Porsche is the wealthiest car manufacturer in the world.

As we have already heard from an ex-Porsche employee, their press cars are not representative.

 

Nor do they have a car at that price range to do it with...

Which was my point.

Any links from reputable sources backing up claims of fake performance numbers? Sorry, but I can't just take it on faith. I'm one of those silly guys that just adores evidence.

 

Your statement is completely irrelevant, and has nothing to do with my previous post. Price wasn't even in my argument, and certainly not part of my counter to Chris' post. The fact that you are jumping in this far into the thread just confirms you haven't spent any time reading.

Every promotional photo, spy photo, production photo has the GT-R with the 997TT in it's shadows. The GT-R targeted the 997TT. Matched "480" hp, AWD, seating for four...does that sound like an M5? Oh please...

 

Does sub $80-85k sound like a 997?

Please...

Bob (If I may call you Bob),

For those of us who don't have $150,000 to drop on a car, money plays a small role in choosing the next vehicle. While that may not be the gist of the thread, in all fairness it can't be left out. You have to compare apples to apples Bob, unless one apple has the ***** to be able to compete with an orange. The fact that I can indulge in the taste of an orange for far less is of great importance to me. Yes, there might be flaws in that delusion of an orange, but honestly it's still just an apple. A hell of an apple.

You may return to waxing your car with a toothbrush now.

 

Again, jumping into a thread and argument that you haven't read thoroughly.

 

Please link where it distinguishes between US and everywhere else?

 

Ok, first, how did you get such a bad rep with so few posts? I want to give you negative rep just to help you in your acheivement of most neg rep points on the site.

 

Pretty much summed it up there buddy.

And second?

 

Everyone calls me Bob...


Again, you jumped into the middle of a response not directed at you. Go back and read. When you do, please point out where I made any reference to cost.

I'll have to thank Tom Cruise for the phrase..."you're being glib" And for notes...I wax using microfiber towels, and polish using a Flex.

 

UK stability control system specifications remain as for this model year's Japanese cars according to Nissan GB. My dealer confirmed that this was also their understanding.

That means the hidden, non-advertised launch function can still be accessed, if you really feel the need.

 

Word of mouth...great evidence.

 

Word of mouth? That's direct from Nissan GB. How much more authoritative could it be?

Were you expecting spy photos of the transmission software code from a mole on the production line?

 

A little sensitive, aren't we...

Here's a little help, compliments from our 996TT forums...

 

No sensitivity here. This is the internet after all.

 

4 or 5 Nurburgring tests have achieved a less than fabulous time, this includes the Driver Republic video with all the corner speed etc.
