I just don't understand those who diss on a GTR because it's "just a Nissan" and get a 911T instead. When did Porsches become a status symbol? Did I miss something? But hey, maybe some people just like to pay more money so they can go slower. Last edited by Majin Buu; 05-04-2013 at 09:08 AM.. |

99.9% of you guys wont even get close to their lap times in either car if you had the chance, so who cares!!!!!!!! Buy what you like and be happy with it.

Phenomenal. Beyond my means to buy new if I also want a decent daily driver. Willing to bet it will be around $180-190k.

Too bad you can't put a paper bag over a GTR when you drive it. And pipe in the sound from the S65.

As for "refinement" and "finesse", I actually cars that are more raw and hardcore. Reminds me that I'm in a performance car and not a luxury cruiser. But if refinement is your thing, then by all means dont get a GTR but upgrade to the alternative, which is the 911 Turbo, for a very small amount of $$$ that would otherwise get you a new M3, or a new fully loaded Cayman S, or another base 911, or a Corvette C7, or a decent downpayment on a new house. But like I said, some people have money to burn and would prefer to get the more expensive and slower option. More power to them. Personally, the only reason i would have ever considered the turbo over the gtr is the availability of a manual gearbox, but unfortunately that is no longer the case with the new 991 generation. |

Now, in terms of value, I agree that a new Porsche is a poor value, but that is a different matter entirely

If I had money to burn I would go with this... Not the fastest by any means but fast enough for me and looks solid. Now if anyone says the Nissan GTR looks better and out performs this car, they need to be screened for drugs.

Not a fan of the redesigned body for the 991 Turbo. I think the 997.2 Turbo was a much better looking car. The 991 Carrera S and the new Cayman are in their own right beautiful cars., but the 991 Turbo looks like a cross-breed between the two gone wrong.

Porsche is the single most successful manuf. in race car history. BMW, Ferrari and Merc combined dont have the success they do. And they have always been the benchmark. Thats why nissan targeted the 911 turbo when they wanted to make a sports car. They targeted the best. The GTR is a very fast car and will beat out most super/hyper cars on the track because its designed to. Most people in a GTR will be faster than someone in a 458 or turbo just because the GTR is made to put down fast lap times with its tech and awd. Id still take a 911 turbo or 458 and be ever so slightly slower any day. |
