Hiya,

found this video of one of the first GTR-35 imports into Australia doing a great stock 1/4 mile time.

I resigned to the fact that, no matter what car(s) I own during my life, there will always be a Datsun that's faster.

Was that other car even trying?

After ive had my M-sports 335 for a year, i will definately upgrade to the GTR. V-SPEC

Motor magazine put the M3 up against the C63 and LS7 CSV GTS thingie in next months issue.

C63 came out on top!

I cant get any accurate info on pricing, the $139,500 price sounds good on paper but I suspect it will end up very close to the M3 price when you spec it in a similar way.

They were quite impressed with the C63s steering and chassis which flies in the face of many reviews I have seen so far.

I think its bang for your buck performance. I mean it costs around 30k cheaper then the M3. I also quite like the aggressive look that the c63 has. If i was patient bloke i would have paid 15k more and got myself a black c63.

I think he meant "a black C63" not "a C63 Black Series"

C63 is priced $17,500 less than the M3 but there has not, to my knowledge, been any release of specifications...The M3 could easily be $17,500 cheaper if it came specced as the base US M3 is.
