From a styling aspect both cars are completely different; the GTR looks massive. I love the GT3's stance and style.

"The road suddenly clears and I have a good view so I bury the throttle and.....OMGGGG holy **** this thing is fast! I mean, REALLY fast. Porsche GT3? Forget it, doesn’t have the torque. 997 Turbo? We’ll stop later and wait for it to catch up. This car is truly, sensationally fast and I have a sudden understanding when Chris Harris calls it a baby Veyron."

Does anybody else find it weird that this car can be as quick/quicker than the Turbo with less power and more weight? Either way, i'd take both... in black... If i had to choose though, GT3 because of the lack of a true stick shift.

So then the GTR is faster than the 997TT?
Is there a comparison out there between the two?

I am in love with the new GTR! Yea, it is much larger than I'd like, but then again, it's also fun throwing a fast sedan down the road. It's a modern technologically-advanced large muscle car versus the super lightweight models.

Very excellent. The two cars in white are gorgeous next to each other

I saw the GTR in person on a biz trip to Hong Kong, both on the road and passing by the dealership. The car is indeed huge for a sports car. Not used to how it looks yet...

The GTR is massive. It's even bigger than the previous gen R34 which was already big. I've seen old pics of the R34 next to a supra and it made the supra look tiny.

The GT-R has set some faster lap times with stickier tires and poor driving in the TT. There is no evidence that the GT-R is faster in a straigt line at all, the TT has run 11.6 and trapped 122, the later of which the GT-R has yet to do.

The GT3 has a more refined look and looks a lot better.

Now all the GTR needs is some exterior work and a manual tranny.

11.67 bouncing off the speed limiter of 111 mph

With that said, GT3 > GT-R

The GT-R as tested by

Nissan - 11.7 @ 119
Edmunds (at sea level in cold weather) 11.6 @ 121 (drift box)
Japanese engineers 11.8 @ 119 (or 120)

Yet it can run the same speed while 10 mph lower. Dont know what math you use, but that doesnt add up. Take a gander at the downhill slope at the end of that track.
