Sure some people will drive them daily but chances are most will not.

The question is would someone who may be considering the Porsche now consider the GTR instead because of this new found performance? Personally I doubt it. There is a bit of snobbery and feel good factor in owning a Porsche and the only people the GTR will hold kudos with are the boyracer and real car nuts, the rest will see it as something brash and vulgar.

Sorry if this offends anyone.

I respect the GT-R's performance, but thats about it...and I will never own one.
