One thing I have too say, even if I had the money for one of those two cars I wouldnt even buy them.

I wonder how many 997 Turbo's I can get for the same price of a Carrera GT.

If I had the money for one of them, I'd pick the SLR... If I had the money for both, I'd have both

haha. I guess Im the complete opposite. If I had the money for either of those two, the 997TT wouldnt even be anywhere on my radar of cars to buy. As crazy as it sounds, its not even in the same league IMO. Well, it could be a nice beater or daily driver.

Only exotics that should be on the road are ... Koenigsegg, Bugatti and a couple others.

One thing the 997 Turbo does 0 - 60 in almost the same time as the CGT and is like what 10 mph slower lol plus it has semi-auto geat box of sorts the 997 Turbo

It would be the CGT for me. I like a more distinctive look than the SLR. Plus it has the V10 going on under the hood
