I spent Christmas with a Porsche owner.

Passed a GT-R on the road today, looked like a Camry! I'd rather have three 370Z's!

Z looks much better than the GT-R.

The GT-R isn't exactly a real looker but to compare it to a Camry is just silly

Subjective forsure but I do agree with you

Came out of restaurant yesterday night and found several people look over and into my car while a GTR was parked 2 or 3 spots down!

have to say Zs really stand out. Especially on a bright color

I see more GT-Rs then I do 370s around here..and I don't see GT-Rs all the time either lol.

*Relevant comment* 911s are awesome

The Z definitely has a totally different look than the gtr. People who know nothing about the 2 cars would probably consider the Z sportier looking. I'd even say its "sportier" looking in some ways. I love my Z to death, but give me a gtr in a strait up trade and I'm taking it all day every day and twice on Sundays. Also I think I've only ever seen 3 total gtrs out in the wild in my life.

If you want a REAL shock, go to Porsche's website and price a 918. I about had a stroke.

axmea?

Let's not go overboard here. Where is the humility? To think our Z's are better than the GTR and the 4s and then downplay and compare it to a Camry is ridiculous. Too funny.

Depends on the comparison, I was talking looks. Performance, well that would be a silly comparison.



For consideration and pot stirring-ness, I looked up exterior dimensions on a new Camry and the new Nismo GT-R and they are only a few inches apart on height, width and length.

I'd take a GTR over the 370 or Porsche 4S any day of the week!

Id rather have a GTR than Cayman/Boxster/Base Carrera. Id rather have ANY Carrera S, Turbo, GT over the GTR though.

I've never been a fan of Porsches or any other German brand. Some are real performers but the majority just don't appeal to me.

I get hot and cold on Porsche. I guess I'm not sure that if I'm in to buy something in the GT-R price range that it's got the same pedigree or maybe the word is more like panache that a Porsche has. I think it's awesome that Nissan is able to produce such a car, and I know they've had them in Japan far longer than here. If we compare it to buying stocks, I would say that buying a GT-R is maybe small cap or something slightly riskier vs. buying a Porsche is more blue chip for the same money. In other words, if I spend X amount for one of those cars, which one is going to hold it's value? Maybe b/c I'm not in the market at that price range I feel like it would be too much to spend to be considered anything other than an investment. At the 370Z price range, that's not such a big deal.

I like Porsche.
It seems like Porsche kind of makes junk though.
Their cars are nice for 2-3 years, then the engines randomly blow up and/or leak oil.

I think Porsches are incredible sportscars. They are the better car, objectively. The problem is just one of price:sport ratio. A lot of Porsche owners can't really afford to have fun in a Porsche (as in drive it like it's meant to be driven and track it regularly). If you've got the kind of bankroll to really afford abusing and tracking a Porsche, then yeah go for it. But if you can just barely afford to buy a nice Porsche but then you have to baby it and worry about it and never really push it.... yeah, you're gonna find yourself wishing you had a cheaper Z that you could afford to tear up the pavement with.
