honestly dude, its good to have american and foreign car. if i was you i would want a feel for everything and not just buy all foreign. go with a Z06 or viper. don't get a m3... think about how much more BA a viper or Z06 looks over any bmw. the huge v8 sound and how low both the viper and z06 sit to the ground... think about it the m3 is such a pussy car compare to a Z06 or viper

It really comes down to what he plans to do with it. For a track car, the Z is perfect. Plenty of power and parts are relativelly affordable to replace. The ZO6 is in the "same league" as the GTR. Performance wise, he already has a supercar. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind a Vette in my driveway, but a Lotus would be my choice.....

If I had deep pockets and already had a GTR, I'd look for a one of my all time favorite cars, the Porsche 356 speedster.

i see your point. BUT a Z06 is one hell of a car to mod. you can do A LOT with that car. its light weight, comes with a hell of a engine. LS7 v8. which with a few bolt ons can produce great gains. thats what i would do

Well, I wouldn't all the GT-R "lightweight", as it weighs 3,900 lbs...but I do like the idea of mixing it up.

Good points, bro. There's nothing like the feel and sound of a nasty V-8 or V-10 when you're in the mood for it.
