Anybody comparing the R35 GTR to the Porsche 911 – in Australia – must not have brain. The Porsche costs heaps more. The GTR is a relatively affordable supercar made by Nissan to appeal to those who can’t fork out more money. Porsche(s) are made as supercars with lesser regards to affordability.

I still go for a Porsche too. It cost yes $90,000. Can it do it for 24h?? In May is the 24h Nurburgring race. Porsche is always doing well there it last the 24h. Let see if the GTR can do it!!

ur joking right… 160k, whats the equivilent porsche? and how does it match up… a boxter? performance wise where does it fit against the GTR? and looking at the price in the US… its a steal for a supercar.

The GTR is more pure as a drivers car, sure its not that brand wow factor as a Porche but the people buying this wont typically think of ‘look at me’ as first choice more likely ‘look at me beat you’.

As for beating the GTR, if you can make a half a million dollar car, it shouldnt be hard for porche to make a faster one, but let them try to build something that they can sell at the same price as the GTR, I don’t think Porche will be ready to do.
