How would you compare a 996 Turbo to a GTR? Can a 996TT be easily modified to 550AWHP or higher for say $5-$10K?

I can sell my GTR and buy a 996TT with some cash left over that I can put back into the stock market.

What do you guys think?

 

You can get a 996TT to 550whp with an exhaust and set of 24/18gs + software which I think could be had for less than 10K.

The stock market... Thats another issue.

 

Yeah, dont worry about the stock market portion of that, just the car comparo.

 

Keep the GTR. My buddy has a P800 GTR, in which he daily drives, takes it road racing, ran a 191 at the standing mile and pulls a 141 trap in the quarter mile.

Amazing car...

 

That 141 trap is highly debated! . read the NAGTROC forums. His 1/8 mile trap is too low for a 141. Also to run a 191 texas mile , a 996 turbo with k16 upgrades is all that is needed. No need of 800 HP and $$$$ worth of builds. Its a great car , but cant hide the weight!

Gtr is a nice car, but a 911 turbo it's not. You know you want the turbo, go for it! I'd suggest the latest model you can swing, ideally an 05 996tts.

 

IMO, they are both great cars, both on the track and on the streets. Both attract a slightly different crowd, but they are also both performance powerhouses.

We currently have a special on an entire K16 package for $5995. A set of GT28's will offer you amazing spool time with enough airflow to support well over 600whp.

Don't doubt the GTR though, it is a very capable vehicle.

 

I think its comparing apples to oranges...

Are you happy with the GTr? Me personally, I think it's a LOT more car for the money (current technology vs. 7 year old technology) and I'm not sure you'll be as happy with the 996TT.

The GTr is just a damned nice street car, period.

your on your 14th car at aged 23 so i would assume you get bored easily and are not looking for a car to hang onto for a long time, if your bored of the gtr then try the 996 for a while, if you dont like it move on

you can get crazy power out of these things for not a lot of money, search the forum and you'll see tons of threads about it

other than being being fast cars they are both very different machines, both amazing in their own ways, have you driven a 996 turbo yet ? maybe see if you can drive a modded one and see what you think

I'd think for the price of a used GTR, you could look at 997TT rather than a 996TT....

 

There are several modifications for the GTR available to keep you busy

 

you're both traitors

I agree, the GTR has grown on me. I would not trade my 996tt in for it, but if I had one I would be happy with it, except for the auto/man tranny, I prefer 6 speeds.

 

Calm down there skippy! I'm not selling mine for one of those... Just recognize it for what it is... A well engineered piece of weaponry.

I disagree, you can get a 996 TT for half the price of a GT-R. Half the headaches, maintenance too.
