Very well written thanks for posting that. The GT-R sure is a amazing drive.

That's what it needed. A balanced write-up from a Porsche owner and lover.

I was going to get the LIGHT silver rims...

But looking at the Dark rims on the white...it seems to help get those Plastic trims to blend in...and add contrast to the car.

crap...I just have to see one with light rim and dark rim in person to decide.

Lucky man but the best colour on both cars

SmigzyGTR · 25th February 2008, 09:17 AM

Great to see the two side by side. Great write up too, thanks Cem.

Cardiff R33 · 25th February 2008, 09:38 AM

lovely read and nice to see an independent, real opinion!

Really want one more and more now!

moleman · 25th February 2008, 09:45 AM

Nice read Cem, and you didn't call it a Skyline once. lol

Nismoalex · 25th February 2008, 10:15 AM

Best review Ive read so far, and coming from someone who has personally experienced some of the finest, means that much more.

Now you've got me thinking..... how longs the wait again? 2009?

Benji Linney GTC · 25th February 2008, 11:00 AM

excellent write up Cem ! you should be working for Autocar/evo/car mag

massive thanks for letting me have a go in the legendary
Blowdog Porsche GT3, i feel pretty special to be only the 3rd person to drive her other than yourself and brother.

Rather than write a massive review you just need to look at the cheesy grin on my face to see i also loved the GT3. I was impressed it was superior to the R8 and 911 i drove but don't think i could own one, as im way too jdm.

Seeing them both together and having driven both helps you look beyond the new rivary bigged up by fan boys and journo's. They are both the greatest driver cars on the planet at the moment and both have there own unique qualities. I prefered the weight, cage and size of the GT3 but the power, box and drive of the GT-R.

Roll on the Spec-V
