And, your last statement is absolutely false. The GT-R will not beat the 997tt in every discipline. The most important every day performance benchmark on the street is roll on/in gear acceleration. The GT-R will simply get spanked there everytime by the 911. 3495 lbs. and more torque Porsche vs. 3873 +/- lbs. GT-R.
I agree. I'm looking forward to a fairer comparison when Porsche releases the 997tt with PDK. There's no way a 6 speed manual or an outdated 5 speed autobox from Mercedes can match the GT-R's dual clutch shift speed.
