the m3 needed a new whatever....
Fairly young guy that I work with (sort of) has car ADD. He had the GTR, a 2010 750il, a 2010 f350 4x4 dually, and just bought his girlfriend a new Denali.
He's looking at new boats (big ones) so the gtr had to go. I got it for like $17k off sticker.

Not taking anything away from the GTR but I was offered the keys to a GTR and asked if I wanted to take it out for a spin last Friday night... I turned it down. Looking back at it, I think I should have taken those keys!
I did get a ride in that beast a couple of months ago...

You got some rich friends haha, especially that guy that buys a new covette every 18 months!!!!!!

Man I hope in the future I can do things like this.
Thoughts after one week.
Styling: One of those really subjective things of course. Silver probably wouldn't have been my first choice but it has really has grown on me. I really like how massive the car is, definitely has a presence about it. People always say how it looks like a z or whatever in pictures but when you see it on the road, not a z. What I would expect that car to look like.
Engine: Shits and gets. Never owned a car before that accelerates like this from a dig. The first 60 feet are just awesome. Tried the launch control once but just flooring it from a a slow roll is almost as good. Gearbox can be whatever you want as far as shifting speed. In auto, I like the way I can hear it shift down as it I come to a stop. Revmatching in manual is awesome.
Interior. Quality seems pretty good. Seats in my M3 were WAAYYYY better imo. I can't believe a car stickering this much doesn't have memory seats. Stereo is pretty good, nav and other gadgets are nice.
Suspension and brakes: Rougher than my M3 but that was expected. Not TOO bad on comfort setting. Steering feel is good but BMW wins that one. One thing that is bothering me is that the steering wheel is a little off from center when going straight. The GT-R tech at the dealer has aligned it 3 time and says the ailgnment is perfect but the steering wheel is still 2 degrees or so to the left. I'm gonna bring it to another dealer or a specialty shop this week to see what's up. Brakes are awesome, of course.
One thing that I was not prepared for was the attention that this thing gets. I thought by now the car has been out for a while that would have died down. A little hottie in a IS 250 almost swerved into me yesterday while trying to take a pic.
