Well that just doesn't make sense.

Beyond the performance envelope which seems to be very much on par with each other, the TT offers a back seat for kids and a fairly high level of service. Most importantly the GTR is extraordinarily ugly with very boxy, squared lines. Its like the Nissan engineers threw a bunch of sheet metal on a frame. On the other hand, I truly love the lines of the 997TT - they seem to flow unobstrusively. Its probably just me, but the GTR is quite fugly. I can pretty much buy what I want (except maybe for a Veyron) and I simply would not want to have such an ugly sports car - the GTR is that boxy squarish looking to me. I find the Z06 to be much more attractive than the GTR, but I would still rather have my TT.

What's not to understand? You really can't fathom the fact that there are people that think the GTR is not the be all and end all of sports cars, can you? I don't like the looks. I don't like the slushbox. Period.

Not surprising when you see that the guy sucked at driving in the GT3. If the same guy drove both cars, he should be ashamed of himself for how he drove that GT3. But yet again, when the GT-R is around, no Porsche seems to be able to circulate a track without drifing.

Just watch closely the lines they follow in each car, and at the end he has a smoke cloud behind him from drifting in the GT3, you can see it after they cross the finish and show the replay.

There is really no option but for me to believe there is something ary here as this continues to happen with poor driving in the Porsches, and you can tell this guy was whipping the wheel to throw the car into a slide.

Utterly rediculous.
