WOW

 

who cares , i guarantee you the gtr has alot more done then the 997.

 

I have to say that i never seen a GT3 handl this bad!!! this guy went out of his way to make it look bad.
Regardless, i think the Nissan is a good car but still not a sports car like a 997TT or a 997 GT3

 

I'm sure that 997tt is bone stock...

 

Somethings not right. Look at slow the 997 passes the SUV on its left. Is it at half throttle or something? Or the SUV is going 100 mph? Dont think so.

 

Does anyone see anything other than a VQ Motoring advertisement peddling their mods for the GT-R?

No? Then one phrase sums up this race...redline.

There's a reason why "Rickie Cruz" hasn't posted since 10/08

LOL you're right, looks like normal highway driving in the TT.

 

Yeah right. That VQ Motoring GTR is welcome to run with me any day and my 997tt isn't even that fast.

 

Still don't want one.

 

I miss the point here. Your GTR is faster than your 997TT, and .......?

 

Hi Rickie,

My question was poorly worded so let me try again. I'm not a fan of debates of one car is "faster" than another but those who are, well it's all cool, right?

There is a lot of interest, especially in the media, of which of the new cars is "faster." However, you are in a unique position to actually drive both. What I was trying to ask is if you could comment on the seat "feel" or car "connection" of driving both under different conditions and styles (i.e. performance issues vs speed).
Thanks.

530 whp with a accessport and exhaust? That's a pretty lofty claim.

What is the trap speed? That will tell us if it can really walk a 997 TT or if the TT needs the driver mods, because that was not an A for effort in that video.

 

The only gtr I ever faced was at lightning in nj, in the red group. The gtr was just a spec in my rear view mirror, not even close. Fast car but still ugly as sin.
Bottom line, a 'modded 997tt' pushing 530hp should walk a gtr all day long on the track.
Of course that vid is just some meaningless street encounter, lets see a track vid if you wanna make the claim that a gtr will walk a tt, which it won't!

I have to ask the obvious since the entire automotive world is basically laughing its **** off at the GTR tranny. Did you swap the GTR stock tranny? The video states a VQ motoring GTR walks on MOdded 997 TT. This is false advertising, as we read your statement, you clearly ran your modded GTR against a stock 997 TT.
What are you trying to prove?
The truth is the GTR is a boy racer car, its cheap horsepower and it fits the crotch rocket crowd well. The GTR residual value is horrid, the false advertising claims are ground for a class action law suit against NIssan (when you say a car can do 0-60 in X you better allow your customers to di it without voiding a warranty) and the car is butt UGLY.
There is not one guy on the 997TT board that couldn't afford 2 of them, so lets move on. No one wants it!
Those that do are after cheap horsepower, next!

 

What a great topic for a post. I mean, none of this ground has been covered before here.
