    Ferrari would have the same soul with a 450hp 6800rpm 3.4 liter turbo car wouldn't they. An NSX-R would be so much fun without 8500rpm. The F40 was good, but they walked away from forced induction for a reason. Yawn.

    On a side note..with new technology, variable turbo's etc. the "fun factor" in turbo cars is getting better...In a 335 it's hardly noticeable and sounds mean, but it's there. Rumor has it BMW is working on high revving turbo cars for production M's. We'll see.
    That's truth that I have never been on a track. I have only owned a turbo'ed 240sx and the highest revving car I ever driven is the new Si, but I am not here to say which is better. I am just making a statement for those people saying driving a GTR is like playing playstation. If you pick one sentence out of an essay and say it is false, it always works. My point is that if you want to be involved in driving a "real" car, drive a car from the 60's. No abs, t/c, whatever. There are enough crap in both M3 and GTR that drives the car rather than you drive it. That's my point.

    Not everybody, including me, lives a life where you can try all kinds of cars on a track. I work my ass off putting my SR'ed S14 together, wishing one day I could see what I can do with it on the track. But time have not yet come.

    So you like high revving engined cars, so be it. May be it is for you, but I stand by my favorite as of right now- turbo. With what you said about me, even I went to the track today and try a turbo and a high revving car, I would still say the turbo car is more fun. But maybe fun will change over time.

    And I hate what you say about the F40 and NSX. F40 is a road version of the Ferrari's F1 car, which was turbo'ed at the time. NSX is not really credit at its engine. It is the way it handles. I love both of these cars, and what you wrote just does not make any sense to me.

    The car I would love to drive on a track right now is a Super 7. No driving aids, pure driving ability.

    M3, GTR, F40, NSX, whatever. I love all these cars, but not for the same reasons.

    Maybe I should put it this way:

    Between the GTR and the M3
    If you want to have fun on the track, drive the M3. If you want to win on the track, drive the GTR.
