I'm not sure anyone here wants to hear this but the reviews on the new Nissan are quite good. The stats earily similar- 530 hp, awd, double clutch tranny making for sub 3 sec 0-60 runs that are repeatable and covered by the warranty. Only big difference is the price- 1/2 as much. For those of us where 170 K isn't small change...

It's still a Nissan. So, meh... To me, $170K on a Porsche is money better spent than $90K on a Nissan.

I can't speak for owners here, but I bought my S less for the numbers but more for the feel and look of the 911. An impossible childhood dream come true!!

 

^ Wow. Can't argue that logic (completely dismissing standard features, performance, money, etc...).

The GT-R is proving to be quite a formidable car.

 

here we go again.....

 

Same concept, but I don't recall any discussions here between the Turbo S and 2012 GT-R.

I think these two are very closely matched, no?

Both 0-60: ~2.9 secs ... GT-R 2.8secs Turbo S 3.1 (as advertised, actual time, I believe, was either 2.9 or 3.0 for the Turbo S).
Both DCT
Both AWD
Both Top speed 196mph
Both 530HP

I mean, how much more equal can you get?

 

I will get some popcorn, do you want?

 

Wasn't regular turbo getting 2.8 with PDK?

Road and Track tested the 2011 911 Turbo S.

0-60 in 2.6 sec
0-100 in 6.3 sec
10.7 @ 128.9 1/4 mile

So there, turbo s wins

 

Moving this to the GT-R to prevent any more hurt feelings in the 997 section.

 

Nevermind. I was going off of Porsche's claimed time along with another review. I think the Nissan's best is only 2.88 (or something like that). I didn't see this as a win/lose thing (I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings). For those of you that need it - 2.6 seems quite fast.

 

Not your fault. Someone reported it so it was moved.

 

As for me, I am really glad Porsche was notably intimidated by the original GT-R which motivated them to improve their 911 TT-S stats. Now we see that drivers of both automobiles have won!

 

Sorry if I posted to the wrong forum. I was wondering if I forgot to hit the submit button. I did not even know ther was a GT-R forum.

Actually I wish this was still in the GT2 997 Turbo forum as it is much better visited, And I was indeed looking to stir up a little controversy, but more specifically get the opinions of people who had driven or ridden in both.

never one to add to these post but the fact is, a Porsche will always have value. in fact, if a Porsche is in great shape its worth can be 30k plus many decades after. yes that nissan is a fast car, but Porsche is personality type, not just a fast car. in ten years that nissan will be worth 15-20k max. nissan will never have the prestige of any porsche, never.. and 100k is not cheap.... just my 10 cents... but that car is fast!!!

 

pass me some. imma grab me some snickers while im at it.
