e90 or e92 M3 would make an absolutely great DD. Not many better in my opinion. Have you driven one?

Utter BS. You haven't been on M3F to see the days when Art was around and he would hate on the badge and the 'supposed' performance specs. The guy was delusional but tons of members who are still around today, hated on the GTR & called it rice. Now that its been shown to be a true performer, calling it rice has bee substituted with the its not fun/involving/driver's car excuses.
Wolfe - Have you ever driven a GTR? I'm going to guess like the majority of M3F, you have not had any seat time in one because some of the crap you listed above is just that...crap.NSX-GT3
Great feedback - Check (GTR-Astoundingly numb) - lol yet MotorTrend had the GTR in its 'Best Driver's Car Contender 2011' article where the car was said to have great feedback

Small, low center of gravity - Check (GTR-Huge, tall, designer wants it to be heavy, his words) - I thought this was about center of gravity, not weight? I would assume that if the GTR had a 'huge, tall' center of gravity, it wouldn't be as fast as it...
Minimal electronics to aid driver - Check (GTR-) - The GTR has the same amount of aids the 911 Turbo has, yet the 911 Turbo is never bltched about.
Usable, proportionate hp - Check (GTR-King of paper) - Umm what does this even mean?
Attractive, functional design - Check (GTR-) - Subjective
Even EVO magazine ranked the GTR over the new 991 911 in their recent 911 vs Rivals article.
Why should a GTR thread always turn into a pissing match between those who like the GTR and those who do not. Why continuously ruin a thread? You honestly do not make any sense with the last comment.
Hate the GTR all you want but don't go into threads regarding the GTR and ruin it for those who like the car.
Sadly, this cannot be said for the guys on M3Forum.
It's a great car for DD. I just drove an ESS s/c'd M3 and that is extremely fun. It almost makes me want an E92 over an E46 again.
I'm here for the lovefest. I'll have an NSX one day...I've been saying that for too long already.
I can guarantee that you will not miss your M3 that much. The only things I miss about mine would be
1.) cup holders
2.) xenon's
3.) not having people take pictures of you in traffic/drawing attention/looking like an asshole
4.) steering wheel (I prefer the M's better)
5.) blueteeth
And I really really loved my M3's as well. Obviously I think if we didn't have a '10 TSX for practicality I would miss the M3 much much more. But overall those few items have not outweighed how much more I enjoy driving it, hard to explain but it is incredible.
lol
depending on what year nsx you got . they have cup holders but they suck lol and the 2002+ had factory hids
anyways you can do a retro fit s2000 or even tsx on your pop lights imo they look good and shine great, or just get the aftermarket hid kit in the vendor market
i drove a 2008 e90 briefly,really liked it.i'm going to have it checked out and drive it some more,and am thinking about it seriously if it checks out well at the dealer.
I really try to limit the amount of aftermarket crap. I probably will breakdown and get some sort of retrofitted HID solution though.
I did have some sort of weird spring loaded cup holder but it was essentially worthless and I threw it in a bin.
I guess the point I was making was that I lost a few creature comforts and daily driverish things, but it doesn't outweigh.

Wow, something we agree on.

Great feedback - Check (GTR-Astoundingly numb) - lol yet MotorTrend had the GTR in its 'Best Driver's Car Contender 2011' article where the car was said to have great feedback I disagree big time. The car is very stable and confidence-inspiring at speed, but great feedback(?) - I disagree.

I would assume that if the GTR had a 'huge, tall' center of gravity, it wouldn't be as fast as it... I do not like the feel of heavy cars. Never did, never will.
Minimal electronics to aid driver - Check (GTR-) - The GTR has the same amount of aids the 911 Turbo has, yet the 911 Turbo is never bltched about. I have never talked about the 911 Turbo.
Usable, proportionate hp - Check (GTR-King of paper) - Umm what does this even mean? It means hp that is usable, proportionate to it's weight. i.e., a 2500 lb. car with 220hp is a blast. A 2500 lb. car with 650hp is not usable hp IMO, some may disagree. Not to sound cliché, but a super fast car is not especially fun to drive on the street... if you want to somewhat try to obey any traffic laws.
Attractive, functional design - Check (GTR-) - Subjective Agree
Alright, I digress. I have cluttered this thread up enough already. Can we agree to disagree?

We can always agree to disagree.
My only issue is with how often those who hate the GTR feel the need to ruin GTR threads on M3F. If you hate it, then don't post. I hate all the nut-huggin that goes on in OT for Porsche's, but I don't post in every thread to remind those who love the cars how ridiculously over-priced they are and how the GTR trounces them in performance tests.
You brought up the GTR, not us.
Sparrow, once again trying to dig up arguments out of thin air.
I brought it up because its a Japanese car. Many of those guys will outright hate on anything JDM and call it rice, which is why I'm surprised its been a lovefest.
As for you, do you really want to rehash your racist remarks?
All I can say is I love M3's and that I wish Jack Sparrow would never post on this forum again.

Which actually makes a lot of sense in my opinion. They share many of the attributes that make a car special (to that type of driver). One car is just more focused as a sports car and one is more focused as a DD or as a practical track car. IMO, it's hard to love one and hate the other unless you have an agenda against Japan or Germany.
Mr. Wolfe
Japan, Germany, Italy. Those Axis powers sure know how to make their cars.
Its a lost historical fact, but their enthusiasm for quality automobiles was the primary reason they all banded together, world domination was just a happy coincidence they had in common.
The British, Russians & Americans removed that from the history books so they didn't have to be reminded how lousy they are at building cars.
Really? They wanted to take over the world because they all shared enthusiasm for quality automobiles? Was japan producing cars in the late 30s?
Its built by the Czech Republic - they were under German occupation during WWII.
I was thinking of the same thing too.
I'd take a Mclaren F1 GT over anything from the axis powers. Nowdays USA cars are alot more palatable.

I wouldnt exactly call it a love fest
90% of the posts are by mr. Wolfe and one other member one that site.
I am a member of m3forum.net and I have a few post on that thread but to call that thread a love fest is a bit of a stretch since most post are by the same two people lol
