that's up to what you expect from the car? If you look to compete with ultimate sports cars, then get the Nissan GTR. But if that's not your point, there's nothing more prestigious than owning a Porsche IMO. Beside being a nissan, 75k is totally worth for a SKYLINE imo. And with some little mods (exhaust + ecu + intercoolers) you could easily do it around 600hp and then kick some ferrari butt :P

Most you could get out from a 4S is around 450 I guess.

So it's a question based on power vs luxury ?

For me, it's simple. Skyline.

If you have to "justify" the GTR you just answered your own question.

Personaly i would go for the porsche, but its hard to get an unbiased opinion on this and ultimatly it up to what you want and what car is going to satsify your needs and wants but again imo i feel that the porsche is the best of both worlds: luxury and speed, maybe not as fast as 75k nissan but still, its fast enough. and also i agree with KBS911, if you have to justify paying for it then you just answered your own question .

Cmon dude. You'll be sitting behind Sentras in the service drive. The Porsche experience is so much different. If you want raw power, buy the Nissan or a Z06. Seriously. But if you're looking for a drivers car that has style all day long, I'll say it again. Cmon dude.

Good luck. You know what to do.

The 09 997 could be the perfect car. The GTR reminds me of Kitt from the Knight rider show in the 80's. The Nissan belongs in the movie "The Fast and Furious" maybe painted Orange with a nitrous kit.
