Wraith, I'm with you on this. I've said before how that word winds me up since its a needless import from you-know-where. An M3 is an awesome machine, but constant comparisons about how it is "superior" is what leads to the "cock" label Clarkson levelled at M3 owners earlier. Thankfully, I agree with him that it is changing now.

Yes, the M3 is admittedly better than the IS-F on the road (on the track its even better than the C63) especially when specified with DCT, but it is not a remote patch on the GT-R. I watched and read many views on this but none more revealing than Chris Harris' views, a guy who knows a good bit about cars, owns an M3 and is openly biased towards it! What is it about in the end? Image or drive? If it is the German-built image, perhaps scrape of the "Datsun" and stick on a three-pointed star or something because it obviously drives better than the M3.

Sorry for the rant.....
