I'm fully aware of how legendary the GT3 RS is, I mean aside from E92 M3's and Mk3 Meganes, I dare say it's one of the most regularly seen cars at Nurburgring. I think to take the R34 GTR Nismo and compare it, for one of the guys to comment 'This is a race car' as he's doing the fast lap in the Porsche, it's quite an achievement for the GTR to be within striking distance, 1/4 mile - faster, every day ownership, I think they were wrong here as in my opinion 2 extra seats, a whole useable boot, actual door handles not straps, they listed the interior finish as a bonus in the Porsche but if I ever agreed to spend £800 on painted air vent surrounds... come on guys. I'm guessing this episode was aired in 2020, the R35 has reached the end of its life now, the Nismo is a final tribute and I'd take that all day long over the GT3 RS, as nice as it is.

I own a GTR RS 4.0. I love my car but I have to say I disagree with A LOT of things they said and how they drove the gtr nismo. You don’t drive that car like a normal car. You just point the nismo where you want it to go and the electronics will magically just make the awd system do what it has to do. On a normal car you feel it’s limits limits. With a gtr it can do what you don’t think it can. Watch how the drug drives the gtr and it’s not even a nismo and it’s much older. Faster than the zonda Where it understeers you just turn the wheel more and floor it. And the car will work it out. You push it past the limits you think any car is capable of going. It’s a very unique experience. Also, 7k for carbon brakes. Hahaha. No. I wish. It was 20k for carbon. I wish it was 7k.

Almost equal power/weight ratio. Gt-r being heavier means it accelerates better, better top speed and the awd also helps pulling off. Then on a racetrack the gt3 is a bit faster by 1-2 s so the gtr is remarkably fast considering it’s so heavy.

Engine placement makes a huge difference in acceleration and handling. The Porsche gt3 rs is rear engine and rear engine cars get off the line much better and takes corners more responsibly but more prone to oversteer as well.

Better the same driver for both cars, Because one is a pro racing, the other one not ! So this is the most unfair part ! When Bruno Senna was driving the GTR, he won for example !

[@MrRedRye]

Might want to do your research. Both are pro racing drivers and Plato is certainly better than Chandock. There was no way that GTR was going to beat the GT3 RS no matter who was driving it

[@kindface]

How accurate is the drag race when both of you are guessing when to start? Why not get someone to flag off a start?

[@Tachyon836]

I'd still pick the GTR. I can only have one car and honestly I'd prefer it as my only car. I've dreamed of it for so long. I'm settled with a tuned BMW for now, but eventually the GTR is coming

[@FAT8893]

Jason's right, it's hard to justify the Nismo's price tag since it doesn't change much from the original and also isn't special enough. Even if I'm not a JDM fan, I would buy the older GT-R R35 and get myself a tuning kit.

[@carlosoruna7174]

Or buy a base model and spend 70k properly 😂

[@krihanek117]

The Porsche engine sounds amazing.

[@AnthroGearhead]

Everyone just complains about the rain that puts the 911 in a disadvantage, which is ridiculous, the GTR would not survive neither, so what if its AWD, the system will overload the car and later suffers from heavy understeer while the 911 RS just dance around even on the wet

[@oopsydaisy4637]

I'd still rather have the Nissan as the VW is very likely to fall to pieces after two years owning it and cost a fortune to keep going after that.

[@cleverusernamecl5532]

Have you owned both?

[@supernice_auto]

R35 is a junkbox

[@steinerg.4539]

Pls dont talk bullshit when you have no clue about how cars work. Porsches are very reliable

[@djhrjeiwhri]

Wondering what kind of tyres they are using on gt3rs

[@drsnaps2563]

Probably cup 2’s

[@leonmagee3516]

Pilot cup spot 2

[@djhrjeiwhri]

I dont think that gtr using same cup tyres class

[@drsnaps2563]

Wakakaka It probably isn’t bc the gt3rs is built for the track so that why they almost all of em have cup 2’s as for nismo owners are less likely to fo in tracks.

[@djhrjeiwhri]

@@drsnaps2563 then it is totally not fair compare it both on track.. test track category in this fifth gear is ridicluous.

[@tyson2964]

I am just putting up a new comment as the last comment telling the winner in the first line has spoiled the plot. Now what else is wrong in my life.

[@lewishardiman7628]

The normal GTR is better in my opinion, far more practical and very comfortable if you have the prestige edition.
