seriously - every corner exit belonged to the nissan. then traffic would slow things down, allowing the porsche to catch up. then the nissan would put such a gap in very little time. lather, rinse, repeat - get stuck in traffic, then just run away again, every time; it demonstrates that these two cars aren't in the same class.

The only ignorance here are from Porsche fanboys.
I can say this, because i have owned Porsches before, as well as fielded several track only road race machines. There isn't any illusions of what a Porsche is on my end.
Again, they are nothing but overpriced, overrated, and under performing pieces of metal. Just look at the Porsche Turbo at 130k. That thing handles like a POS. Lets look at the price of the GT3 RS. This thing does a little better on handling, but look at the price. Give me a break. Sure, you can pump a ton of money into it to get it to perform better, but you can do this with any car. So my statement still stands
As for Porsche's getting chicks. Think again. Lambo's and Ferrari's get chicks. Porsches get middle age house wives, fanboys, and mid-life crisis old men that has a little more money.

. FYI My pops has a 997 turbo, and owned 2 turbo's before this one. The cars are flat out bad ***, period. Yeah they have softened up the 997 a little bit but to say it handles like a POS is like saying my next door neighbor's Buick handles like it's on rails. And no you're statement does not stand, as a matter of fact just read up every review on any GT3, 997T and I'll bet you'd be REALLY hard pressed to find anything remotely accurate to the statement you just made buddy (handles like a POS in case you forgot). Oh, and yes I also know from first-hand experience 
. Let's not even bring Porsche's racing history/heritage into this cause that will leave you looking quite dumb (since they handle like a POS, sorry had to say it again).P.S. Don't know what part of the world you live in but over here, when I take out my pops Porsche, it's a damn panty-dropper (honks, waves, winks, girls screaming out the window and all).

I'd buy that as my track car, and then for the street, I'd buy the Cayman RS copy-cat . It'd be too much for the neighbors if you owned two versions of the same car, so you gotta mix it up a little
Back to reality...

Looks to me more like like a Porsche pooped in your Wheaties at some point. If you were unbiased, you simply say you thought they don't handle well. You'd leave the crack-backs about the white hairs out of it. You failed

Please.. I enduranced raced a 911 GT2, and the car flat out handled it's 600hp better than any other 2,000 pound, 600 hp car I've ver driven. My first time in it was on the big track at Willow, at night, and it turned an hour of consistent 1.22's.

Remember Gran Turismo aint real ...

honestly, i love all cars. but the GTR just has so much more presence than the porsches. same thing with the ZO6, as both are physically large and have such visual impact. when you combine that there are less expensive GTs that are much more impressive in a physical stature and a performance perspective, it's easy to understand why there are a lot of enthusiasts that aren't very enthused about any of the porsches at the same price point.
plus, when you are a gameless wonder like me, even rolling up in an F430 won't help.
