Who give's a shit. Get your R35, pull up at the lights next to a (obviously) much quicker GT2, race him away and leave him standing. Then at the next set just wind the window down and say

"Yeah I know your car's quicker. You must just be a shit driver!"

And then proceed to drive to the nearest dealer to fix the transmission you just broke trying to prove a point

Whoever said anything about using launch control? Should be able to beat them pesky squished VWs any time!

Sorry John, but now you're dreaming, The 997 GT2 will destroy the GTR in a straight-line and the launch control that it has it's much easier to access, it doesn't even use any buttons,just automatically holds the revs when the clutch is depressed in 1st gear and the engine is revved. Does require that the driver changes gear though - bit old fashioned

TBH, I really don't care. If people want to get that upset then that's their choice. A lot of other people have put the two cars head to head and most have come to the same conclusion. If it was the other way around I sure wouldn't be losing sleep over it. People buy cars for more than just one statistic and I don't see the new GT-R or the current GT2 being any different

GT2 should be quicker in a straight line assuming it can get the power down.
However at anglesey it is slower.

Porsche equipped the GT2 press car with Pilot Sports Cup semi slicks in the CAR shootout.

That plus the RWD probably didn't help with traction on a slippery track.

What I can say for certain, having owned a 997GT2 (just sold it) and having driven the R35 at the GTR Acadamy, is that their overall performance is very similar, but the GTR is much much easier to drive and more confidence inspiring.

The relative price tags make it a laughable comparison anyway, My GT2 cost me £137k, my GTR will be £57k. The GT2 might be a few percent better, but at 240% of the price it damn well should be. Thats what makes the GTR so remarkable, not whether it is a few seconds faster or slower than a GT2, but that it's that close at that price.

1) I didn't start the thread
2) both my posts are in jest: a) Sony must be in on the video conspiracy. b) racing away from the lights.


Or do you mean the "who gives a...."? good grief one piece of data amongst a forest of information and everyone gets upperty. Chill!!!!!
