Maybe it's too late to say the GTR but i thought the GTR coulded be a little faster than that.
Thats not an exotic either, it's a racing car. A few road-going ones were built under homoligation rules.

I wish you guys give us some discussions about other exotics.
Yeah, About the M3 GTR, Ichecked the net and it is an exotic, not only a sports car
:? No new exotics? What do you mean, there's a new one every month for christ's sake...

And besides, can it be that much harder ti beat a Mclaren F1? Seroiusly though, that car was make over 10 years ago, and yet no car on the road today gets anywhere near it. So WTF?

I kinda expected it actually. The Veyron is just too heavy. You would have noticed that the Zonda F was more nimble at the hammerhead and gambon. Not forgetting, a car with such a heavy engine base would need tremendous amount of grip on corners. Let's also not forget about the radiators. ;)

I'm afraid Veyron is far from a track day car, IMO.

....which are completely pointless, as most of your discussions and arguments are based merely on a car's top speed, and NOTHING else, and that's not right. You need to do your homework buddy.

Mine is based on aesthetics and sound. Top speed won't really matter much in Singapore when the speed limit is only 50MPH (80KM/h). It just has to be striking and eye-catching. Lamborghini Gallardo SE has both, and that's why I love it so so much. ;)

I rid your post, I just wonna say that the whole thing gets different when you are in a long straight roads, But some places like Kuwait for example, Is so small and its streets are thight and not too long, That's why the fastest car you could find in Kuwait is a M3 GTR or maybe a Gallardo.

see the difference, :wink:

Which is a non-road legal racing car built to compete in GT3 racing, of which only a handfull of road-legal homoligations were built, most of which reside in Germany an ALL of which are not really much faster than a standard M3.
viper16 wrote:in the middle east practically any car is legal for road use
Which would be relavent if it was vaguely true, and any had been exported to the Middle East. Nigh-on all of them reside in the hands of German, Austrian, French, Swiss, British and American racing teams, and the road-legal ones almost all live in collections owned by wealthy men who never drive them.

Besides, vehicle regulations are quite strict in some Middle Eastern countries; not concerning maintainance, but concerning things like vehicle excise, import and taxation. You won't find a road-driven M3 GTR race car anywhere in the world.

Except Rockport, obviously, but whether or not that counts as part of the world is easily disputable :lol:

The closest you'd get to a street-legal M3 GTR race car is if you custom-fabricated a replica of the bodykit, slapped it onto a road-legal M3 CSL, and then dropped in an E39 M5 or E92 M3 V8 (which would actually be pretty cool if someone tried it).

Speaking of, I'm sort of liking the E36 M3 GT Coupe more and more these days.

It's sort of been done. The carbon-kevlar and CFRP kit for the E46 M3 (GTR Spec) is built by a company whose name slips my mind and is commercially avaliable, but the race cars are built on a modified Group N shell, which has many modifications which are very difficult to execute on a road car- not least the complete reconstruction of both front and rear suspention arms from aircraft-grade aluminium alloy.

The 4.0 V8 in it is a flate-plane engine with a 180° crank and potential for over 550bhp. Building a flat-plane crank engine for a road car is extremely difficult due to the fact they inherrently produce far more vibration and a less even idle than a 90° crank. However, similar outputs have been achieved with the 3.2 I6 with a supercharger bolted on, not to mention turbocharged 3.0 and 3.2 motors.

I'm not blind. I saw that.

You once said talking about an Ascari is, and I quote, "like, LOL?" This is a Cadillac, and it's not even an exotic. This is then the right time for me to say why are you talking about Cadillac? It's like, DOH??!
