I would take the GT2 all day long. I know on youtube there is a video of the Porsche race car drivers trying to drive the GTR and get the 0 to 60 times that Nissan did and yeah nissan isnt even close to what they are saying their 0 to 60 times are!

I'd have to take the Ferrari. All sex appeal and 9.9/10s of performance. You see the Porsche and the Vette and they don't look like anything out of the ordinary or special. The GTR, while a techo tour de force, just doesn't appeal to me.

Why would he short shift the ZR1 & 599 but not the GTR or the GT2?

I know an owner of a 599, he comes to the DFW Auto club events now and then, and he said the 599 got no attention at all because no one knew what it was. He bought a Gallardo Superleggera and said that gets so much more attention than any other car he's ever owned.
