E63 AMG
Trade-in my E63 for 2014 GT-R?

I'm seriously considering this right now. I'd like to get your thoughts.

I don't drive my 63 that much plus we have a Cayenne and Tahoe that I would prefer to roll around with the family. I've been doing so much research into this but wanted to get your opinions. I'm also considering a used Turbo 997, Corvette ZR1, or 2015 Corvette Z06.

ALL tough choices, I don't know what I would pick either. I would just drive them and see which one puts the biggest smile on your face.

The 2015 Z06 sounds like it is going to be a MONSTER! But I agree I'd drive each and see which one you prefer out of the lot! Good luck!

997/gtr! gtr is prob gonna be the best all rounder, one of the best trans/awd systems. 997 is just plain nice looking and has the performance. imo i wouldn't get an american car, the zr1 interior is crap, obv not as nice as the Pcar, but the power is great.

I would wait for the Z06 to see what it's like. Otherwise the GTR should be cool if you can't wait.

2003 porsche 996 turbo
997 turbo will retain the best value and theres mods available to take to over 1000 rwhp if thats what turns you on. the vette needs a chirp alarm to find it in the sea of vettes at every show or track and the gtr while a fast brutal car but heavy and unappealing to most.

turbo porsche every time!

2015 AMG C63 S
2015 GTR, the suspension has been tweaked for a smoother ride over the 2014 GTR. Should be available soon in the US. And the GTR is faster than the cars mentioned above, lol.

2014 Nissan GT-R Nismo the world’s fastest accelerating production car. Yep, that means faster to 100km/h than cars such as the Ariel Atom 500 and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. However, Nissan isn’t just aiming to eclipse the current benchmark of 2.5 seconds, and instead wants to absolutely destroy it. In fact, it’s believed Nissan is aiming for a sprint to 100km/h in 2 seconds flat!
Crazier is the Alpha 16. 8.11@176 MPH full weight ! 0-60 in 1.6 seconds. 60-130 in 2.91 seconds compared to 5.6 seconds for the Veyron ...... Wonder how much this package costs. Probably much more than the car itself.

That being said they are really not very attractive car to most people. 997 and Vette look soooo much better. The new Z06 will be able to hit mid 9s without much work.

I wonder why most people don't view the GT-R as being very attractive? I think that along with it being a $100k+ Nissan makes it a harder sell for me. At least right now I have a Mercedes. But damn, $100k+ for a Nissan, I almost feel as if they should've marketed it as an Infiniti (NSX=Acura and LFA=Lexus). You never really heard people rag on the NSX when it was still in production saying, "It's just a Honda". The NSX also looked really good.

They could make just a few tweaks and it could look a lot better. Agreed on the Nissan name thing too. Amazing cars and I would be first in line if they looked even a little better.
