It's akin to comparing a Pirelli World Challenge GT car's lap time around Laguna Seca to that of a Continental Tire Challenge GS car's time.
Exactly couldnt agree more. Silly to compare the meek little 911 S against this fire breathing turbo monster. It certainly highlights value of the GTR but its not a fair fight. Lets see how the new 991 GT2 fairs against the GTR. Or even the new 991 based GT3 when it hits the streets.

I agree that is 100% fair on the performance side, but rice side, you could have what? 2 and a half 3 GTR's? Not arguing, its just interesting. It's not like we are talking about an Aston Martin who just tries to make their Luxury cars look and kind of feel sporty. Porsche's are supposed to be very high end sports cars.

Again, sure not putting down Porsche because I’d still take the Porsche its more of a complement to Nissan!

Yeah! I'm excited to see how the new 991 Turbo will compare to the R35 GT-R. The GT-R is amazing in how it set a new standard for super-sportscar performance at great value for money.

Is Nissan working on a new GT-R now ?

na i talked to one of the lead japanese engineers and project managers on the GTR team and he said everything is focused on the next few years of the R35 and he stated it was a long ways off.


i mean there is so much going on with the R35 in the next few years i wouldnt expect protoypes until maybe 2016 or something

the persisting rumor is that it will incorporate hybrid technology and the groundwork was layed for it a few years ago in the essence prototype
