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)

#703 of 990 Porsche Forum? by 911nut Apr 11, 2008 (3:14 pm)
I am a little lost, is this a Porsche or a Subaru forum?

Replying to: habitat1 (Apr 11, 2008 1:55 pm) But I'm sure as heck not going to blindly take someone else's word for it.

I've removed a number of posts from this discussion. If you notice that yours are missing and you'd like them back, please email me and I'll send them to you. A few barely respectful posts still remain because they contain potential seeds for productive and civil discussion if cooler heads can prevail. A few other things... * Bias, subjectivity, and personal experience are valid factors in formulating any opinion. * All opinions are valued here, as long as they apply to cars. * The cars being discussed here are not Subarus. Subaru Forums are here: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.eea1a91/ What I'm hearing is that nearly everyone here acknowledges the price and speed of the GT-R, but that opinions vary when it comes to the effect that these factors will have in the the hearts, minds, imaginations, and wallets of drivers. This is something that can be discussed without getting personal. If you have any questions or comments, please send me an email.

Replying to: jim39t (Apr 06, 2008 7:12 am) Anyone else read the May 2008 Road & Track cover story (“Outrageous! Nissan’s GT-R SPANKS Porsche 911 Turbo and Corvette Z06”)? The testers thought that the 2wd of the Corvette was insufficient for the power (like trying to control a wild beast on a leash), and that the Porsche Turbo’s rear end could get unglued suddenly and make for a wild ride. GT-R wasn’t plagued by either problem, and soundly “spanks!” the other two at the track, with rather huge lap time wins. All reviewers raved about the GT-R on the track. I finally got that issue in the mail. Seeing the GT-R up next to its competitors, it's styling is actually starting to grow on me. At least in white anyway. I also like black or red. Any color but the silver they were using on all the prototypes works for that car, IMHO.
