Default 997 TT or Nissan GTR

This is a video posted at You Tube of a head to head racing of a 997 TT vs a Nissan GTR. Waht do you think guys? I think it is a setup for showcasing the GT-R. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gRaO...eature=related

It's just like the Z06 vs. 997TT threads... Either you want the whole package (TT) or you want the performance for the $$ (GT-R/Z06/etc).

All a personal choice... In my present situation, I'd be smarter (less financial damage) if I kept my RS4 and added the GT-R. The 997TT would be smarter if I just want one car.

if you listen to the commentators in a different clip (#3), the 997tt is on street tires, the GT-R likely on r-compounds (the exact term they use is 'one rank better' tires in Japanese)...

hey guys, FYI - the guy in the 911 is driving a TERRIBLE line. At least a second slower then if he drove the proper line. Hes over-driving it into the turn, and not getting the proper exit speed to carry him down the straights.
