These tests are very interesting because they actually compare two cars on the same dyno. The 911 turbo is rated at 480ps and the GTR at roughly the same. Surprise surprise, they acutally point down the same power on the same dyno.

Interesting bits, even though the 911 has a smaller motor, its torque ramps up faster due to the VGT turbos. The GTR is superior from 3.5k to 6k rpms though, right in the meat of the rev range where you'd be spending your time on a road course.

LS2/LS7, two different UK mags have compared the GTR to a 911 turbo and GT3, and both times the GTR has been faster around the road course. Easier to drive and it puts down the power much better allowing for better corner exit speeds.]]>Mar 13th 2008 11:49AM
