D, he has quite a laundry list.

Will agree, it is fast.

Jealous much?

If not, what on earth would possess a normal human being to write this note.

Oh right. It's the Internet so you don't have to worry about being punched in the face because you're a jerk.

Sheesh.

Yo Bruce. Chill the #$% out. So you would punch someone in the face for giving an opinion on a damn car. You must be a gem of a person.

The simple fact is Von is not bashing the car. He is speaking from the experience of a friend of ours who actually knows how to drive and push a car to its limit.

It's not about jealousy. Von could have any car he wanted on the track I am sure.

That's funny.

But seriously, the GTR is an incredible machine. I was lucky enough to ride along for a few laps in a Cobb'ed GTR with slicks this past summer. Good god almighty...

Congrats OP -- that's an awesome combination of vehicles.

No way that car is stock, That is not what a stock GT-R sounds like. Exhaust mods on turbo cars net huge gains, do not discount them.

+2. I'll be one of the first people to call a troll out. I thought his post was on topic an informative. Congrats on the GT-R too. That vid was amazing. I know it's not OP's car, but damn. Not an M3!

My guess is that you don't know squat about the car in question - just someone's experience with an earlier model.

And in fact you did "speak down" on the car. Read your own damned (and unsolicited) note.

I'd like to see an objective link to prove that "fact".
My BMWs have had way more problems than my Mercs or my GTRs.
