    You're the one that has swayed a lot of people into thinking that.

    But as i have always said. A GTR will never replace the greatest ever sports car.

    That was cool, I wish they would've interviewed the TechArt gent after the race since he would be "shocked" if the Porsche didn't win.

    For the coin I would definitely take the GTR over the Porsche, but damn the Porsche is sexy.

    i love porsches and all but dammit, the engine is in the wrong place.
    front engine or mid engine, thats it.

    its a tough choice between the 911 and gtr. id take the gtr just because its cheaper. id take the rest of the money and buy a stockpile of gearboxes.

    Who cares? Why don't they mention the tires used? For all we knew the GT-R could have semi slicks vs Porsche regular compound tires. I hate when they intentionally over look the details.. It makes it look like it was a Cobb sponsored show

    I usually could care less but that is some horrid shit. I'd really like you to explain that one.

    Your loser ass probably can't even explain where both horses originated. Dumbass.

    I don't believe the gt-r can replace the greatest sports car ever either. But I also don't think it tries to. The GT-R is a super car for a fraction of the price of a porsche 911 turbo, lambo, audi r8, ferrari...

    By the way, what is this greatest sports car ever?

    The 911

    ...and as for saying Boxster sucks, it's not the best Porsche, but it's far from sucking, especially an S.

    The boxster actually wins more awards than does the 911. And the Boxster/Cayman is a very nice car to own.

    I don't get how you make your opinions. Have you ever driven a Boxster?

    I'm sick of people comparing the GTR to cars it outperforms, this shit needs to stop.

    Good effing lord, of course its half the fucking price. Its a goddamn nissan compared to a fucking porsche. A Porsche is an amazingly refined vehicle in which virtually no corners were cut, you ride in a drop top 911 and its virtually silent with the top down, its because it wasnt hastily thrown together, everything works perfectly together. I am fucking sick of people trying to overshadow porsche with numbers. Yeah you can probably build a honda civic to beat all the numbers of a ferrari makes but at the end of the day its a fucking honda, who gives a shit.

    If pulling a boxster into a detail bay was considered driving, then yes...j/k

    I personaly think the boxster's are ugly, and I would much rather buy something else with that kind of money. Looks > performance for me. I could care less about having the fastest car out there. I like cayman's though.

    But EJ. what does it matter if I drive a boxster or not? Every one here talk so much trash about the gt-r yet not one of those trash talkers has driven one.

    Granted. But for most of us, driving > looks and the GTR is just a computer to us.
