nope. those cars are such different machines. on paper, they might look similar, but there is a certain "feeling" that cars give you. kinda hard to explain.

for instance: if you push a gtr too hard into the corner, it will have loads of grip then eventually start to understeer letting u know you're pushing it too hard, a 911, on the other hand, will have loooooads of grip followed by promptly spinning and putting u *** first into a ditch.

now thats a terrible example, but its the only thing i could think of to explain the difference in a drivers car vs a gtr. both will get thru the corners very quickly, but that certain element of danger in the back of your head in the 911 adds a little excitement imo.

now i'm not saying the GTR is a bad car or anything. hell i'd drive one, but i do understand why people say they are big video games

That was what I noticed about the 911 I drove. The car tends to 'lead' from the rear, it's real easy to crack the backend loose, kind of like the old AC Cobras. I couldn't upset the Cayman since it's mid-engined. I'd like to take a GTR out for a drive, just to see what I'm missing.
