Apex 693 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 True, the Nissan costs 50k less and didn't use the launch control and the BMW didn't have 5 men in their 60's with golf clubs aboard! Maybe they should use the M6, both are flagship coups? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish 30 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 These are two different class cars. I would think, they would have to compare GTR and M3 to get a fair comparison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Agree its a mismatch one has two doors and AWD, the other is RWD and has 4-doors, but both are the respected manufacturers flagships and fastest cars both manufacturers offer, both are twin turbo and both cost near the same in mother England, both are very heavy and very big. Whats scary is that the Nissan is 6 years old and the BMW is brand new... its the same old argument though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to see a test between the GTR and this 20 year old Renault I wonder which will win?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 ^^ haha aren't the older f1 cars faster than today's f1? emissions, regulations and the flat bottom thing?Not really, but the FW14 does have active suspension so it is one of the fastest F1 cars of that era Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaneg 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2012 How many years was the gtr in development for? Sure the m5 has a lot of development too but the gtr was purposefully built to out perform the 911 porsche. And i can imagine a lot of money got put into it, do they even make a profit on it? i.e veyron. Watched some of the r&d videos testing at suzuka etc. Oh and the m5... not liking the styling, the e60 looks a lot nicer. V10 all the way, could potentially be a keeper, just like the e34 m5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats scary is that the Nissan is 6 years old and the BMW is brand new... its the same old argument though. But you would still think that BMW M5 if a family saloon car for spirited drivers and R35 GTR is a sport coupe for racing. I mean how many M5s do you see in professional race series? Probably none. How many GTRs? That is a very different question. I would want to see new GTR vs E92 M3 CSL Both had similar production date as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
