I got a close friend that was going to trade in his Caymen S for a new M3 or GTR. The guy even let me drive the M3 to see my opinion of the car. The new M3 is SICK!!!! Feels Very Powerful, Handles Great, and Comfortable as hell!

All really Depends on what you plan on doing with it. Plus dont know what the GTR will actually be capable of until its released.

yeah very valid point. I really like the new M3 but id really have to sit in a new GTR to see what its like.

Is there any known US Release? I heard we are getting a very limited production

The R34 might be my favorite car, but for reliability purposes might go with the new one.

its going to be an 08' GTR by a landslide.. Only issue is they are sold out of 60% of the 09's already so youll be paying a premium to get one any way you look at it..

As for me, i am going to enjoy whipping their ***.. Nothing is going to **** a GTR owner off more than another dinky $20k Awd Car laying a can of whoop ***.. if you think the z06's in miami get mad wait til you see a skyline owners face.. LOL

IF you can get a new GTR for the MSRP, or close to it. Get it. If it is gonna cost 100k plus... Get something else.

yeah maybe sticker for the 2nd 1/2 of production of 09's.. And still they will get a premium of 10-15k.. They got premiums on evo X's and they werent even presold.. the GTR is sold out in 08' and within a few months theyll sell out all '09'..

given your choices, the new GTR would be most logical. new M3 is a waste, r34 is overpriced + u will have problems getting it registered or even finding parts if it breaks (Yikes). Cobb took their GTR & made 502whp just by adding catback, hi-flow cats, & removing the speed limiter

Yep and haltech already ran 11.0 with the car just by plugging in their ecu and adding 4psi.. all stock exhaust, bone stock car.. It will be a monster for sure..

If you got the money, get a GTR. I bet bolt on's and a tune would make more power than your current evo.
