Turbo S vs 2012 GTR
I saw this Fifth Gear video and thought the two cars were incredibly close. Close enough to blame the GTR's loss to a number of variables (eg driver). What do you all think? Which of the two would you rather drive? Some numbers: _____________911 Turbo S:________________2012 GTR: HP======= 530 hp @ 6250 rpm___________530 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm Torque==== 516 lb-ft @ 2100 rpm__________448 lb-ft @ 5,200 rpm Weight==== 3550 lb______________________3829 lb 0-60====== 2.9 sec______________________2.8 sec 1/4 Mile==== 10.9 sec @ 128 mph___________11.0 sec @ 124 mph Base Price== $160,050_____________________$89,950 I know other numbers would be more telling, such as 80-130 mph times, but I couldn't find any. Feel free to add your own or correct mine. I'd take the Turbo S, despite being double the price.

I wish I was in a position to have a choice. Probably take the 911 because I am shallow.

Haha the 911 seems more classy, but the gtr is one hell of a bargain. Half the price, yet it matches the Turbo S in performance. 997GT3 says it best... It's too expensive.

Either way, you won't regret the purchase. The GTR will save you a lot, and you are driving a modern icon. The Turbo S is even more iconic, and it looks 100x rarer and more impressive, but it isn't for the cost vs. the GTR.
