Once again the GTR wipps the Porsche 911 S

chris410 · 06-21-2012, 03:14 PM

Like others said, Carrera S is nothing of a challenge for a GTR. Then again, very few cars really are!

While the GTR was faster, if I had the choice on which one to drive at the track I'd have to choose the 911 CS, GTR is simply too good and too easy for my taste. If I want a computer to do the work for me, I'll save the money and play Gran Turismo. However, if I were racing in a series and I was worried about results VS fun...I'd go with the GTR without hesitation.

I think he is just saying he'd take a turbo over the GTR but a GTR over a S.

Sorry, I was just pointing out the 911 CS difference for those who might confuse it for the 911 turbo S.

I'll edit my post...my bad!

Well the turbo is almost double the price of the GTR.

The 911 regardless of model is a much nicer all around ride imho.

Great you feel that way. I feel anything with turbos has more potential all around. And a 1000 hp GT-R seems like more fun to me than a S.

Throw in the 911 turbo and its a ahole different ball park. But I get it. Most of you will feel more important in a porsche... more prestige behind the name.

I'm just going by what I think would be more fun to own.

I'll gladly rob a bank and buy myself a Porsche 911 S too!

Honestly I think every man or even a young boy at one point in time dream t of owning a Porsche.
But realistically based on my personal position in life...The GTR would be the closesest thing to reality of owning one. Maybe 5 to 6 years down the road.

The Porsche is like winning a Lottery on a 1 in a million chance.

appearence of the GT-R i think (as with everything in life) is a matter of personal preference, some people dont like the the styling of Godzilla, others( like myself) think it looks great.

and as it stands...the GTR is less money. powerful and STILL made Porsche its b*tch. haha :P

all in what you like i suppose

Yeah! I'm excited to see how the new 991 Turbo will compare to the R35 GT-R. The GT-R is amazing in how it set a new standard for super-sportscar performance at great value for money.

Is Nissan working on a new GT-R now ?
