I smoked a 911 Carrara 4s.

If you want to compare a Z to the 911 then compare the Nismo which has performance in mind and not the base or sport.

Of course the price difference even in the Cayman you can have upgrades that will not only put the Z on the same performance level, but surpass it.

To me if I am going to spent a ton on performance ill just get the best they have and go with the GTR and call it a day.

If you own a Z you understand that you don't always buy a car to be the fastest on the road. GTRs are fast cars but they are not a Porsche.

Oh for goodness sake, get over it, Porsches are good just not worth the money you pay for them. you are paying so much more just for brand cache. The GTR is an awesome car for reasonable money, although it could look better. Having said that the 911 is not exactly a beauty queen either.

Just wondering, have you driven a GTR? have you driven a 991? Normally people who pass judgment as much as you have normally never driven such a car before.

hey, you don't need to get shot with a shotgun to know you're not going to like it right?
no i have not driven either, but that is what road tests are for. road tests reveal the GTR to be superior to the 911 at a cheaper price.

That was a terrible analogy.

Superior is vague. Yes the GTR is faster, but it's a totally different experience. Your opinion doesn't add any value to the conversation because you have no merit behind it.

Preface your opinion by adding in "I think the GTR would be superior" as to making some sort of false claim. It will help your case.

And.....driving experiences are different to different people. So if the GTR is statisically superior to the 911 and the driving sensation is different too, why would you automaticaly conclude the 911 is better? Is it because of years of marketing hype that has crept into ones subconscious?
Fact is in all measurable ways the GTR is better than the 911 and if one prefers the driving experience of a GTR, then how is this a false claim?

A little too much

going on. What is better for one is not better for all. Each has it's strengths & weakness.

Precisely, and you have no experience driving either thus you can offer no opinion.

Thanks for stopping by the thread and saying hi though

Nick is pretty funny....He has never driven either car, but the books tell him which car is better ......

The real world is not a book Nick....Keep posting....Your argument continues to get weaker and weaker...

Remember Nick, YOU don't know anything about what is better....You are just reporting what you read somewhere, not actual experience...

I haven't driven either so I don't know.

Guys, i am up front and said i have not driven these cars but going purely on what motoring "experts" have concluded. The GTR IS measurably superior to the 911, that is a fact. I do not understand how you guys can discount the opinions of "experts" yet give validity to your own possibly limited opinions.
now that is funny.
