porsche bc it has a man pedal

 

I don't know yet. Wait until I after race Jamie and I'll get back to you.

All joking aside, I still think the modded TTs and GT2s will have an advantage from a roll with the right driver, but modded GT-Rs (especially that one) are freaking weapons, that's for sure.

Nice runs!

 

Just FYI - that is a 170whp busa, with a very experienced 165lb rider....

 

Hey there Frank. I would say knowing you, missing a shift is not an issue. I would take a any year SPI P800 996 Turbo with an add on rear spoiler blade and some tasteful exterior mods with out question. I have see some really nicely modified interiors with the use of carbon fiber pieces etc (It makes me miss my 01 Turbo)...Even next to a CGT, I thought she looked sexy!

I would only get a P800 GTR when the price drops a bit more more before consideration. If this is a weekend toy get the 996 Turbo, if you plan to do some rush hour metro Detroit daily driving the GTR would have to be the choice.

 

it comes down to choice. If you are not a Porsche fanatic or Nissan Fanatic and are just looking to go fast you just need to decide which one. So are GTR's already down to 55k?

 

Wow old pic there Les!

 

I know...I think when that pic was taken, you were still in middle school Neil LOL

But seriously Frank, cant go wrong with either choice! Good luck bro.

 

Shhhhh!


I remember when Tym brought the CGT over to my house to show Sr., I will never forget how that thing sounded, like nothing else...

 

You know I am just playing. For sure on the CGT! Like this:

i would go with the 996tt. these cars have proven themselves over time to be reliable. only time will tell how well the nissan's engine and transmissions will fare with the added power. i have a hunch that people will have to spend more money on the GTR to get the same level of straight line performance as well as reliability at those power levels. finally, a few cosmetic mods on the 996tt and you can have it all.

 

Pretty simple one is a Nissan and the other is a Porsche.

Porsche has more race wins than any other manufacturer. It has a pedigree dating back for 40 plus years.

It is considered a timeless design and always will be. While the GTR looks decent I don't like the looks compared to a 911.

Porsche there is no substitute!

 

The GTR is less involved, heavier, uglier, and far less cool than our cars. Also There are many time tested 700hp plus cars, so tuning options are better as well. "There is no substitute"...

 

Interesting... I've raced a 997TT on the 1/4 (much like the OP wants to drag race this car - which he's already conceeded on another thread, that because the GT-R can't go much over 200mph right now, it isn't the choice car for him). I had no problem beating him every one of the three runs, by .5secs or more. What does this have to do with racing pedigree? Nothing.

Are you saying that a Zonda can't compare to the Porsche because it isn't as old? I'd beg to differ.

 

I bet if I raced the Boost Logic GT-R if we lined up it would be an easy win without breaking a sweat... Both of our cars have the same turbos, same builder, same tuner, etc... Plus it's the only that's done a non f*cked up recorded 200+mph pass...

Plus he's going to spend a LOT more if he wants to get into the 9's etc... I have insider information on even the COST to build the tranny correct, etc... It's NOTHING compared to the Porsche. Plus I've been 10.08 @ 148.8 on a STOCK transmission and rearend with just a Tilton Triple Disk. Best mph 149.3 mph.
