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)

I hear the transmissions are failing even faster than the brakes. They shouldn't have launch control on the car if the driveline can't handle it.

I think the point is that with Porsches you can go out and flog them all day long without any complaint, whether you have a Boxster or a Carerra GT. A lot of other companies have sports models that would be left in a steaming pile after a track day (and I include Corvettes in this bunch). These types of cars are intended to give some of the feel of a thoroughbred like a Ferrari or a Porsche for a lot less money. Something has to give. |
