Meh, not at all. M3 has always been 'destroyed' by others in sheer perfermance and costs. M3 doesn't need to be the fastest. 911 Turbo however always used to be the car to get if you wanted to be really fast, but had not enough money for a supercar...that's not the case anymore. Plus the fact that cars like C63 and M3 are much more practical than 911/GTR, with 4 proper seats. 911 and GTR however are of the same breed. I'm sure Porsche will make a better car than Nissan did with the Skyline, but at what cost? Surely it'll be extremely expensive again...

  | Re: [DR] GT-R v 911 PDK v Audi R8 v Aston Vantage 4.7 I called it on that hideously unergonomic and contrived looking gearchange switchgear on the steering wheel of PDK equipped cars months ago. Porsche what were you thinking? Some cars you ought to buy with an automated or sequential 'box vis a vis S85 M Cars, GT-Rs, Scuderias and 599s. Other cars you just mustn't have with anything other than a manual. Like an RS4, M3 or a 911. It's all about the benefits of the technology not detracting from the overall character of the car - a question of appropriateness if you will. All 4 cars are absolutely marvellous - even the Aston Martin.
