Which one would you pick: New Nissan Skyline GTR vs. Used 997 GT3

It is funny how when I noticed you made this thread I knew this wasn't a joke and you could actually afford these cars. Others have made cars that are most likely out of their price range .

I have the ability to pick up one of these cars for cash because I've really tightened the belt with my finances since mid-2008, but there's no way I'll do that since I can get a 2.99% Penfed 5-year car loan. I want to keep the total out-the-door cost under $100k.

I'm not looking for a luxury daily driver. That's what the M is for.

GT3 hands down. Its a damm sexy gentlemens race car. Sure the GTR is a BEAST and demands respect on the streets but it too childish in my eyes. Get some center lock wheels on there if you do get one

I know people with porsches that have nothing but problems, this stopped me from buying a cayman s a couple weeks ago....

But back on topic, if I HAD to chose from the gtr or gt3 I'd get the gt3 only because I hate how the gtr has a black box and driving it how it was designed to be driven voids the warranty...

I just don't know if I'm ready for a Ferrari at this point in my life. They seem more like garage queen cars that you baby and drool over. I'm looking for something that I can hit the track with and ride hard & put away wet.

The maintenance on the 996TT that I owned for 3+ years wasn't bad at all (not that much higher than maintenance for an M3). The mods, well the cost of those were a different story... Good thing for me is that I know a really good indy Porsche shop in Vegas and one in Orange County.

I've never been a fan of either Porsche or the GTR's styling, but the GTR already looks dated in the front and will only get worse over time.

I say Porsche.

I know that this is an 2007, but I'm gonna go test drive this baby on Saturday. I spoke with the owner earlier this evening and he sounds like he babied the hell out of this car:

cmon... you shouldn't have even been asking this ?... P car is a true drivers car...sharp, amazingly balanced, timeless looks...etc... like previously mentioned.. the Nissan is 10 pounds of shyt in a 5 pound bag....

JUST GO TURBO

The first gen GTR35's have mad tranny probs if you turn traction off, and your warranty is void too. The 2011 GTR's are supposed to get straight cut gears . I see Porsche's every where in my town, rarely a GTR.

Gt3

That car looks amazing. Also, congrats on achieving the American Dream!

USC - Ask syncwireless, if I remember right he owned a GTR and didn't like it as he wanted a drivers car. It would basically drive you or do everything with ease and take the fun out of it. I think he was buying some kind of roadster or smaller coupe.

Brand new Cayman S and 240sx SR20DET for fun.

this site loves Porsche.

Looks like a deal, wonder if you can still get it CPO'ed on a private sale. You make me want to get a Porsche.
