Oh, I'm not debating the ability of either car. The GT-R costs 25k to get into the 9's...

No insider information required. We all know what the specs are. I don't doubt at all that 911 can be made to go even faster than a GT-R. That wasn't what I saying. In fact, the OP already mentioned that because the GT-R can't go much above 200 mph, this isn't the ideal car for him.

 

Ahh good point. Yeah you are correct about the 200mph. It has passed that and if they would have turned up the boost even more it would have gone faster.

I do like the GT-R, don't get me wrong. It's a very cool car, but I still love Porsche. Although soon as I can I'm jumping into the Lambo boat! I don't like to use my car to pick up girls, etc.. But it's just like Porsche is almost a status symbol which sucks sometimes others it's good.

 

^ lol! UR Lambos are in another league.

The fastest I've heard a GT-R run in the standing mile is ~203MPH because of bigger tires and a software adjustment to raise the rev limiter in 6th gear.

A few GT-R's bounce off the rev limiter wayyy before the end of the mile at speeds around 195mph. Until there is a final drive or something, we won't see any speeds higher than that.

 

It was 205 at the Texas Mile and it was ran by Justin Nenni of Tuning Concepts (his customers car) and was built by Boost Logic and it was a stock motor with extended rev limiter on a lower amount of boost than the car normally runs on race gas.

 

If you want to get the GT-R, wait another 2-3 years. Most likely, it'll hit $30's very soon.

 

Not bad. Isn't the record 997TT 206mph on the TX mile? I think it was VividRacing's.

Considering the GT-R is 2 years newer than the 997TT and the VR38 is brand new compared to the Metzger GT1 motor, this isn't half bad. I'm sure someone will really step up the game once they spend enough dough on a GT-R setup for the mile.

 

Not sure about your claim here...

VERY few of the '09's have sold for high $50's because if somebody financed an '09, this is almost exactly the amount remaining on the loan, and this person wants out (for whatever reason) without any penalties.

Most of the GT-R's are averaging $65 (private sale) to $70k+ (dealer sale). Not bad for a 2yr old car that sold for around $73k MSRP new.

So based on this trend (and older GT-R trends, along with Nissan's trends) i don't see what you base this on. Please educate me.

(Unless you're speculating that people who've paid on the car for 4 years, suddenly wants out will become the norm)

Here is a '10 with low miles you could probably get in the high sixties and it's at a Porsche dealer. MSRP was 84,720

Don't get me wrong, I hope the prices come down - so I can buy a second one for my wife. But these aren't the norm. Yes, we all know the MSRP of the 2010's (there is only one paying option - iPod mount). Not sure why you mentioned it... If you want to get technical the '09 had two MSRP's, but I'm sure anybody who bought one (or was in the market) knew this already.

I found a 997 C2S for $35k. Doesn't make it the norm. And there might even be something 'fishy' about the car. We won't know until it's purchased.

 

I call BS (unless you are 60 yrs old and married, but even then...)

 

Dude no joke I've picked up more girls in my Z71 then the Porsche. Even back when I had my C5 6 years ago I actually got the girls in my 93 Blazer (the version that was the Tahoe body style) that was on 33s with a little lift.

For some reason the girls just aren't the biggest Porsche fan!

 

Well if you quit cruising your Porsche through the woods, maybe you will pick some up, of course the woodland critters loved the jacked up blazer....

Location Location Location!

 

**** son... I prefer my women from the trailer parks... Those girls are wild!!!

 

So that was you that let the Chupacabra out?

 

Yes I did. It was difficult to catch... BUT I wasn't going to let Science kill it!
