I would imagine the Porsche be more reliable.
And I know for a fact that the paint on Black GTRs is TERRIBLE. It's so soft a stiff breeze would put swirl marks on it.
Very horrible to live with.

That being said, I'd rather have a GTR to drive. Porsches are very capable, sure, but ultimately dull.

I hasten to add its not for me :( - a weekend car for my brother with some mid week duties.

Personally, I've always loved the shape of the GTR, but seeing as the 997TT is in the same price ballpark, it would take a lot of love for the Nissan to walk away from the Porker.  I think some test drives are in order!

Why change something if it's not broken and looks so bloody good

Porsche dull?? These are one of the most capable cars ever made and best drivers cars. Unlike GTR which company made Almera and Primera as well :-)

Name one thing exciting about the Porsche?

The GTR has some amazing electronics, being of the Playstation generation I find that sort of stuff really interesting, I like to see my boost pressure and G meters on a cool TV screen, and I'm in no doubt it is a faster car around a track.

At the end of the day the Porsche is just a modern twist on a flawed design, based on a VW Beetle. A very capable car indeed (as I said..??) but it does not simply excite me at all. I take the car for what it's worth rather than what other products the manufacturer make. Need I remind you Porsche make the Cayenne which is hideous.

Dude... go and drive a Porsche.. you will "get it" in about 30 seconds!  :notworthy: No doubt that the GTR is a fine machine and there are some high power ones knocking around that will show pretty much any car a clean pair of heels, but... Pork is Pork!
