That's not quite how the math works. See post above.

Agreed I made a mistake there. Correcting it I get around 200 lbs added on the front and 100 lbs added on the rear vs the F80 using the official numbers. I guess that does qualify as “most of the weight”
Put a girl in the trunk and strap a man on the hood on your F80 and voila you got a G80... Last edited by solstice; 11-17-2020 at 03:24 PM.. |

UMMMM, I think you would buy a GTR for a road course also? That is if you don't want to be last all the time I agree, My GTR is my favorite car I ever had to look at. But, it's such a bad mother fucker.

Or buy a built used one for mid 90's and pretty much destroy anything on the road. If that's what you are aiming to do

The ‘wow’ factor in a GTR will always be much higher than a 3-series. On top of that, the GTR has broken records worldwide with quickest 60-130mph of 1.59s, YES 1.59S. It has the record for the fastest drift at over 300km/h. It runs mid 6s in the 1/4mile, there are 2000hp+ street machines with full interiors lol. Its a vicious performance car that can be docile.... anyways

The 911 and GTR are the sports cars that hold their value the best ->

Apparently bmw owners, half this thread has been about how the new m3/m4 will hit 9s with e85 etc, then the bmw owners started the comparison to the GTR. When the facts started coming out how the GTR has broken 60-130mph/drift records and has hit mid 6’s in the 1/4 when the f80 m3 is still in the 9s the focus moved from performance to poor sales etc lol....

i don't think this platform is going to be as tuneable for awhile as they'll likely get the new bosch ecus, i believe.
yes the x3m with s58 is tuneable but its still f series.. this is the new g series, lets see.

For me personally I can't get over 500 extra pounds, you can't tune that out. Losing 500 pounds is not easy. The weight alone is why I decided against the M5. I like cars that handle well more so then cars that are fast in just a straight line. If I wanted straight line speed I'd buy a Tesla, but try driving that tank around a track.
It seems that BMW is going the American car route in which a car is fast around a track because its fast in the straights. Even German suspension magic, sticky rubber and HP can't beat physics. All depends on what you are after and what you enjoy out of a vehicle. |

Never realized so many M3 owners lived their lives a quarter mile at a time

Poor sales because the M3 can't keep up with the GTR's uber drift records? It's more likely poor sales because people are moving away from high performance sports cars and moving towards SUVs and trucks as well as more economical and affordable options. There's an umbrella of reasons why people aren't buying the M3 in the same numbers as F-150s, but it has nothing to do with the GTR. Last edited by Jacky Treehorn; 12-03-2020 at 07:56 AM.. |
