so lets see....basically same performance as the porsche/more dependable drive train/better street city car -( porsche cannot compete from redlight get go and does not do much better on the turns/certainly for hill climbs nissan has the advantage)....and can service the nissan for less over the next 5 yrs - without leaks/drips.
plus buy 2 (1 for me/1 for the wife and a daily beater for the winter months) for same price as germanic icon.

love my porsche.... BUT thoroughly respect nissans/vette's/subaru's as more economic/equal muscle/handling (and put me on the subject of the new alfa's....even better/more dependable but not yet available here)

Some of us want a car that we can drive fast without sweating all the time, especially on the street. It doesn't mean we don't have our track toys or more involving street cars. I'm seriously thinking about the GTR, it's getting hard to ignore it.

Can't even lie, it grew on me hardcore.. I see them now, all black on black or the anthracite on anthracite wheels that I saw today made me drool, and I HATED these just a few months ago!

IMO, it's such a cool versatile car.. It would NEVER replace my abolute fun or weekend toy, but to have for a daily driver, hell even a daily plus track car if you HAD TO only have one? I think I would take it over a 997TT... I'm really thinking about a GTR for the daily purpose.

Can you do a breif comparo between gt3 and gtr(both in stock form)

i had a 997tt tip but i prefered the gtr more. i will not be tracking my gt3 so just need an opinion from someone who has experienced both cars as DD.
thanks

you can buy two GRTs for price of one GT2..... and you will only have 2 GTRs.

I recently sold my GTR. I also have an E92 M3. Had one trackday this year and was with my buddy with a Cayman S. I figured I would have more fun in the M3 sparring with my friend, heel toe, trying different traction control settings, shifting etc. More sport in motorsport for me. Do I regret never taking my GTR to the track, HELLS YES. Now if I knew there were going to be a bunch of DSG cars there and throwing strong lap times, I would have brought my GTR no doubt. Daily driver, no. After three months of trying, I got the M3. So much better as a daily. Ride is just too harsh. the 2011 GTR is supposed to fix that and most guys are loving their snow tires which from what I hear significatnly takes the harshness away from the GTR. I'm glad I owned it but it's time for a GT3. Me like shifting

I just prefer the no nanny do it yourself and purity of the GT3 on track. As a road car I would take the nissan over the 997tt, for price and gear box, now solved with pdk. I got a more comfy CL 65 instead. Useless on track.

Auto - Turbo is great for the street, for track manual - NA.

thanks, though what i really wanted to know was the ride harshness between the gt3 and gtr on the street?

anyone here read the gt2 vs zr1 test in the current usa excellence mag? surprised the porsche sites havent imploded yet

^ Yes; The Traqmate data was pretty cool. While I get the point of stock to stock, I would have liked to see the the cars run with track rubber on (only mod). While JVO was surprised by their 'performance', the run-flats on the ZR1 had to be just awful out there..
