The 911TT drives like a Lotus does to a miata when compared to the GT-R. The sensation of being in a smaller more agile feeling car is sensed instanesously and only hightened as we went around the track. According to the mags, the lap times the two cars can achieve is about the same...and that may be. However, I'm certain the fun-factor is much greater in the P-Car...

im sure for you that is the case. but as ive said many times b4, "fun" is a subjective term. i have found other cars i have had just as much "fun" and sometimes more than when i had my lotus. depends.....
to me, stuff like miatas and mini coopers arent much fun to drive.....thats me.
ive driven a 911tt around a track. i was impressed. almost TOO "gt," but i really really liked my zo6 too.
some folks dont have room nor the budget for a second sports/performance car. they buy one car that they drive everyday. not everyone is a car fanatic. perhaps for those folks something like the gtr is a good choice.

It is admitted by all that he was much addicted to women, as well as very expensive in his intrigues with them, and that he debauched many ladies of the highest quality; among whom were Posthumia, the wife of Servius Sulpicius; and Lollia, the wife of Aulus Gabinius.
