If someone came to me and said - here, pick one, for free, I'd pick up the Porsche. I won't be driving this car balls to the wall 24/7 around the track, I won't be drag racing every time I get in it - most of the time when I drive it, I'll just be driving it. For that reason I'd much rather be sitting in the Porsche, for the name, the image, the prestige, it's a Porsche GT3 RS man. Good god.

thats kinda backwards. I feel like only car people would respect a GTR. Normal people would just say "oh, its a Nissan" where as those people see a friggin boxter that could be parked next to TT supra and say "OMG OMG A PORSCHEEEEEEE"


Either way I don't do it for the attention factor. I'd rather not have anyone notice what I'm driving at all.

More = Better is a typical ricer attitude. Nuff said.

Orly?? Sorry but I feel way more quality in a Carrera rather than a 350Z, and both can be had for about the same money used, granted the Carrera will be older with more miles, but its a Porsche that I probbably wouldnt drive daily anyway.

Its like picking a BMW to a Toyota...

and i will say it again.


the Porsche GT3 RS and the Nissan GTR are not in the same league.

Sure they both perform very well... but they are not the same type of car, not in the same price range, and have very different "auras" about them... so they can not be logically compared.

more equals better is a ricer attitude if you're talking about a neon and a civic. not when you're talking about two car gods. they obviously both handle unbelievably well, so in this instance more does equal better. and nothings up i just had to join this so clay wouldn't brainwash everyone into voting his way

No it was just a league comparison. I see the Porsche being WAY higher class than a Nissan, ANY Nissan.

Sorry man but i dont recall him saying that he preffered the Porsche, nor telling us to vote that way. There are a lot of cars that offer less and give back more, compare performance on an Ariel Atom and a Corvette for example, compare the features (or lack of in the Atom). Then tell me that more is better.
