Once again the GTR wipps the Porsche 911 S
 

Notice how Tiff couldn't hardly talk or smile while driving the 911 in comparison to him on the GTR. The verdict GTR still faster by 3sec.

GTR is no doubt a beast, however I would take the 911 S any day of the week

I'd take either of them in a heartbeat.

:iagree:

Porsche :yum:

I'm glad an AWD supercar can beat a RWD sports coupe. I'd glady take the Porsche as well.

Supercar or not, its a fair comparison when looking at prices...

:iagree:

Fair enough. But you've got to be silly to realistically think a 911 CS has a shot at matching the lap times of the GT-R. And similarly silly to consider the GT-R besting the CS as some sort of real victory. It's a given.

It's akin to comparing a Pirelli World Challenge GT car's lap time around Laguna Seca to that of a Continental Tire Challenge GS car's time. :icon17:

I somewhat agree and somewhat don't. Bang for the performance buck, GTR shows its stuff here. But that's kinda like pitting a boss mustang against a 335i. Both have the same MSRP, but the boss would crush it in performance tests.

Exactly. All I'm saying is the people who know know that the GT-R is really not setting its sights at the performance level of the 911 CS... instead it's looking higher at the Turbo and GTX cars. That's what it does.

Exactly couldnt agree more. Silly to compare the meek little 911 S against this fire breathing turbo monster. It certainly highlights value of the GTR but its not a fair fight. Lets see how the new 991 GT2 fairs against the GTR. Or even the new 991 based GT3 when it hits the streets.

I agree that is 100% fair on the performance side, but rice side, you could have what? 2 and a half 3 GTR's? Not arguing, its just interesting. It's not like we are talking about an Aston Martin who just tries to make their Luxury cars look and kind of feel sporty. Porsche's are supposed to be very high end sports cars.

Again, sure not putting down Porsche because I’d still take the Porsche its more of a complement to Nissan!

911 turbo against a GT-R. I take the 911. 911 S against a GT-R??? I take the GT-R.

I really don't know how to judge a good driver but the guy driving those cars was pretty awesome IMO.
