Driving Impressions: New 911 S vs. Z

Actually the GTR smokes the GT3 at the track....You nailed it.

So you are right...But I too would like to see it race a year on the circuit to see how it holds up..

What would I buy ? They are both great...I couldn't say unless I drove them both.. And the reliability is still an issue..

But time will tell....

For the money the GTR is a great car. I just can not stand car manufacturers who charge above and beyond what a car is really worth, the GTR is not one of them.
If i had the money what i probably would buy is the Jag F type used.

Other than the understeer problem, they say the GTR chassis could handle more power..

I am with you on the used thing....I test drove and almost bought a low miles AMG E class for one third the price....Some people buy these type of cars like the Jaguar F and never really drive them, let alone drive them hard...Let them take the new car price hit....Then buy it at 40% to 50% off.

Brand New ? Only if I hit the Lotto. High end cars drop price like a rock....I just worry about the reliability of the GTR...I heard rumor if you put it in Sport mode and with the Traction off, it voids the warranty ? That would suck...But I don't know if that is Internet lies..

that was true with the early models but Nissan has made adjustments, so it is not a problem now.
As to using the power of these cars, you should come to Melbourne Australia and see how bad our police state is, if you 3km/h over the limit they ping you with speed cameras.......revenue raising capital of the world!
