They liked the lighter front end of the 911 because they said it needs less power assist which gives better feel... I d rather be a better driver with a 1/2 second slower car that has some driver feel than a faster lap time because of all the cars electronics and systems. Unless I was driving the track for a living,, then I ll take the faster car, LOL! No doubt they are all great cars.

 

Agreed 100%, I almost ordered a 2013 Boxster S, the steering in the 997 was much better. I knew all the magazines said it, but I did not think a novice like me would be able to tell the difference. They were not close when it came to feedback.

 

Your right.... but still wouldn't buy one.

 

You don't. Not every Nissan dealer can sell/support GT-R's. Not any/every Nissan tech can even touch the GT-R, nor service rep, nor salesman, etc...

This has been common knowledge for about 5 years (for GT-R owners).

But if that were the case, see other post regarding Ford GT (or Chevy ZR-1 + Cobalt, SLS AMG and a $30k CLA, R8V10 + A1).

All of these vehicles have unique traits that are sought after for different reasons.

 

Since I'm not in the know for GTR's my ignorance for repairs shows. I did make an assumption. But since I wouldn't own one...I guess it really doesn't matter. There is no appeal for me in this car or Corvette's.
