    Doesn't seem to be a fair comparison since the Turbo is a Tiptronic

    Thanks for posting

    Both cars have automatic gearboxes - it's just that the Porsche's very expensive optional auto gearbox isn't as good

    I disagree. You've said that the LSD was standard in the GT-R and that since it wasn't standard in the Turbo, it was a fair comparison. I will clunter you with the fact that the Tip isn't standard in the Turbo and the car should thus be a a manual.

    OK, then it's also not fair that the Turbo has the PCCB brakes (a VERY expensive option)

    Sorry, the driver of the 997TT should take some driving lessons. Just look at how he drives through some of these curves: Too much drift = sub-optimal lap times

    The Best Motoring videos only have one purpose: making those drivers have fun. It's a completely useless show and some the Japs always come up on top (NSX-R) .

    Don't forget that it is a japanese video with a japanese car for subject....
    And the gtr is the ultimate skyline and for a fair comparison, they should take the ultimate 997 which is......the GT2 .

    Gotta disagree there. The GT-R is a direct competitor to the Turbo. However, many journalists, while singing praise to its controlability actually thought the 997TT was faster.
