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.

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

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.
