At least there are some Pcar peep that give prop for GTR being overwieght but yet faster car. I respect them and they truely love there car because they have no jealousy in them yet open minded.

Owners of P-Cars are not fanboys. People who talk about cars they want, but can't afford them are fanboys. In my experience, almost all the GTR advocates have been nothing but fanboys.

I still prefer my TT 6-speed though. It's all about what turns you on....not armchair racing.
How do you like your ISF so far? I absolutely love mine!!!!

Edited for the well educated P-car crowd:
Lol. I feel sorry for all the fan boys living in THEIR (jeez) own little P world. Even though it is an official time, they will not and won't ever believe it. I just don't get it. i know that a 70k msrp car beat one that is over a 100k (actually 130k), but such is life. You will never be the top dog. You don't hear Fcar or Lambo car complaining, even though they are slower. At least there are some Pcar peeps that give props (AAAARRRRHHH I GIVE UP!!!!!) for GTR being overwieght but yet faster car. I respect them and they truely love there car because they have no jealousy in them yet open minded.

Much better than a GT-R

Kidding. I absolutely love it. It is the first car that I have driven that has two distinct personalities. Luxury car in auto and beast in full manual with trac switched off.

I agree. I think it's the perfect daily driver.

I think it's good news for us...it basically means that Nissan has raised the bar and I'm sure Porsche will respond. Not that the GT-R is really a direct competitor (mostly because of the price/target audience), but it does provide similar performance and for bragging rights I'm sure we'll see some adjustments from Porsche. I can respect what Nissan has done with the performance on this car, and although I'm not a fan of the looks and would never take one over a 997TT, it's good to have competitors pushing Porsche to make their cars better.

Its an astonishing car, and itll be a benchmark to beat. It wont hurt porsche sales, but hey its a def a very sexy car(to me) and a great bargain performer. I would take it over a z06 anyday, looks alot funner to drive.
