My friend paid 90k for his GTR, but that included a bumper to bumper 10 year extended warranty for 10K. I am not sure what ZR1 guy paid. However, he is getting one of the first publicly produced ZR1's. He should have the car in 2-3 weeks.

The R35 will win more if they do a best of race thing. You can't fuck with AWD cars especially with launch control in the quarter mile.

Haha this is hilarious. I used to sound like this when I was 16. I have driven porches for a daily for almost a month(like three different ones) and honestly I would rather drive my 240sx everyday to work. No one is an idiot because they prefer an R35 to a Porsche.

Which porsches? I'm sure I'd prefer my civic to a 914 or a 944, but a 996 Carrera? Or any 997? Not a chance.

I still prefer my s13 over a 997 any day. I have driven a 997 as a daily for a few weeks and that shit just isn't for me. Obviously people are not wrong for having different opinions. You should totally get a 70's 914 model and swap a 2.0 turbo subaru motor in it, I bet you would rather have that than your civic. haha

He must be used to the understeer, thats why he likes them so much....

The CGT is a terrible daily driver and makes the 996 GT3 RS look comfy. The 997 GT3 is a different story though, I would take one of those over almost anything.

Anyways, Like I said its up to the driver of the ZR1, if he can hook then the GTR will be killed. Im sure if he ran slicks then it would be over, but since thats not the case the GTR might have a chance.
