But it just doesn't have that wow factor (looks wise) like Ferrari, Lambo etc.

Head 100% would say 911, heart would say another exotic. I'd probably end up with the Ferrari and sell it in a year with Kenny saying 'I told you so' :P

Wonder if the Audi R8 is any better?

R8 V10 OM NOM NOM

i've seen 3 in person, cruising by...

i've also heard a couple of murci's, gallardos, F430's that sort of thing.. and sure they all scream as they should... but the V10 R8 is something special of it's own..

AlpineM3E92 and RaihaX... you guys are evil.

If I get new rims I need tyres.... then those tiny brakes need to be replaced because they look stupid.... and i'll need a drop so new coils as well.

Then I have to spend more $$ on POWA to utilise all the above.

If you guys start seeing human organs on ebay you know where its comming from! on a serious note, ive spent way beyond my limit.... im trying to save money for a future.

I will join you in selling my Kidney so we can have a GTR together !

[BBK]

Alpine, couldn't you afford one of these anyway?

[Alpine*]

BBK, affordability in this instance is irrelevant to me I'm affraid. I appreciate that this has become the R35 LOVE THREAD, but sorry, truly I am, but I will never buy one. My next car will be.. maybe, a GT3 997 series II.

In all honesty I haven't took any pictures of the Godzilla yet. This should be no surprised since the first pictures I took of my 135i was the ones used to sale the damn thing!

I'll try to organise a professional shoot sometime. Its going to stay stock so it wont be to interesting anyway!

How about a 991? I still think the new rear looks stupid but from the reviews it seems like a fantastic car. I like the GT3 or even a GT2 if you can afford one!

Let's make a deal. I'll send over a crate... fill it with all your 135 mods... In return I'll send you some left over parts from the Queen Street GTR do you like candy red? hehehe

After driving an m3 and not quite being happy, I've been debating trading the 135 for this for a few days....

Really should just pay off the mortgage, but you only live once right??

Sounds like a Ferr-onzi scam

That's a mad car! It interesting, I've always wanted an M3 but this weekend I drove a 2011 911 Carera S. It didn't thrill me acceleration wise but such a fantastic car with awesome handling. It's the first Porsche I've ever driven and I can see why others here own something like this. I drove an M3 straight after and in comparison it felt like a sloppy boat. Such a shame, I was really expecting more from the M3.
I'm testing a 991 next weekend, I love the look of the new shape.

For those who have owned, driven, tested an M3 and 1M, what are your thoughts? I've decided an M3 is now too soft for my liking, is the 1M more raw?
Thus far, it seems a 911 is exactly what I'm after.
