Looking for insight from Z owners who also own a GT-R

get the m3. you cant go wrong with bmw. that is without a doubt the funnest car ive ever driven. the z06 is fun but imo but no where near as nice as the bmw especially the interior. that is what i would have bought instead of the Z if i hadnt got such a great deal. but when the new twin turbo m3's come out i will definately be trading.

You can go fast with a Z06 or have a nice interior with the M3, but the M3 is a dog compared to a Z06 in the speed department just as much as the Z06 is made by Mattel as compared to the M3 in the interior department. They are two totally different cars. Posch 4-seater vs. spartan 2-seater. One is built for speed, the other comfort.

Great points. However, both a Z06 and the M3 will feel like dogs compared to my GT-R. So it really comes down to which one will be more liveable day to day. The M3 is a much better built car overall, but the Z06 is a great performer that actually gets damn good MPG at highway speeds.

The more I think about it, the more I think the choice gets narrowed down between a Z06 or M3. But a '11 Mustang GT also comes to mind, as I think it falls nicely in-between the two. Can't beat the price either...

I still want to drive a NISMO 370, but I can't find any for sale nearby at this moment.

I think the new 1 Series M that's coming out would be a more trackable/fun car than the M3. There's also the Boss Mustang.

I really like the Boss, but think the 1 Series is fugly.

I really like the new 5.0s and if I were building a track car on a new platform, it may be the way I would go. I just can't get beyond the fact that I pass 10 Mustangs between my driveway and the first 7-11. I know that when you are in the seat pushing a car none of that really matters. If they weren't a great value, they wouldn't be selling so many. It just bugs me.

Although not a NISMO, you are welcome to drive the roadster. I should have the Swift springs on in a few weeks, depending on my schedule.

even though they are all nice cars thats the only reason i would never get a mustang, camaro, or corvette is because they are all so common. i wouldnt want a car that 50 other people in my town already have.

obviously u dont think like me haha u have a mustang AND a camaro. and thats prob because most people will buy what they grew up knowing as a kid, they seen their parents driving mustangs, camaros, etc and they also see them EVERYWHERE so thats the first thing they look for when they are buying a car. its kinda like advertisements...people will buy something that they see all the time or that they hear about a lot before they go out and look for something different. people just want to fit in lol. why are you hanging out in a Z forum anyway? u must have realized that you bought the wrong car and youre thining about trading haha.

Well that sort of thing really depends on where you live. If you live in a wealthier neighborhood, you will see a lot more expensive cars and a BMW might be the car that everyone has.

thats true too, i didnt think of that haha. on the other hand i still think that u would see more mustangs, camaros, etc because they are more affordable.

he said he already had a car to go fast in if he wanted to. the m3 is a lot nicer imo than the z06 plus u dont see them nearly as often. if you think the m3 is a dog compared to the z06 look at youtube videos of m3's with a horsepower freaks turbo. it would bust any z06's ***.
