it is very, seeing it IRL is pretty cool, it is huge but once your in it, that perspective changes. It's surprisingly useful as a daily driver to, and about 100k second hand

Probably the GT-R but it'd be an extremely close one and I'd be thinking almost daily of that 6.2L V8.

just get a hsv for a fraction of the price

I'd rather have haemorrhoids.
EDIT: I'll qualify the statement by saying that I definitely prefer the FG FPVs and any Mustang. Even then M3/M4/C63 will win over those as well.

lol can i ask why such the great hate against australian/us cars?

I actually really like American muscle (my favourite muscle car being the Superbird and my favourite sportscar being the '63 Vette split window) and even then I think HSV is overstyled. If they took the ridiculousness down a notch I'd would seriously consider ownership. For example, I'm really not a fan of the bumpers in a current gen HSV whereas I quite liked the original series VE HSVs.

Would be forever disappointed that it doesn't have HSV bits in it.

The cost would be so prohibitive that I may as well buy an M3/C63!!!

Exactly haha, I've thought about this stuff long and hard...and bought a Subaru lol. At the end of the day, if I wanted a true supersaloon in that sort of performance class my preference would be the E92/F30 M3/M4. They do what I want them to do and I wouldn't mind paying for the privilege. As much as I do love muscle cars (used to race them in fact), they're simply a little too blunt for the type of driving I enjoy. Horses for courses, I love cornering more than straight line speed
@Astro What do you make of the 1M?

mmhm not really sure, it went out of production so maybe something wasn't right?? But imo, the numbers look good on paper, and overall the car is great, but i'd rather spend my cash on a brand new m235i or just save for a m3

It went out of production because it was brought in super late in the original 1 series product cycle and was phased out pretty quickly. The M235i is supposed to be softer but a little quicker overall.

haha 'softer' i guess with some tuning and mods it could be made more 'M'It went out of production because it was brought in super late in the original 1 series product cycle and was phased out pretty quickly. The M235i is supposed to be softer but a little quicker overall.
