That the two cars are mentioned by a well known die hard and knowledgeable car enthusiast is great praise for Nissan.

This car is a winner in every way. The people who should be concerned are its target - PORSCHE. I'd take the GT-R over a 997 turbo every time. And the GT-R is probably at least 1/3 less expensive even with markups.

Don't mind Dave600hL, he's the biggest GT_R hater around so u have to take his GT-R posts with a grain of salt.

That is ironic considering your constant "go Nissan" posts, so stick to the topic and not comment on what a member may like/dislike.

People are ENTITLED to NOT LIKE something, for whatever reason(s) it maybe.

But yet... I am one of the few that have driven the car and in that respect I am commenting on my impressions. You my friend have not. So the intrest to not rehash old topics I have to agree with 1SICKLEX.

I wonder if they gave Jay the keys for a few days?

but 99% of the automtive world, all of whom are PROFESSIONAL drivers and reviewers say the 911 is one the best cars they've ever driven.
but yet i still continue to bash the car and post my "opinion" on every GT2 thread i see.

gets old doesn't it?
if i said this about the IS-F, i would be banned here. but i'm entitled to my opinion right?
