    I agree that the miata has better suspension esp up front but making power in a miata cost $ and I think that might help the 240 make up some of the difference.

    Not really, you could swap in another motor, or boost the 1.6, or a 1.8 and stroke it to a 2.0, not to mention power to weight, Miata owns the 240 on weight.

    I'm picking up a Miata shell soon and will probably do that to it. I've been looking into it a lot.

    The porsche beat it by a few seconds.

    I don't think its definitive, but it certainly says something.

    The GTR isn't really turning out to be all its cracked up to be in the media. Awesome car, but not the automotive messiah.

    ? It won car of the YEAR by several acclaimed magazines,....which are media sources, and cars like porsche's gt2, cadillac's cts-v were it's competition as were many other cars...

    It's a great car. And it hasn't even had time to develop, this is the 1st year the car/vr38dett engine has been put into production. Porsche has had decades to improve on the 911, of course it's faster...

    There is no debate. Car is great. Some points about it may or may not have been exaggerated, and I know you would like to believe so, but you have an extremely biased outlook on this as you don't like the gt-r but like porsche, which is ok, but biased to not really a valid opinion.

    That's like me asking someone who only like vanilla ice cream which is better, vanilla or chocolate? He's obviously going to say vanilla.

    Um no not really. This magazine article wasn't written by me, all the unhappy GTR owners aren't me, all the magazines that complain about the parts I hate aren't me, so...lol

    That may be true I guess but that is just fucking stupid.

    I would take the GT2 even if it was 20 seconds slower around the ring. No joke.

    I would also actually take just a Porsche 993 Carrera over the GTR. The GTR is a fat pig and I like my girls thick... not fat

    I just read the article from automobile mag, it said when everything was said and done the gt-2 only lapped the ring 7 seconds faster than the gt-r. But the gt-2 costs 100k more. LOL

    7 seconds is a HUGE gap on a race track.

    see about that price.. some will dismiss it with the porsche... BUT will bring it up when they refer to the Zo6,Viper ,M3 and add what you can add for the price difference.

    So with that said.. give me GTR with the GT2 price difference....and im a happy MAN!
