Oh and the 911 is twice as much as the GT-R also.

I still predict the Z will come very close on the track. I will recant if I am wrong.
Noted to be better for stopping a few times from 60. They dont last more than a few laps on a track because the pads get cooked. They are Akebono's not Porsche brakes.

My comments sound like someone who looks at facts and has seen more than a few trackdays.

Also, FYI, the 911 line starts a few grand under the MSRP of the GT-R. The Turbo is around 140k. Then the GT3 RS is around 160k, which would be twice as much as a GT-R.

Also careful hehe, I've been on the track in every car we're talking about... this is my STI along with my friends at the last few track events... I took PLENTY of laps in the GT-R and the GT3. I can tell you that the GT-R is MUCH faster than all those cars I mentioned except for the 997 GT2. The GT-R is absurdly fast..




997 GT2, 996 Carrera, CLK Black Edition, Nissan GT-R, 08 STI Full race, Off camera 997 Turbo, Twin Turbo full race 350Z, 997 GT3

Let this be a friendly discussion too, I mean no harm
