LOL... then DO IT! C4S more of a mid-life crisis car, but you should't really trash it as much (not that you couldn't but it doesn't fit), while GT-R is kind of a hooligan car! Honestly, I'd drive both to figure out what you like.

Really? I am 235, 6'2 and I fit perfectly even in the bucket seats. I think you fit just fine as a larger guy unless you have a larger behind which I don't have. Getting in and out of the bucket seats are a different matter though!

Both are bad *** in their own right and both come with their own set of pros/cons. I wish the GTRs weren't so ginormous. I'm also not a fan of the overly modded transformer looking ones, but then again I do like the over the top RWB Porsches, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite.

I'd take a new GTR over a used 997 C4S, but not a first gen R35 over a 997. Pound for pound, the 911 is pure sex.

As regards contemporary comparison reviews, I only know of one where the NA .2 car was compared with the GT-R...

Chris Harris (who’s broadly respected) compares a 997.2 C2S (PDK) vs. the original 480 hp Nissan GT-R (DCT), Audi R8 V8 (6MT) and Aston Martin V8 Vantage (auto-clutch)

The rest of the comparison reviews were of the later (530+ hp) GT-R models against 997.2 Turbo S models...

Nothing with that big of a fat (heavy) *** is allowed to sleep under my roof. Maybe harsh... but you gotta draw the line someplace.

There are other cars I'd have been keen to own as well (F Type R) but the weight limit is the weight limit.
