you pick: GT-R or M3 or RS4

okay if each of you guys or ladies had the money to buy one of the follow which would it be:
option 1: a new Nissan GT-R 6 cylinder twin turbo
option 2: new BMW M3 (2 door or 4 door doesn't matter)
option 3: this is kind of the wild card of the bunch a new Audi RS4

what would you pick. why?

I personally would pick the GT-R. the styling for now(until the next generation vette hits) is unique. plus the All wheel drive and computer system(tells you your 1/4 mile time and all the other crap) on board is cool as hell too.

we should have a poll on this one.

my vote goes to GT-R, it's fast and unique. you don't see a base version of GT-R like 3 series or A4

GT-R though I feel like there is a bit too much technology in the car that detracts from the raw driving feel that can be felt in a Vette or similar car... but the GT-R is

Where's the poll?

Of those three, I'd pick the GT-R, despite not liking the looks of it too much. However, I'd rather have a Vette convertible.

Have you driven any of these cars? How do you know which are better to drive?

In that price range of new car I would go with a Cayman S over any of the choices you listed.

It depends. If I track my car then GT-R gets the nod. For daily driving, the M3 is more suitable.

tough call for me. I think the GTR is probably the "best" car of the bunch, and definitely the most unique looking.

I think the M3 coupe looks the best, but it would probably be the most common, and dare I say boring, as it still looks pretty much like a 3 series.

I agree, I would need to test drive them. I know I wouldn't use ANY of the performance any of these cars are capable of, so I might just go with the one that I think looks the best and is more luxurious (ie. m3). But honestly if I had that kinda cash lying around, I don't think I could pass up the 'legendary' performance, and uniqueness of the GTR, even if it is 'just' a nissan.

in the end though, i'd probably go w/ crazy and get 2 cars (maybe one of them an NSX)

Z06 followed by M3 than GTR. But I would pick a new or fairly used C2 or C2S before all of them.

Have you ever driven one? Granted neither have I, but what I've heard from car reviews that it doesn't feel that way at all.

I'd take the GT-R as well btw.

GT-R looks =
GT-R performance =

I couldn't park that thing in my driveway every day... I'd take a C63, M3, Z06 or an RS4 (in that order)

The other 2 cars dont even compete with the GT-R. Better question is Porsche Turbo, Z06, GT-R? My answer is Porsche Turbo. If you think GT-R, its because youve never sat in a Turbo.

Out of those three I'd pick the RS4. Mainly because I don't care if the car has the best hp/torque numbers out there. I'd want something that I want to drive on a daily basis that offers utility and great performance. On that note, if it was the RS4 Avant, it'd be absolutely perfect! Also, out of those three, I think the RS4 looks the best, interior and exterior, both sedan and avant.
