If all you care is for numbers then this car is for you. But if you want a car that is beautiful and fast then this is not the car. I would much rather buy a 911 base model than this SuperRicer.
I hope more people are like you! Please stay away from rice dealers!

Nice post... that was a good read.

I'm really excited about this car, but at the same time I can handle the fact that its only available in an auto... it breaks my heart.

Neither does Nissan if the car weights 37xx pounds. Our cars are lighter than that ffs. Also, I'd complain that the interior isn't a true sports car interior because it's far too crowded. A true sports car wouldn't have navi, no buttons, knobs or switches like that (it'd always run balls to the wall). Basically a steering wheel, gauges and 3 pedals (another reason it's not a true sports car).

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that if they go true sports car route that interior is horribly overcrowded. If they go modern sport/luxury (ala Porsche, BMW, et. al.) the interior is terribly low quality. The interior isn't good by either standard of measure so I conclude that it sucks.

I bought the 335, cos it is a good lookign car, drives beautifully, is fast, comfortable and has a pretty decent interior.

Its a combination of multiple things.

for that price you can get a gt-r + 335 because that's how much a gt3 costs. I love the gt3 though.

This is not a ricer car. When posers try to make their cars look like gt-r, that's rice. If the performance #'s are true, there is no way that a m3 can keep up in a straight line or in the turns. 7:35 in Nordschleife is crazy fast.

To me the m3 looks just as ricey as the gtr with the huge hood bulge. Performance wise it will kill an m3 or modded 335i. I probably still wouldn't get one though. Waiting for the RS5.

The beltline just looks.. (input your opinion here)

Overall - typical Ricer crap.

Would never ever even consider it against a 911.



Overall - typical ignorant post.

^^haha, so true. It seems that there are some people on here that are heard-headed. It must suck for them when they finally realize that german cars aren't always the best.

The next post about Japanese, I mean ricer-maker, cars will read something like this:

ATTN: "Japanese = ricer (This holds true no matter what the car looks like. It doesn't matter what the car is capable of. Remember this, and tell everyone you know this is a fact)."



*To any people of Asian descent, sorry, but many people think your ALL of your cars are nothing more than "rice".*

haha, it's true. People are so ignorant and will always have prejudices for any country's auto manufacturer.

I usually don't like getting into these kinds of post, but since i'm japanese, i gotta interject.

Let those people suffer. They'll be paying more for a car that is slower in a straight line and in the curves...and they claim that all they care about is performance and performance != japanese rice.

Japanese cars have always been top notch. Americans have troubles with their styling maybe and the fact that they're badge whores. If they get a M3, it's cool. Gives them status. Makes their penises magically grow. If you're honest and open, you'll admit that right now, the leading car manufacturer in the world is.....Toyota. From......well I'm sure you can all figure it out.

By the way, I dont believe that the prejudices are only for a countries auto manufacturer. I think its more than that. Sad.
