Skyline vs M3.

[JimX]

No, nothing to do with racing, just head-turning I was behind an M3 last night in heavy traffic going towards the city. At one point on the side of the road was a bunch of guys standing around talking. One of them looked my way and pointed, and the whole group all had a good look at my car as it went past. I didn't notice any of them pay any attention to the M3!

jimx: is ur skyline modified? heavily?

Cuz id look at a modified skyline over a stocky M3..(not many ppl modify their M3 ...cept sum hehe)

But wouldnt you say that "young" ppl stare at skylines more than Bm's n stuff...

neways maybe that lets you know why u got the looks...im glad you got the looks heheeh sucked in to the guy who spent $100K hehehe

i don't think he'd care for some reason.

sorry to break up your party but looks isn't what it's all about. i'd rather have the m3 over any gtst or gtr anyday of the week.

well said

hmmmmmmm....

i'd prefer an E46 M3 over any GTR...

i'd prefer an R34 GTR over any E36 M3

and come to think of it....

nah, id get an E46 M3 over an R34 GTR - close but!

[JimX]

Who cares who'd rather have what or which car is better? If it was about speed or even lap times around Eastern Creek, my TLR would probably ownz0r the M3 anyway, but who really cares? I never said my car was better than an M3, and I never said the M3 sucked. All I was talking about was a bit of attention my car got, which made me feel a little special. That's all. I'm allowed to have that aren't I?

Soopamarcus, my car's not externally visually any different from stock (well, unless you count the FMIC and 3" exhaust). It does have a T04 turbo and Apexi pod in it though, which makes for some cool induction noises. That could have been what made the first guy turn his head in the first place.

:lol:

settle down mate, i was just pointing out to soopermarcus that the driver of the m3 prolly didn't care about what others think of his cars looks. if he did he, at 100k you can buy yourself a damned better looking car than the m3.

anyhoo, everyone loves that bit of attention you get with the skyline. i'm glad you enjoyed it and i'm sure you'll get more of it in the future.

jim,

you made it quite clear to me that you did care who'd have what car and which car is better when you pointed out "...didn't notice any of them pay any attention to the M3! ..."

i'm merely illustrating that the bunch of guys who obviously envied you and your skyline over the M3 was a small and somewhat inaccurate sample set of the population who would otherwise look at an M3 over a Skyline...

but, you probably have a very nice example skyline and obviously a very fast track car and im not denying any of that - and agree that the skyline does attract a certain crowd....

No, I really don't care It's not like I would have been insulted if they had looked at the M3 and not my car, it wasn't even something I was thinking about beforehand. It just surprised me, I wasn't expecting it, and just something I thought I'd write a post on because I got a bit of a big head over it. I've gone from owning a loud V8 VS Commodore the past 4 years, where the only looks you get are "where the hell is that obnoxious noise coming from?"

No one's meant to take this to heart, not even the guy who owns the M3! I know he has the more expensive/better car.

[XrSiSt]

JimX, i know what you mean.. I think everyones just over it.

Don't take it to heart. Don't worry, they were at your stage once.

Glad to see your happy with your car, isn't that what matters? :uh-huh:

[soopamarcus]

uh-oh.....here we go again

rahahahahaha

George,,When a new model is released,,,we use an intra-net posting site to post all problems before the cars are released to the public and afterwards,,,,I can't post any here. I can give one little tit-bit though,,,,When my wife did BMW,,,,one of the 1st E36 318i's came to this country with only one rear shock.....Now that quality control.....
