GTR will leave it for dead from a standstill, but a tuned C63 (re-map) will keep within touching distance. A S/C C63 will leave a standard GTR driver thinking WTF in a straight line from a rolling start ha ha. N

Joined Jan 4, 2014 Messages 26 Car C63 AMG They're pretty different cars, really. You'd do well to shoehorn a couple of big kids in the back of a GTR for any length of time, let alone adults with decent sized front seat passengers. If I didn't need any practicality, I'd love a GTR. Not sure if it's the most refined of vehicles for every day use though (but I'd live with it). Contender for biggest car with smallest cabin, surely?

Joined Nov 26, 2010 Messages 691 Location Nottingham Car C63 AMG Coupe the GTR is on another level of performance in my opinion. Awesome technology, amazing power, and very driveable. But it's large on our roads and much more expensive than a C63 to run which is scary! Questionable interior too, but what a machine! I would love one.

AGREE GTR considering it has rear seats, a massive boot, air conditioning music subs etc etc and still has incredible performance Is light years away from s C63 imo for the whole package A gtr when driven normally and can be a comfortable daily driver if you wanted and still have the capabilities to be an absolute beast on a track remember a Nismo GTR (which isn't that much more tuned than stock!) Beat the Nurburgring record lap for a production car doing it in 7:08 seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS3JpStxWnE if you have the sort of money then buy a GTR, you won't be disappointed more info here: Nissan GT-R Nismo review, price and specs | evo go test one mate, itl convince you M

Joined Mar 2, 2014 Messages 361 Location Durham Car Weistec Supercharged E63 I test drove a 2010 standard GTR whilst looking for a new car about 18 months ago, one word phenomenal!!!!. As said in one of the posts above it's usability & drivability has to be tried to be believed. Unfortunately I (I mean my wife) couldn't justify squeezing the 2 kids with car seats in the back although I tried everyway to convince her that they'd fit she was having none of it, so we ended up with an e60 M5. Test drive both on a nice long run and see how they stack up to what you need/want. Nice choice to have though C63 or GTR? M

SUPPORTER Joined Sep 6, 2012 Messages 2,103 Location Surrey Car W211 E55 AMG I used to drive Honda's (loved my Civics) before I switched... performance wise the GTR is the nuts. Nissan can't beat that German branding. I agree with that test drive... it will bring out what you want/need. Last edited: Mar 21, 2014

Probably but I wouldn't pull up alongside and wave at the driver of the Gtr then put my foot down while bragging to my wag wife ( sunderland football player)......bless him he was gutted when the C 63 left him for dead with 2 lengths of skirting board resting between the arm rest (seats dropped).:bannana: A
