I'm sorry but there are plenty of reaons why people by the Porsche and will never look back. Sorry it's a thing called quality and soul. A vette is virtually shit inside compared to it's expensive competitors, feels shitty, looks shitty and really just is constructed of low quality materials and plastics. Same goes with an E39 M5 compared to a CTS-V or GTO compared to a CLK550 or an E46 M3 compared to a 350z.. a person who expects their cars to feel as good and as exhilerating as it, is not going buy a cheap bargain immitation that goes as fast. You have such a narrow way of looking it.Originally Posted by NissanTun3r
Also a GTR is simply a improved 350z with twin turbo's and a great chassis. Subjectively by many people who have reviewed it, it's not nearly as great to drive as it suggests, nor very exhilerating like that 100K GT3 you mention. It's just a block with a snail and AWD that throws down some good numbers for a great price. Would a GT3, M3, F430, Gallardo be the same if it had a 6500-7k redline and silent whooring turbo motor. I don't think so, they developed real motors instead of taking a short cut.
Alright so I ask what the point you were trying to make was when you replied to my post and you try and start a childish internet battle. People start stupid shit on here all the time and I'm not going to be part of it. It's sad they allow people with your attitude to post on here. Also thanks for complement on my sig.
i wont say anything about how any of these cars performance because i have never driven any of them. but when it comes to looks i would take a gt3 over the gtr hands down but prolly will end up with a gtr cause its cheaper and just as fast. if i had enough money i could care less about the 911s heritage even tho i kno it has an impressive one

-car and driver, 370z review
I have to say that after seeing two GTR's for the first time, in a matter of ten minutes, I liked the external appearance. I'm sure it's a nice car and it looks badass, that much I can admit but, I would still take the Porsche.
IMO, the price difference between the two is not important. If you make enough money to make payments on the gtr, the payments on a 911 are not gonna break you... and if they do then your priorities are in the wrong place.![]()
I say testdrive both, and pick which one drives the best........
which will obviously be the porsche.![]()

Did any of you watch the video? LOL.
Hubinet was complaining the entire time about the shot tires on the 997, lol.
lol ya i heard the same thing... i'm sure the Porsche would destroy it w/ better tires... street compound vs race would make a HUGE difference on that type of race.Originally Posted by IDCoconut
you want to put it to the test make cobb race a lemans porsche and see who last the race; 1 lap doesn't say shit about a "race car"
Yeah, he got it sideways a few times, lol.Originally Posted by IDCoconut
I agree, fresh tires on the 997 = diff story.
Also, I would take 997 over the GTR![]()
Price really doesn't matter right now as the GTR's still cost about $100K to get one. I don't like Porsche but I still wouldn't buy a GTR. Hell I can even go buy a Z06 which was the last real "it" performance car and the first one everyone hit up for performance tests with the new GTR. The simply fact remains that in order to use a GTR properly or to get the numbers that Nissan publishes you void your warranty. That's simply retarded and kills the car in my eyes. If I buy a performance car I want to be able to use it as its supposed to be used and know it will still work. You can take the cheapest Porsche made even 10 years ago and turn off any PSC it has and run the shit out of it at a track and still drive it home, same goes for the new ones except you'll still have a warranty if you do. Yes the GTR is fast, yes its a great achievement in working around physics but it breaks too much and the parts are still too expensive. I'll still buy an R34 which looks better and I can run it hard and break fewer parts. If its not going to be warrantied and expensive I might as well get one that won't break.

R34??? Really Bender?? Thats a lie and you know it. You would rather do a 1jz swap in an s13 than work on a skyline. If that wasn't the case then there would be an 800 hp R33 Godzilla running around Macon.Originally Posted by Cool Cat Racing

GTR PWNS ALL!!! (isn't that the new way to discuss cars in Car Talk?? LOL)
the 2JZ is a more sophisticated enhine than the RB26. Toyota had 5 years to look through the RB26 before releasing the 2JZ.Originally Posted by Capt._Ron
But when considering what the cars were originally meant to do (road racing). Both Iron blocks were opsolete by 1999.
as for road racing ive always been led to believe the 3SGTE was a better engine then the 2jz,for the weight and powerOriginally Posted by EJ25RUN
Yeah it is. You can place it further back and dont have to swing around an iron block. All that became old 6 years ago when the Supra GT500 teams swaped from a 3S to a 3UZ all alloy V8. They still use that engine.Originally Posted by HypnoToad
Once the LF-A gets closed to production, i know the teams will switch to that body shape but i hope they use that V10 as well.
I cant afford either of em - so at this point in time I'm not going to worry about which one I'm going to buy.
