GT-R or M5

If you were to buy one of these, which would you choose?

The gt-r is truly a remarkable car, but between an f10 m5 and a gt-r I would go with the m5

F10 M5, without question....not that I'm biased, since it's my next car of choice.

Neither.... I was first into GTRs.

Read this:
http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews..._up/index.html

E60 M5- Heavy, gas guzzling but lots of power. Possible astronomical repair bills long term.

I vote F10 M5

You obviously have not seen the specs or the car (at least the mock-ups) of the F10 M5. :P

GT-R............ if they offered a blue paint... One thing that's most surprising about it is that it's down on horsepower / torque compared to other supercars and yet, it still manages to keep up or surpass them. The genius of Nissan put into the transmission. Good stuff.

If I really had to choose an M5, I'd rather have the E60. The new F10 is just hideous.

I'm just wondering how all you guys that are voting for the F10 M5 are making that decision considering the car hasn't been spec'd or released yet???

I've seen all the vids and the speculation, but until something concrete is actually released there isn't much discussion unless you're comparing the E60 and the GT R.

GT R in a heartbeat over the E60.

Don't get me wrong, I am hoping for a game changer in the F10, and have already talked with my dealership about wanting first crack....but....we'll see what the final product looks like.
