I would pick a m5 than the gtr.
Me too. But if acceleration numbers are your game, the M5 can't compete with the GTR.

Of course, a M5 is a lot more refined and, to me, tons better looking. But if I was 20 again, I'd probably get the GTR. But alas, I'm not.

It just depends on what one wants in a car.

I've only seen a few in STL so far. On my way to the airport yesterday I saw a black one, but I was in a cab, so no chance to pull along side for some gawking. I bet it's a thrill to drive.

I'm 16 and I would still get the M6 - Jet Black. Now THAT's a car!
The M6 has SO much class! Refined, aggressive, luxurious class.
