Re: 997tt x GT-R Fifth Gear by Bruno Senna
FWIW by the GTR owner's admission the car tested is not stock - it has aftermarket exhaust

Re: 997tt x GT-R Fifth Gear by Bruno Senna
I agree - the 911 is beauty and performance - but there was a time when it was King of both.
I say: "Congratulations Nissan," and "step it up Porshe."
To quote the video, "...then you come to the best part of the car (the Nissan) - which is gear box. It is much faster - much faster gear changes than you can do with the Porshe."
(Porsche slower by .25 seconds over 1:45.)
Whoda thunk that the 911TT would be the main comparator for reception of the GT-R. This seems to be a very common picture.
Too bad the PDK was not available on the TT. That might have made the difference.

Re: 997tt x GT-R Fifth Gear by Bruno Senna
The Turbo is designed to be a comfortable daily driver. With the stock suspension, I am not surprised that it gets beat. 10 more cars beating it wouldn't even surprise me.
But...question that original poster might want to ponder... isn't it true that the GT-R has better time at the ring than the GT3 RS, a dedicated track car?? http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?viewThread=y&gID=3&fID=0&tID=10073
*If* true, THAT is impressive.
As mentioned in another post, if I owned current gen. GT3 RS, I would look to unload the car ASAP.
Unlike next gen. Turbo, which is +/- better than current Turbo, next gen. GT3 with more torque and no RMS problem will make the current GT3 RS very VERY obsolete. And if you don't mind PDK (which I read nothing but positive reviews so far), from purely track time point of view, wouldn't it reduce seconds off the current manual gear box GT3??
