Agree, the ACR is not to be trifled with, big horsepower, even bigger hoosiers and legitimate downforce.

Which track? Anyway, my point stands. Put the same competent driver who wants to go fast in both cars, and I doubt the GTR will walk away. As far as I know, the ACR beat the GTR at the Ring by 7 seconds, and that's without the ex-F1 driver and months/years of fine tuning at that track.

Yes, that is consistent with what everyone is saying about the GTR. I don't necessarily expect the ACR to destroy it or anything, but stock vs stock, it should have an upper hand if driven by a qualified driver. I can only imagine it would be harder to drive than the GTR.

Since you guys are cousins, why don't you do a trial for a week and see how you like the GTR? If its to your liking, then make the trade final.

If you're willing to deal with the maintenance costs, then go with the GT-R since the performance difference between that and a E93 is pretty massive. Luxury/comforts are probably a different story.

Again. What do people mean by "maintenance costs"? I have 14000+ miles and 3 services on my GT-R and haven't forked out any money.

Biggest mistake with the GTR is lack of manual transmission. What were they thinking? Its not a freaking video game, its a sports car, put a real tranny in it for those that actually enjoy driving. Its a car for women IMO. There is more to driving than that extra .5 of a second to 60mph.
I second the c6z06, although I'm biased, I had a c5z06. I'll definitely own another z06 or zr1 someday - was such a great car.

Are Ferraris and Lambos for girls too? How about F1 cars? I wish my wife drove this:

It seems that internet banter on the GT-R is viewed as a higher source of credibility these days as oppose to feedback from actual owners.

Terrible post. I guess the gents over in Munich are just as crazy as well? What were they thinking developing the M DCT gear box?? Who would ever want a transmission that shifts lighting quick, with virtually uninterrupted power to the wheels. |

I take the woman comment back. That was inappropriate.
But I still think that flappy paddles are for people who dont appreciate wheat real driving is all about. You can go on all day about how dct or similar designs are faster, but you'd be totally missing the point. Is it faster on track, 0-60, launch control... Yes, obviously, thats why F1 and race cars use it, but I dont really get in my car to have it drive me. I want to be in control... its uhm, the whole point of having a fun car.. Learn to REALLY drive people, you're missing out!
