I understand the appeal of light and nimble, but having re-tried heavier lower and high horsepower I have a newfound appreciation for it - for street driving a really planted car with with easy to access oomph feels great and can be also be a joy in the twisties. Light and high revving can be very fun, don't get me wrong I know that, but being more effected by street surfaces/easier to upset and having to reach into the revs for power is not always what I want - a solid fantastic handing balanced car with instant grunt as needed sounds pretty good to me

 

Saw some GTR stuff today that is very promising, so far reviews and accounts of people driving it seem to conclude it is a fun potent package - powerful and handles great.

One good lil write-up here:

Vid reviews on Fifth Gear and Autocar loved it (and in the Autocar comparo it shows how it is in another class from the M3 - who's brakes fade and eventually give up - and the guy concludes it is overall on par with the GT3).

I"m happy to see another great car on the market - it may not be the prettiest curviest car, but neither is the M3 IMHO. Long live the auto enthusiasts and innovation

But the best GT-R video of all, previously posted by Rossii (watch for the 20 second mark):

 

 

Between the M3 and teh GTR if I had my pic and had the money I would go with the GTR I am waiting for another record breaking lap at Nurburgring Nordschleife

 

GTR hands down! no questions ask!

 

I am a fan of the the 350 Z. Its my second car. I think its better than a Porsche. Nisssan as dealership is the worst I have ever seen. But the quality is there, and the price is right. 35O Z with super chargee, 450whp.
