In my opinion, in SG, if really want run, a 500bhp car might not be able to outrun a 200bhp car due to road conditions.

I believe porsche status is diff from GTR. And yes Porsche depreciation higher.. But maintaining GTR is not cheap and may come up to even more cost in the end.. Cayman ok wad. Depreciation abt there.

i asked all my friends, they tell me porsche no more turn heads in singapore liao cause too many people have it, and in all honesty, the previous generation ones look kind of ugly, especially the back view (unless with spoiler). also, the cayman is 2 seater right? not that the gtr rear seat is useful, but it is always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it right.

My humble comment given I am not incline with any of these both high-end cars.
Plus am no rich guy, but to just me personally, a Porsche still a Porsche.
No doubt GTR is one of the most powerful car here thou.
Anyway any of the car, am sure you will have 'fun'(good or bad wrong/outcome of it).

Head turn or not really subjective, if u ask a car enthusiast(which im sure your friends are), they sure tell u no head turner. But if u ask any non car enthusiast, they will tell u porsche for rich.

Yes i agree cayman new 1 nicer alot.

Imho, GTR not really feasible. Unless u go malaysia run/track. Well, some people may prefer driving the car just in SG and not punushing it. But come to think of it, is that your intention in the first place?

U'll be surprise a getz also come chasing u. In summary, is the driver, not the car.
Just for a laugh...

I do not think a Getz can keep up with a GTR in any form of race to begin with...

Maybe the Getz driver is just trying to follow... :p

err having a GTR does not grant one godlike status...

not that i condone street racing but have seen rexes and evos that can easily keep up with the R35, FD2R maybe hard because limited by NA

just need the right mods and tuning, and of course cash

GTR has a class of its own.
But its sure an LTA target on road.

I was looking more to R32 and R33 being slightly more affordable than R35. Not wanting it as street racer but just the feel of its style and class. :D

Although the Lambo is better at turning heads, I agree that the GTR is better as a daily car. :o

I beg to differ.

Have you driven the GTR before?

I have drove the R8 and GTR, in fact I felt that the R8 was better as a daily car than the GTR. :s13:
