That's a matter of opinion. I was pointing out that even though the GT-R has more power the lb per hp is similar because it weighs considerably more.

No its not. They are both street legal cars. You said that more=better in that league of performance. I showed you otherwise.

Thats a matter of opinion, and i think you are wrong. To me the GT-R is just a car, it has no sense of excitement or passion around it, the Porsche is the exact opposite.

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.
we are aware that they are totally different. we just want to know which would you rather have

okay, you're right that's true. but i think you're way off base saying that the gtr has no excitement or passion around it. it's a skyline for christ sake, be it a new far changed version of what it used to be. it still has just as much heritage and "passion" as the porsche

I dont think it has passion. Its built using a lot of technology, to me that doesnt translate into passion. Porsches are very delicately crafted and have such a nice feel to them, both sitting and driving, it feels like the people who made them actually were in touch with what they did, and cared for it. The GT-R on the other hand looks like every other mass produced Japanese car, just with more gizmos. I havent driven the GT-R yet (hopefully soon), but from the photos Ive seen it all looks like a giant playstation, it just doesnt tickle me.

Thats a damn opinion! Have you driven either?? no, so shut up.
im not saying i've ever driven either of them, im looking at the solid facts, all the numbers, the price, the all around basis of the cars, i've always been a fan of skylines, never so much porsche, so yea a gtr will get me off, where as a porsche is a porsche, its a great car no doubt i just believe that the gtr is better...would you look at that, telling me to shut up did absolutely nothing.

Yea, I know. Dont state your opinion like its a fact, you just look stupid. Is the GT-R faster?? Im sure. Handles better?? No doubt. I would still never have one, to me a car is more than just how fast it can accelerate and stop and turn, its about the whole experience, and if I had the money to buy either one of them, I would never be seen in a Nissan, no matter how spectacular of a supercar it is.

yo buddy, i don't know if you know this, but pretty much all cars are built by using technology, go to some amish guy and ask him to make you a car, he won't use any technology, see how that turns out for ya

GTR would be cool for about a day, then it would be annoying how people act. The Porsche crowd is a little more grown up i would think as well.

Gonna have to disagree, the porsche looks better to me, but you're basically comparing a really hot bruette to a really hot redhead. Both really good-looking, I just have a "thing" for the look of the gt3 rs.

Its like picking a BMW to a Toyota...
Think what you want, I'm telling you they are all built like ****. So are BMWs, Hondas, and Bentleys. Crap. All of it.

when are you going to drive a gt-r? and when have you ever driven or even ridden in a carrera more than a few blocks?

*shakes head*

By your definition of passion, we should all be driving carburated datsuns.

shut up.

your integra was faster than my civic, and it was cheaper, and it had better suspension, and it got better gas mileage, and it had more jdm ****. i'd still rather have my civic. its all personal choice. personally, i'm not just going to play the numbers game. the reason you want the gt-r is because i have brainwashed you into only liking japanese sports cars, so it is your instinct as a ricer to pick the rice rocket over the hitler hurricane.

they are both great cars, in their own right.
