May 26, 2012 - If i had to choose between these cars ... NISSAN GT-R for sure. Nissan = supersportcar bmw = luxuary Nissan (Japanese cars in general) is more advanced also (especially electronics). In my eyes, if u just want to pay more so u can say "i drive bmw", u don't know much about cars. Just look at the base prices .... 158.730 euro bmw ..... 71.859 euro Nissan U would be stupid to buy a bmw m5 instead of a Nissan GT-R.

May 25, 2012 - @joeyallen08 and I was also told at same dealership that the trannies are 18k USD to replace which is outrageous you could put a tranny in 15 vehicles for that lol. Don't know if it's worth it. When I test drove it they wouldn't allow launch control so I don't know that much from exp. but it was quick without it. Just think you will use one to try yourself the next to show a friend and one to show off. Then it's no longer a sub 3 sec car it's normal acc from there on that still sucks

May 25, 2012 - @joeyallen08. Yea I still think its under engineered for the price. The tranny doesnt hold up and they still restrict the launch control on a car you pay that much for. Every car it competes with that has launch control can be used at owners discretion. I just think they should of by now solved that issue. So either they need more time or they over did themselves and still looking for solution don't know. Even three tunes ain't enough in a car you own.

May 25, 2012 - Using launch control in the Nissan GTR 2012 model no longer voids the warranty, you can use the launch control successfully 3 times until it locks you out of the system, it has to be driven for a few miles before you can use launch control again.

May 24, 2012 - if I had the money I would go for a Jaguar XF R. less than half a second slower than a m5 on a quarter mile, on the top gear track half a second slower on the track. It is at least $20 000 cheaper than the M5, and I love Jaguars. The GTR is for japanese teenagers who like fast and furious.

May 24, 2012 - The BMW is not really a twin turbo. There's a scroll in the intake with two small turbine fans that rely more on intake pressure than exhaust. So when the mods come out and it actually gets a turbo iir will beat most that it don't now. Why BMW didn't use real turbos like every other mfr. that's what BMW does they reinvent the wheel. Great car the Nissan though. Just cheap and you void warranty for using launch control which is cheesy.

May 19, 2012 - It's all good. The Panamera Turbo S data I've seen has 0-60 in 3.4, 0-100 in 8.1 and 1/4 mile in 11.6 @ 121 mph to which the M5 is impressively close.
devilzmantis Says:
May 19, 2012 - wow.. did not know that of the Panamera Turbo S. I'm a bit behind.
