OK guys, lets not forget this is m3post.com...that means were mainly talking about M3s. A little bit of comparison of other cars is fine but this is getting a bit over board.

On the 911TT vs. GT-R: There is ample evidence that the GT-R is under-rated. If so and if Nissan delivers an SAE spec car in the US then it simply won't perform like the ones with more power. I think this is the essence of what Art has been saying. We all know the GT-R has an amazing drivetrain (AWD, traction control system, diffs, dual clutch trans, etc.) and a very advanced chassis as well. Nonetheless all cars are subject to the laws of physics and the GT-R is quite a heavy car. Only time will tell if the current huge sums over sticker that US dealers want for the car will be worth it or not.

Please take the rest of the GT-R vs. 911TT debate to PM.
