GT-R for speed (and speed tickets )
Z4 35i for class and decent performance (but no one will scare of you until you show your go kart skills)
e46 M3 for value (but you will be joined by a bunch of Mongkok racer wannabe who can't afford a GT-R)

My friend who had a Ferrari 599 took a GTR for weekend long test drive here in HK. He says that compared to his 599 it is just as fast, if not faster and can take corners MUCH better BUT the only problem is that its a Nissan!!!

He cannot accept driving a Nissan, so in the end he didnt buy it....!

only 2 fingers!!!

ok thought you guys would slam me, but unlike Capt 16, i have prepared the response,
my gear is in the aeroplane as we speak, i hope to have all the gear on my F16 fighter mid March

might change to Derrick 2 license plate!!
if anyone has any drawing of any splitter/side splitter, diffuser etc,. pls forward to me so i can get inspiration for it to be made up to a real one and slapped on.

Thanks for your advise
And you have pointed out the truth if i get the M3, and i dont wanna be those MK racers for sure
Sounds i should wait for the 2nd hand Z4 as they will depreciated faster than GT-R

If he can afford a 599, Nissan certainly will be too cheap for him.
GT-R is a poor man supercar

He then wrote off his car when a truck hit the side of his car.... he now has a Quattroporte instead and has a driver to drive him around. He is 25 yrs old.
