Porsche 997 Turbo vs Nissan GT-R at Tsukuba
 

First direct comparison between these two sportscars:

Well theres no big difference to me, but hell, the GTR looks very very big and heavy compared to the Turbo..

No big difference??? Its 2 seconds faster than the 911 but, and this must be said, 911 turbo isnt really the contender vs the GTR, I think the Z06 is a better contender since the 911 is really a luxury model where the GTR is sports oriented. And all GTRs are big and heavy, IDK if you have ever seen one but they are true japanese muscle cars.

Always top stuff mate :thumbup: I love Best Motoring, even if the "old" Supercar Battles are missing ;-)

i wonder if tsuchiya can drift it, i really hope so cuz i love that GT-R...cant wait for the lexus lf-a, i hope it turns out to be a gr8 car

thanks for the vid 8-)

Impressive to see how composed while cornering the Nissan is. Seems on rails and can really carry lot of speed into them! But as said, impressive to see how bulky it is compared to the sleek 997TT!

Z06...seriously? I've seen videos of 930 turbo's keeping up with the vette! I think the new 997 GT2 might be a better comparison, but I must admit...the GTR is definately the most BANG FOR YOUR BUCK:thumbup:

of course he can drift it i bet he could even drift a citreon 2cv:laugh:

actually scrap that 2cv drift iv tried there not even enough power

can someone tell me what best motoring or hot version this is of i got nearly all but not seen this ,i know its new cos of the super gtr which will be in next years races,great post by the way:-)

yeah i miss them too,all new ones only releasedwith jap audio so no subs,worth watching just for the cars/driving :-(..

Best Motoring always provides a bit of fun entertainment but nothing substantial in the real track tests. Why compare it with a Tiptronic Turbo, two different drivers and in all why is the GT-R not stock?

There are pics out there of the GT-R alongside a R34 and the GT-R dwarfs the R34 in size...it for sure is a pig on wheels.
