Re: Top Gear - R8 vs GT-R
Thanks Andrea. Very nice read. I think the GTR will burn a hole in 997 Turbo's ego. Better twin turbos (much less lag), better AWD, better transmissions, more stable, easier to drive fast. What else more can you ask for except it does not wear a Porsche name. However, there are people who will buy a 997TT just because it is a 997TT.

Jason Barlow seemed to want to be both sides of the fence at the same time?
He praised the GTR for being cheaper, more powerful and faster, and praised the R8 for being the better drive.
He did say he was suffering badly from jet lag.

The GT-R might be fast but saying it will trouble a Veyron???
Ummmm.... No
JetLag indeed
Pretty much so. It's no faster than a 997TT in the straight, so unless Porsche released a VEyron killer in the guise of the Turbo, I just can't quite see that happening
