Yeah, well... when you start owning cars that cost much more... that's bound to happen, I guess.

 

I love the GT-R. But for my impoverished wallet, my step up will be the M56xS or the Lexus GS350 F Sport.

 

I am waiting for the 550 hp 2014 G37x IPL sedan. It would be the ultimate Infiniti with one thing that a GTR can never had a chance to beat -- 2 more doors.

 

I think you'll be waiting longer than 2014

 

If you spend much time on this forum you would think the next step would be an S4/M3, glad to see some folks have brains! Congratulations on your new DD! lol

 

What's wrong with an m3?

In terms of driving dynamics, I'd rate it way up there, and would seriously consider it over a gt-r for that reason. And I really like the gt-r...

Not interested in an s4 though. Boring drive.

 

Yeppers. The S4 is more of a step sideways than it is a step up. If people feel otherwise, then Audi marketing has done their job well. The M3, however... that would be a step up.

OK, where the heck is the OP and his magical GT-R? I'm starting to feel like everyone in this thread has been punked.

 

+1. Show us godzirra.

 

Makes you wonder; four posts three years ago and then a post to say "we" now own a GT-R...a little odd?

 

GT-R > M3 nuff said, plus I just like to get a rise out of people.

 

keepin it classy

 

A viper twin turboed will be my next car

 

Personal finances aside, all bets would be off on what I would be driving... if only I had a 3 car garage. As it stands, my hobby has to be my daily driver, and all the considerations that come into play with that constraint. Like winter, and driving the kids around, and getting up this huge hump of a driveway.

Reality is an inconvenient bucket of cold water.

 

I've been facing that same question, Rochester. The reality for me is, I'm tired of making compromises between comfort and performance, and to have both in the same car is, well, expensive.

Which is why I will probably buy out my current G37 lease since I got such a good deal on it, and get a BRZ next spring as my track junkie and weekend fun car. Comes out to about the same or less than a nice late-model M3, which is more expensive to maintain and definitely more expensive to track... and the only car I would consider next if I wanted an all-arounder.

 

What the use with all that power? I am saying cause with the G37, I barely touch the go pedal before having to break again, and I am not living in a crowd city at all. Good luck stretching a bit muscle in that Viper on any public road.
