Nissan 370Z vs Porsche 911 Carrera s

i think the carrera is nice looking but because the styling changes are so minor, a 2010 carrera would look nearly identical to a carrera from 5 or 6 years

if money was not a concern, i would take the carrera too. why not? it's a higher end car.

Well, I would hope Sven would follow up with a comparison of the Porsche to a Ferrari 458 or a Lamborghini Gallardo. I could understand if the price were within 20% of each other but to choose the Base Z and compare it to something that costs almost triple is just ridiculous.

To answer your question, if money were not a concern at that price point, I'd choose the GT-R (and so did most other trusted publications).

Hey my name is Sven this Porsche makes my heart race!

*Proceeds to drive to a top speed of 30mph*

Boy that sure was fun! Maybe in a few more years I'll learn manual and actually take a car to it's top gear!

unfortunately, problem i have with the GT-R is if i picked that car, i would have to give up manual shifting and to me, that is asking a lot

i know for the amount we are talking about, i would rather have a base nissan 370z and a shelby gt500 than just one porsche carrera

Too funny, the only cars I've considered buying in the last 5 years have been the Shelby GT500 and now the 370Z!!!
