    Just because one or two guys broke a tranny doesn't mean that ALL gtr's tranny is garbage.

    And maybe porsche's warranty on their cars are better, they also cost a hell of a lot more. In addition to the cost, porsche also has decades of racing heritage/r&d which goes into each car and porsche itself seems to be primarily a sports car manufacturer rather than an all-purpose auto manufacturer liek nissan. Even the cayenne's perform great. No on here is saying porsche's are bad...

    But considering that for its price, there is ONLY 1 other car that competes with the gtr(the vette), I would say it's great car. As I've said earlier, if you don't think so then you haven't gone 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.
    I saw a gtr last night and damn they are sexy. Boxsters are ugly, although the new boxsters look nice!

    ATTN: The GTR trans issue has been resolved. A weak 1st gear was the problem and an aftermarket company has come out with a heavy duty 1st.
    There GTR currently hold the record at 10.4 at 132
