'I'd take the GT2 over GT3 anyday.....then I'd take the 2000 model porshe

Isn't the GTR closer in price to the Boxster? If so then the question becomes a lot easier to answer.

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.

I asked why they changed back buddy.

[dan_the_man]

maybe i was hoping there was more to it than that.

I asked why they changed back buddy.

After a few months, they all switched back. When asked why, they said after you (get use to) the thrill of the straightline accelaration and hype goes out, they prefer the Porsche which I can understand.

well I can understand that. a GT2 or GT3 is a hell of a lot of car. The R35 is super impressive but it's an 8mil yen car VS the two Porsche's at 4 times that.

If money is no object I'd probably take a 911 turbo over an R35 and same goes for the GT2 and GT3 too. In fact of the three I do have a soft spot for the GT3.

BUT in the real world I live in, and with a budget to consider the R35 is a damn good deal. it's nearly porsche good for nissan money.

I like Porsches, they make good braking markers on track days

If i had the money the Porsche... then the GTR, If i couldn't afford the GTR than a z4 M

[gtr660hp]

maybe a GT3RS...but for that sort of cash I much rather a 1098R + Jetski + 125cc shifter kart + change (much more fun). 150K for a Nissan nooooooooo thanks

[666DAN]

Porsche Carrera GT....V10 FTW!!!Would just need to do something with the rear spoiler :S Otherwise the 996/997 will do me just fine

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Ill take a porker thanks.

Id sell it.

Get a 35GTR, an S4 Avant and a crazy rearsteering 930T.

Happy garage.

Anyone going on about lower GTR build quality obviously hasn't seen/touched/driven one, they're beautifully finished, with excellent materials, SO much better than any Nissan before.

Hell yeah, the car is built so well and very solid.

My choice would be a new 370Z, then spend whats been saved on hookers and coke Or else a turbo kit and a few other goodies.

Far more satisfying and interesting than paying lots more for something that is grossly overpriced like the Porsche or over teched like the R35. Having said that the GT-R would be better to drive near the limits than the P car, according to most reports.

[phunky_monkey]

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

A 996 GT3 would still be my choice

The last point is true but personally I dont think the first is correct. This is just my personal opinion only.

[Smitizen]

Id take a GT3 straight up

GT3 RS! Saw an Orange one the other day. Looked and sounded magic!!!

[RRB20ASH]
