Tomy Redeye Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I drove a GTR at Prestwold Hall and it was so easy to jump in and drive i loved it! It was hammering down with rain and i couldnt believe how much grip it had in the bends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm not gonna even read any of the comments... just... GALLARDO!! If you wanna do it... go for the GTR, but if you wanna FEEL it... get your arse in that Lambo. 997... doesn't even register lol. You won't have fun in it, and seemingly from what I see on TV, the GTR won't be either...just really fast C'mon think of the sound! And its a Lambo... its not exactly..slow or ugly or boring... GET IT DONE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zollburgers Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Funnily enough I did a very similar driving experience yesterday at Chobham Test Track and drove a Lamborghini, GTR and supercharged aerial atom in that order. Ignoring the atom (which was by far the best) I actually enjoyed the GTR more. Plus I could put my jumper on the back seats, which was nice. Here is a bit from one of them: Yes I await comments of how rubbish I am but the big scary man sat next to me shouted if I accelerated on corners and things.

AMT Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Never mind the driving , I'm more concerned with this quote.... Plus I could put my jumper on the back seats, which was nice. How far down the list do you think this REALLY should be in terms of supercar considerations?? L....A...M....B....O hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 im suprised not very many people have went for the porker I guess a track day's about driving the unattainable (for most of us). I'd love a go in the Porsche though personally..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Its not a Carrera GT though, just a 911 997... or thats what I would take form the title lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 It is a 911 997...I personally do not like them, think they look a bit and dont sound like a sports car should IMO. But, I almost thought about going for it just so I can see what all the fuss is about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 You'll get closer to the 997's limits on the track than you would the other two, and you'd have a lot of fun playing with the fat rear end and the pointy front. The GT-R will be considerably quicker than the other two, but it's still a big car that doesn't make a particularly nice noise. Stonkingly capable, but lacks the emotion. The Lambo will be the most difficult to extract the best from, and the gearbox will drive you nuts, but you can console yourself with that noise and those looks, and the fact that it's a genuine supercar. One's a Beetle, one's a Datsun, the other one is a Lamborghini! You can blag a test drive in a GT-R or 997 any day of the week, whereas I suspect getting a Lambo out for a blast might prove a bit trickier. A Gallardo is still £60K to buy, whereas you can pick either of the others up for £35K now. Drive something that is unobtainable, not common as muck.

If you want to have a blast in the other 2, just turn up to a dealership in a sharp suit and you can go out and blast on. I very much doubt you can do that in a Lambo. Maybe you can - Sarnie will tell us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It is a 911 997...I personally do not like them, think they look a bit and dont sound like a sports car should IMO. I agree Coldel, that metallic engine sound really disappoints, easily sorted with a decent exhaust I suppose.... As a designer I love the carefully evolved styling and the fact that Porsche has made few changes to the basic concept. This is either a brave move or a lazy 'if it ain't broke' one, either way it's clear that there has been plenty of investment in how the car drives. I'm sold on one after the Zed, although I had a test fit in my mates 993 C2S which was lined up as the next car but i don't fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWTech Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 just to clear up, i know what you are considering is a 911, i was just stating my love for the carerra GT since we were talking about supercars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
