I don't understand why people get so bent outta shape of mag comparisons. Shouldn't it only matter what you think about a car? I know people are going to blast me for this, but I've never been a big fan of Porsche and/or BMW.

BTW-even funnier is the 12.1 @ 115mph 1/4 time. I believe most preproduction crazy #'s were obviously massaged to impress. I have yet to see a production GTR trap over 120mph.

This car wasn't at full strength. And it still beat the M3 and Turbo around the track.

I really thought about the buying the GTR but couldn't get past the looks and the fact it will be pretty much impossible to find one anywhere near it's $70K MSRP.

I may be wrong but i think a Porsche costs more because of all the customization one can do like different colors for different sections of the interior, etc.
I would get any of them if i had the money. If i was really roiling in the dough like in my dream last night, it would be a gt2 and a gt-r in the driveway.
As for the magazine bias, who cares. If i listened to the magazines i probably wouldn't have bought a Z

This should be a warning to all prospective GTR buyers thinking it's the ultimate supercar, with only 3500 miles the car already was developing problems. Enjoy launch control cause it seems it only has xx amount of launches in it.........then have fun trying to get this super expensive trans convered under warranty.
Oh and C&D comparisons turn to **** when BMW is involved.......I don't think a Bimmer ever loses a comparison.

G35 killed the like 13 year streak of the 3 series for that class...
as for the GT-R looks we all know they designed it from hours of wind tunnel tests which is fine with me, but i still think its a nice looking car although the 997 turbo is gorgeous...

*disclaimer* i like the gtr but to me its styling is a 1 out of 5. Id rock it any day of the week still.
