Good comments. Nissan and Chevy have both raised the bar. That is good for all.

Nissan over Porsche? Maybe for some, but not for me. I sure would like a few laps in the GTR though.

Looked online and seen some real 1/4mile runs with the GTR mph is under 120 but the ET is in the 11.60's to 11.80 area .If anyone is interested its at:

Porsche could up the HP on the 997 its about time they put them up to 550hp as new ZR1 is up to 625.Top price for a car should be top performance.Don't really care for the look of the GTR but havent seen one up close yet.It does run good in the 1/4mile as well as handle.Will be interesting on aftermarket mods and how fast it will be.

I give credit where credit is due, both the M3 and GTR are great performance cars in their own right, but I'm so sick of reading hopped up mag reviews and looking at the "numbers"...

I can't wait till the GTRs finally get here so we can stop reading mag reviews and see what goes down on the mean streets. To all the future GTR drivers: Bring it!!!
