2009 Nissan GT-R vs. 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo - Balance and body control of the GT-R are extraordinary through faster, bumpy bends that will have the 911 unsettled enough to make the driver lose confidence. I had a number of heart-in-mouth moments in the Turbo trying to keep up with the GT-R, even with the Porsche's suspension set to its harder Sport setting. (more)

Replying to: bigmclargehuge (Apr 10, 2008 12:53 pm) he will when the warranty expires in 3k miles...at that point, he has a few ideas with what he wants to do with it. he'll probably start doing a bit more research to see what he can get and maybe take a few weekends to play around with it. -thene Replies to this message: bigmclargehuge (Apr 11, 2008 5:26 am) thenebean (Apr 11, 2008 7:26 am) bigmclargehuge (Apr 11, 2008 10:23 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: thenebean (Apr 11, 2008 4:28 am) I have quite a few experiences modifying that engine. If I can support in any way, resurrect a 9-2x forum and post it on my Carspace page so we can reply in a on-topic forum.

Replying to: bigmclargehuge (Apr 11, 2008 5:26 am) thanks for the offer big! It probably won't be until summer time, but i'll keep it in mind. that car was a GREAT buy used - $32k brand new, we got it one year used with 13k miles for $16,999. -thene Replies to this message: bigmclargehuge (Apr 11, 2008 10:23 am) thenebean (Apr 11, 2008 12:06 pm)

There's nothing better than going from 0-60 in the low 4's in a WAGON. Best of luck with the mods! Replies to this message: thenebean (Apr 11, 2008 12:06 pm)

Replying to: bigmclargehuge (Apr 11, 2008 10:23 am) exactly - and when we need practicality (like carrying 4 kayaks on the roof, or going snowboarding) we have it! fun to drive and reasonably practical! can't beat it! -thene

Replying to: bigmclargehuge (Apr 11, 2008 3:41 am) *There is way too much bias for you to call yourself a realist. Your theories sound something like "I've driven a Porsche, therefore Porsche is best".* I'll try to write slowly so you get it. I have never written anywhere in this formum that I think that the 911 is "better" than the GTR. I can't make an intelligent claim either way because I have never DRIVEN it. But I'm sure as heck not going to blindly take someone else's word for it. I've disagreed with too many reviews once I got behind the wheel of the car myself. You think 3 performance statistics and/or company test drivers' opinions are the holy grail by which one car can be proclaimed to be "the best"? That isn't being objective, it's being ignorant. And I'd say the same thing regardless of who the "winner" was proclaimed to be. I think this forum is dead. How many opinions need to be written about reviews or opinions written by other people? For what purpose? To prove that they have spent more time READING about cars than the next guy (or gal). Putting that kind of time and effort into your day job might just raise your affordability threshold when you actually get around to buying something. Just a thought.
