I get way more excited seeing a F430 or GT3RS.

Even more, I get really excited seeing a R34 GTR, even though I have one in the garage.

How a car looks is in the eye of the beholder. Performance numbers are numbers and numbers don't lie though.

+1 i agree the R34 does provoke excitement, power, and the ability to( not everyone can buy one), its bullet proof compare to the tranny (in the new GTR)

It seems as thought the MAJOR advantage on the GTR is the gear box. It will be very very interesting to see how the TT will perform once it has the PDK gearbox and DI. It was amazing to see how much lower the laptimes were on the new DI PDK 997. I believe that once the TT gets both of these items you will see the GTR get a nice spanking.

competition is good. just because the GTR targeted the 911, I still don't see why the P fans hate it. They are both great cars. And have different strengths. Both cars are too heavy for my taste, and I'm not an AWD fan. "fastest" doesn't mean "funnest".

And i've heard from media friends that the ZR1 is awesome to drive. But I personally would have a hard time getting over the plexiglass hood. but from behind the wheel, I'm sure its the most fun of those 3...
