the Pcar, most definitely. Thought if we're talking about the V10 R8, that's a different story.

Porsche Turbo is a better car to drive everyday and can be modded to 600+HP with ease!!

Did you ever track or dyno it stock? What was the overall cost to achieve those numbers.

While a 997 Turbo is out of my price range, I just like hearing about them.

With that said, I would even take a 996 turbo over the R8.

Only way I would take a R8 over a turbo is if I could sell the R8 and then buy a turbo.

As you said, they are so different.

I love the roar of the 6.2L V8 in the C63. I also love the scream of the 3.6L V6 TT in the Porsche.

The C63 has a tremendously smooth powerband. But, the modded TT is smooth too.

The C63 interior is blah. The Porsche's rocks (also with a little help of interior painted pieces).

Both cars get oohs and ahhhs -- but more for the P-car.

I will say that it was not an option not to mod the turbo after my C63 KLEEMANN K2. Stock turbo still rocks the modded C63, but not by a huge margin.

I equally love and enjoy both cars. With that said, my car ADD has been left untreated and I almost traded my P-car on a 2008 Gallardo last week, and I've been seriously considering trading my C63 for a 2010 E63 when it arrives next month.

I tend to agree!!

I sold my 996 TT about 6 months ago and it had 550HP which was enough to Jam any R8 in the nutz...
