The BMW M3 wouldn't exactly be the cheapest cars to maintain either. You also got to pay a "gas-gusslar" tax as well with its abysmal 14/20 mpg. Still the cost of ownership for both the Mercedes C63 AMG and BMW M3 would pale in comparison compared to a GT-R's, especially if you drive it like it was designed for. This is one of the reasons for why the Porsche Cayman would be my first choice. I don't need a daily driver that's any quicker than the Cayman S's 4.4 0-60 / 12.8@110mph quarter. It's beautifully balanced, extremely well built, very efficient and one of the all time best driver's car in the world. I'd actually probably just get the ~ 51K 265hp (5.1 0-60 / 13.7@103 quarter) base model which is just as fun but roughly 10K less. God blessed me with a larger than life genitalia (slight exaggeration) so no need to try to compensate for an inadequacy. I'd of course get the LSD/ sport chrono package, etc so the price would be closer to 60K. It's still going to be about 10K than the S with the same options. I may get one some 5 years down the road after I'm ready to try in my likely next car / BRZ. Then again, who the hell knows WTF is going to happen from now and 5 years.... --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?43i1rt Last edited by vo2max99; 04-22-2012 at 02:28 AM. |
