I’m sure it’s “cheap yankee garbage” that will be kicking foreign car’s asses all over the roads.

Jealousy is a bitch, is it not?

In all cases the GT-R has been quicker. Nissan used the optional Dunlop tires for their record on the Ring.

I think it should be done as an all out battle with a factory Nissan driver and a factory Porsche driver. Then after porsche dominates that, have them do an endurance race where, I have a feeling you'd silence much of the hype around this. I'll give the nissan lovers that the Gt-r might be a good value and a car easier for bad drivers to drive well. @ Brent - Porsche Turbo has been AWD since 1996.

I don't think it's the tires - Porsche probably needs to go to all-wheel drive and stop trying to shave weight.

I did not believe a car so heavy, with less power could keep up with the ZR1 on the straights. Stickier tires and maybe a little boost increase could have been used and easily hidden.

Wow, that's a good deal ;) So for $60,000 the GT-2 is only 4 seconds quicker than a Turbo. Wow, that’s a good deal ;)
