Why get a GTR when you can get a Porsche?

Why get a Porsche when you can get a GTR and, depending on the model, for thousands less but can keep up, if not beat, a Porsche, again dependent on the model?

see comment below on why's it's still sitting there. the only way i would see them budging on price is if you walked in there with cash. but even then, i doubt they would take much off.

you shoulda told me 3 months ago, when i traded my 350Z for my 370Z.

lol. forgot about this post.

Let me just say this without trying to start a debate and go off topic... i think you fail to see what owning a porsche is all about and what it feels like to drive one. I initially meant that first comment to be humorous which went way over your head.

Each car has its pros and cons. I still don't understand at what point you say that the GTR will beat the 911 (depending on what model? lol) The GTR is far too automated and a kid could run it hard without too much fear of going off the road. Master the art of driving a 911 and I will shake your hand because that is one tough bitch to handle well. It embodies the ART of racing. Not just to set records on the "ring".

if you took my post as offensive, my bad, as I wasn't trying to start anything. we cool man. And I know the post you made that I responded to was out of humor, as was mine. It's like those old "my civic hatch w/ b16 swap can beat your v8!" things, where the gtr is considerably less but can keep up/beat certain higher end cars.

lol. Yeah man. I've read enough of your posts to know we are mostly on the same page. No worries. I think I was actually in a pissy mood already this morning when I stumbled on that so my bad if I seemed to respond poorly. I will always defend the 370 and the Nismo models. Still love it to death. Just wish I could fit in it easier. Too damn tall and can't wear a helmet inside. And the GTR? Give it a facelift and we'll talk. :tup:

:eek: what the....oh hell nah we aint cool no more man

haha just kidding :tup:

you really dont like the way the gtr looks? i :yum::drool: everytime i see one lol

ha! You know, I see one and I think, yeah ok, I know it is a GTR. Sweet. But then I look again and I feel like I'm staring at some nasty fat chick's ***. Like, it is so nasty you can't believe what you see but you can't look away. And then I wake up and avert my eyes before I go blind. :icon17:

I totally respect the GTR, but I would rather get a Porsche 911 Carerra S with much less power for a bit less money. That's just my preference, of course.

I hear you Angelo, 911S's are sweet. Unfortunately not really cheaper than GTR's though, base manual starts at $99k and auto is $103k and if you want any options on that S, you're above what a Premium GTR costs.

if im gonna spend the kind of money it takes to buy a gtr, then im going for the nismo model. might as well IMO.
