Hi all,
I have been lucky enough to score a free test day here in NZ with the official Porsche test team and the new 2002 Porsche range. IT's 12 hours long including lunch, dinner afterwards, but it's basically 30 minutes or so in each car with these testers and also 4 local race car stars.
They've got all of the cars from 911 Carrera, 911 Turbo, GT2, GT3 and even a GT1 which is pretty rare.
The day is only for non Porsche owners looking to find out what they're like and no doubt to tempt you into a purchase. I own a Porsche Boxster already but it's for my wife so I was allowed to get in. I've never driven any other real supercar before so I'm looking forward to comparing the 2.
Sorry for the blurb, but the topic is really to see if any of you guys out there have got any real world comparisons to other supercars to the GTR.
I'm assuming the comparison should be between lightly mod'ed GTR's 400-450 HP, not really fair to compare otherwise.
I know most others are 2 seater Vs 4 and all that, just wondered if 355's, 360's, 911's, Diablo's etc etc are real world, live with all day supercars like the GTR.
Does the torque compare ????, Noise, that wonderful noise ????
That sorta thing.
Interested to hear your comments.
