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)

this puts the nail in the coffin. for anyone that still wants to claim the z06 and 911 TT still has a chance of achieving times like the GT-R on the track. or can even rival it for that matter http://www.nissaneurope-newsbureau.com/nissanmedia/front?controller=SubRubrik&id- =nissan_europe_press_room_10772091931250/news_and_events_10772871591872/presse_r- eleases_10781508884370/corporate_10781511772180&pubId=gt_r_achieves_under______a- t_nurburgring_12095056384513968

Replying to: 240ka (May 01, 2008 8:26 am) I can't even imagine how fast the V-spec is. I wonder if they deleted the A/C and radio or if all the weight loss is due to carbon-fiber panels. Either way, 150kg is a lot. And while the slowest GT-R is faster than the fastest Porsche... You ain't seen nothing yet! The 'sporty' ones are on their way. Guaranteed.

Replying to: bigmclargehuge (May 01, 2008 10:21 am) maybe Nissan created the GT-R with the intention of it being heavy. they way they can continue to up the ante when someone tries to take their crown. by simply trimming fat. and at 3900lbs there is alot of weight to take i cant imagine you can trim that much weight from the 911 TT. for the z06, i think adding weight would be beneficial for aiding the vette in gaining traction

Replying to: 240ka (May 01, 2008 11:31 am) Alzen created a '996 GT2 Turbo 4WD' by lightening the 996T to GT2 levels. It still holds the record as the fastest Group A Porsche ever to lap the full Nurburgring (not just Nordschlieffe). That's what the Turbo should have been. Or create a 'GT4'. There's no reason why tubbing out the Turbo to spartan levels wouldn't make it faster. I find it odd that GT3 fans diss the Turbo for being heavy when it comes with stuff... that has been removed on their car. There's an easy fix to that.  With the Vette I think the most important thing is to switch to coilovers. They can't be that much more expensive than leaf springs.

Replying to: bigmclargehuge (May 01, 2008 1:13 pm) the GT-R is one nasty mother. the nail will be put i nthe coffin on the GT2 also. Nissan is really beating porshe up at their own game. porsches walking away from fights with black eyes and broken bones while Nissan walks out without even breaking a sweat. and for the Z06 only being 3000lbs, and have 505bhp and two seats. its should perform ten times better than it actaully does |
