Driving Impressions: New 911 S vs. Z

Bucketlist2012

Unknown 370Z to me is known for great posts.. He states that to post that to say the 911 is better as a fact is being bold and maybe more opinion or preference...I agree.

Then Nick comes on and says that the GTR is measurably superior and that is a FACT just re enforces my post....It is preference and opinion and not Fact....

Have the GTR's gone out on the circuit and dominated the 911's yet ?? I am not a Porche owner or could care less, but to claim the GTR is better and it is a Fact, is again Bold to say the least.

OMG! Guys just go onto youtube or read any car mag and you will find/see that the GTR is faster, quicker, has more grip, is faster around a circuit, brakes faster etc. This is not speculation but measured time and time again. So in every performance category that can be measured the GTR is better, and that is a fact. Now, as to "feel" that is another story, as i have said before. So before you diehard porsche fans respond go and do a little research.

Additionally, the 911 platform is considered to be a flawed design, due to the engine hanging out behind the rear axle causing all sorts of lift off oversteer issues, although Porsche through various ways has tamed this trait.

now, lets see what interesting responses i get.

No one argued the GTR wasn't faster. Yes it is faster than a 911. But that doesn't mean it's better.

Please stop your pointless argument. I know you love cars and read lots about them, we all do, thus you don't need to regurgitate stats on cars we are all very familiar with.
