the thing about this is that nissan used the porche as the bench mark so they aimed for it as soon as they beat it put it on the market.big deal we all know porche is dedicated to performance so in the near future their going to release another car that can whip its ass not to mention the fact that they are comparing a 911 tt to the gtr because they are relativly equivalent in price and power train but porche has the GT that will dominate.YoMamma is an idiot it is better in value because you cant find a running base 911 for less than 10 grand

Hi all,
Porsche is a beautifully engineered vehicle with much fan fare but an average car driver and would never use all that power and muscle. I recently purchased a sports car –> Lotus Exige S which was half the cost of the Porsche. I just love it. European car with a Toyota built engine.

Yes Nissan used a porsche to be their bench mark. In the recent Road and Track the porsche and corvette Z06 are about a tenth of a second quicker to 60 but the GTR spanked them around the race track.

Isn’t that Nissan testing its GT-R with Porsche on the track? It simply implies Porsche is a benchmark in the class. Porsche will never think about including a Nissan in its test. It will be rediculous.
Isn’t that Nissan GT-R’s front grill looks much like a Mitsubishi latest EVO. Also heard that all parts come from different parts of the world. They should have got their GT-R logo contracted from Porsche. Anyways…ridiculous emblem.

Dear fellow car fans

I have been reading all the comments and are amazed at what I hear. You must remember that the Nissan and Porsche are aiming for 2 totally different markets. The Porsche has all the prestige, racing heritage and attention to detail, where the Nissan GTR is more about the balls to the wall hardcore racer. Yes, Nissan would like to incorporate a lot of the Porsche in the Nissan, cause it is a proven concept, but as the Japs have all way done, is bringing you a quality product for a better price.

Give each car what it deserves. Respect.

wow… hahaha this is hillarious a bunch of loosers trying to compare a nissan to a 911(the most decorated race car throughout history). yes the new gt-r is a nice car but please…spare me your comparisons. its on the same level as a 911 tt, and it never will be.

P.S and honestly what car would you rather be rolling around in..PORSCHE!! HANDS DOWN

you know i am a huge fan of the Porche BUT when you have a NISSAN that can hang with a Porche…….WOW…… and after looking at the new Skyline…..i think it can spank a Porche’s ass……

hey guys…. it’s not much about fighting over these cars… it’s just everyone’s preference

first of all… i would give me choice, which definately has to be the GT-R… yes NISSAn GT-R (it’s not skyline as some of u call it… it’s only NISSAN GT-R)

skylines have always raped the porsches - even in the early 1989 when the r32GT-R skyline was first made….. the japanese have always envied porsches, so in 1989 they built the r32GT-R just to beat the then super car porsche 996 (not sure about the number, perhaps it’s 966)

take the fact guys…. and accept it, the japs have always been better thn we westerns… we have not yet realized the potential of these eastern japs…

p.s. do u all know, the GT-R has beaten bugatti-corvette-and many other cars time in the nurburgring (or whtever the spelling are)…. the GT-R was some seconds faster thn the bugatti !

now u decide which is better… a cheap cut-price supercar-slayer…. or an extraordinary ugly looking porsches…

peace,
cheers,
GT-R !
