If You Could... Porsche Or Gtr

[N/A®]

For those who have never been to Tokyo, this is defintely a city for 911's. The ones who can afford them obsolutely love them and you can pretty much find them all day long.

A Porsche guy came into our office yesterday to pick up my bosses car for its 1st service informed us of something interesting. At his dealership alone, 5 of his customers traded in their 911 GT2's and GT3's for the new GTR.

After a few months, they all switched back. When asked why, they said after you the thrill of the straightline accelaration and hype goes out, they prefer the Porsche which I can understand. He also mentioned that the new PDK transmissions are not that good.

Just thought I would share this with you guys.

[sneakey pete]

Sure. i'd take a Porsche. Then sell it, buy a gtr and have a little cash to spare.

R35 GTR....It's faster and tougher without the wank factor......not only that there a lot of change to spend of even more go faster bit's.

Where's the wank factor in something like a 911 GT3, GT2, or even a Turbo? imo, all outstanding cars, and can cop a flogging all day, every day, without raising a sweat.

Im sure thats what the Porsche owners are saying as well. Personally I have owned many Nissan models including GTR although not the 35 and would probably go 911 as well. I mean just look at that front end and the built is so much more better compared to the Nissan.

R35 GTR!

Half the price of a 911 Turbo, with similar if not better performance and spare cash left over...

[PHaT MR30]

Id take a GT3 straight up

[phunky_monkey]

^^^ Second that!

[Mohsen]

GT3- sell it, buy a v-spec and a house

another question would be: would you buy a 5 year old GT3 or 911T for about $150k, or a new r35?

I'd take a GT3 over a GTR. But I'd take a ZR1 over any of them.

Reliability is the key. I think we all know that 911’s can take redline punishment day after day and year after year and they just laugh right back at you! The question is can the GT-R handle this same kind of punishment and perform just as well? Only time will tell!

give me any ruf over any R35.

[DAS KAMU]

Because Ive owned many Nissans including GTR, although not the 35 which I contemplated buying before getting my 6 series. Also I have easy access to the 35 here in Japan and my boss owns a Porsche.

The biggest 2 difference for me is the quality and at the end of the day knowing that its only a Nissan which anyone can buy. But thats is after living in Japan for 4 years. Unlike when I was in Australia, I see a GTR now and I dont even take much notice honestly.
