BMW M3 GTR or Ruf RGT

[Mr. Boy]

Man, these are two of the best cars in the game. They're so much fun to drive. But I'll give the slight nudge to the M3.

 

[Wolfe]

M3 GTR road version?

 

[niky]

Both nice, but I'd take the M3 GTR... just because the engine's in the right place.

 

[DJ-CiviC]

no questions ask... M3 GTR

 

[Wolfe]

Meh, I'll vote for the M3 GTR, even if it is the goofy-looking and rather pointless road version...

I much prefer the regular M3, M3 CSL, or the M3 GTR racecar...

 

[crimson_menace]

Not a fan of RUF's, but I rather enjoy the GTR. 👍

 

[Duke]

I love the RGT. I don't believe I've driven the GTR road car, but I do like the CSL... but while it's a willing partner, it's somwhat tame compared to the RGT.

 

[pSI civic]

i like the rgt.

 

[Kent]

Just like the McLaren, this comes down to the driver's ability to tame the beast.

The M3 GTR is the "every man's car," the RGT is the car for specialist who can deal with the rear-engine lay out.

Overall, the RGT should be, and probably is faster when in the right hands.
However, the average racer does not have "the right hands," and so, most of us will turn better lap times with the more stable and more predictable M3.

My pick,
The RGT

I really like the M3 GTR.
However, this comes down to looks for me.

Both cars are fast as hell and I can garuntee they will run nearly identical lap times under the right conditions so it comes down to which car looks better.
For me the better looking car is the RGT.

Now compare the M3 CSL and the RGT and we will really have a stale-mate.

 

[un_peacekeeper]

RGT for me, I find the RGT easier to turn and handle (somehow). And the looks are more...unique compared to most other cars.

 

[gibus]

rgt all the way! If it was the CSL, I would have taken the beemer.. but not the GTR.

 

[DJ-CiviC]

I think the RGT has a thunderous come back... I thought the M3 GTR would win X to 0 lol

 

[pSI civic]

the gtr has a 4.0l dohc v8 while the csl has a 3.2l dohc inline 6. the gtr has more power and torque then the csl and weighs less. why are some of you saying the csl and the rgt is a better match then the gtr and the rgt?

 

[Tornado]

Because the CSL is actually faster than the GTR is.

 

[jammyozzy]

I'm gonna have to go with the RGT. I love the looks, and the handling is great.
I prefer the BTR over the RGT though.

 

[ctown_racer]

because there is no porche we have the rgt. look at the ruf and it says fast. after tuning the gtr and driving it you know fast. close, but i have to give it to the gtr, especially at the ring.

 

[Brock5000]

I played around with both these cars when Kent raised the issue of their rivalry recently. As with his experience, I found that both cars would do similar lap times for me, with the RGT just a fraction quicker. However when actually driving it, the RGT felt slower, whereas the M3 felt a lot faster - perhaps because it was easier to drive.

Anyway I voted for the RUF, simply because it has more character. I do appreciate everything the BMW has to offer, but for me it just feels too easy to do a 100% lap and one really has to make an effort to get it out of shape.

 

[pSI civic]

i think the gtr is better then the csl. i like the rgt over either though as it has more oversteer givin its RR platform.

 

[DJ-CiviC]

well its tie...

 

[extreme car]

GTR all the way!!! love those carbon fibre roof

 

[spunkyd]

rgt for me!ruf just has the looks and speed.

 

[gibus]

seems like the rgt is catching up hehe

 

[identti]

RGT for me. RUFs are so much more special than BMW's, and tackling the RR layout is really fun. The BMW is a little too sensible and boring, and i prefer the porsche noise.

 

[orpheusd0wn]

On S2's, the RGT can keep up with (if not beat) the M5, let alone any of the M3's.

However, the mod who said it comes down to driver skill is correct. In order to appreciate the RGT, you must adjust yourself to the car, and to the RR handling properties.

The RGT is a masterpiece. Learn the BTR and CTR (Yellowbird) first. Then, once you've got a hang of those beasts, trot out the RGT, and you'll see what I mean.

Peace.

 

[pSI civic]

the rgt is the easiest to drive next to the 3400s. it has just the right balance. enough power and its not a cow.

 

[akhbhaat]

BTR > RGT

 

[SPM88]

RUF RGT is just the way to go 👍

 

[gibus]

i'm happy the rgt is now tie. I just hope it wins! when does the voting stop? at how many votes?

 

[Crash]

BMW M3 GTR.

I just much prefer BMW M cars...

 

[kart racer]

Give me the BMW any day.Allways loved the beemeer's.
