In my opinion GT-R performance wise is in a different league than M3/M4, C63 or RS5. Neither car can touch GT-R for out right performance.

I am not so sure myself if M4 is gonna give that much of a different flavor than highly modified N54 335i. It will be better in some areas for sure but the flavor will be too similar I think for my taste specially given the price of an M4 might wait for M2 as it might be lighter and bit more hardcore. Thus, for now going C7 direction myself even though I really like the Jaguar F-Type and Cayman GTS.

Choice: M4 - issues, traction gEtting the power down - new M4 owners, is this as big a deal as the magazines say?
Choice: C63 507: issues: traction, tail happy, doesn't handle as well as M4, bad gas mileage
Choice: RS5: issues: under steer, bad mileage, wait for new model?
Choice: GTR: issues, not refined, noises, expensive to maintain

M4 is truly an all rounder, it is beautiful, fast, the full package. Coming from a FBO 335, 6MT, is the really big difference going to be the DCT?

I hate my car spinning all my performance away, will the M4 have this same issue? The articles all say this is the case which is why I was going to go all wheel drive.

AMG owners does the 507 get it's power down?
