i can't bring myself to trust best motoring, I mean yea , sure the gtr is probably a lil quicker but did anyone look at teh lines the Porsche was taking...they were awful, he was sliding half the time and just taking horrible lines...

The GT-R has to be underrated to pull on a 911 Turbo in the straights like that. Man, wait until the tuners get ahold of it!

[speedraver]

In the final race the R35 was told to start with a 2-second handicap behind the Porsche.

The two drivers at the end compared notes and the Porsche driver said the biggest difference was the GTR's ability to hold the corners and accelerate hard out of them. That's where the gap opened up every time; there was nothing he could do about it.

I don't consider BM a credible source for such races. Anyone who saw the GT3 video understands

Either way, the GT-R looks great. Definately very balanced.

I don't get it - are they both running in AUTO? Or is the porsche using auto tiptronic, against the GTR's double clutch? The latter would be rather unfair...

[monkey]

Ok, it looks like they were both in manny-auto mode... And looks like porsche version may not be so bad...

(Taken off the web...)

The 911 Turbo has two transmission options—a 6-speed manual or Porsche's advanced 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission. For the first time in a Porsche, acceleration is actually quicker with the automatic than with the manual transmission.

However, performance figures are impressive with either transmission. When equipped with the 6-speed manual, the 911 Turbo reaches 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds; 99 mph arrives in 8.4 seconds. The Tiptronic S transmission brings the 0-60 mph time down to a mere 3.4 seconds, with 99 mph showing up in 7.8 seconds. Top speed with either transmission is 193 mph. Definitely supercar territory.

The Tiptronic S also features what Porsche calls Fast-Off and Fast-Back. Fast-Off prevents the transmission from upshifting if the driver lifts off the gas pedal abruptly, keeping the car in the appropriate gear during spirited driving. The Fast-Back function downshifts automatically if the driver lifts off the gas and applies the brake—even slightly—within 1.5 seconds. The idea is that when braking for a turn, the car will be in the correct gear for exiting the turn with the highest performance. According to Porsche, Fast-Back shortens the reaction time of that first downshift while braking by approximately 30 percent.

It was interesting to hear professional racing drivers such as David Murry and Hurley Haywood say they actually prefer the automatic transmission to the manual. Many enthusiasts would consider that sacrilege. But Murry explained that it can shift faster than the driver, it downshifts when it needs to, and therefore there's no reason not to opt for the Tiptronic.

wow....go gtr....the turbo drift too much cause the heavy weight of the engine in the back.

Ferrari has the best engine
Ferrari has the best transmission
Ferrari has the best electronics
Ferrari has the best design
Mercedes has the best supercharger
Porche has the best chasis



Apparently Nissan has the best AWD.




Still amazed that Nissan made a pig fly.

Looks like YouTube clips are taken off. Good thing I got to watch them before they dissapeared. I would buy that BM volume anyways, it's amazing. Now they need to pit the GT-R against the R8, F430, Z06, Gallardo and SL65.


GT-R vs Porsche Turbo vs F430 vs R8 vs Z06 vs Gallardo vs SL65.

GT-R V Spec vs Porsche GT2 vs F430 Scuderia vs R8 TDI V12 vs Gallardo Superlegga vs SLR.

you should forward that to motor trend, instead of the stupid comparos they normally do like the srt-4 vs m3, or lambo vs ford focus vs dodge caravan gt.

it would be nice if they actually compared apples to apples. nice line-up.
