My father was looking at getting a midlife crissis car this summer and was thinking 370Z because he is cheap. One of his friends threw me the keys to his 997 Turbo and it pulled like a freight train. It was essentially just as fast as the Ford GT I drove a month prior (one of my buddy's dad let me take her out). I loved the power, but the car being rear engine just didn't feel as responsive as my E92. I was not disappointed to get back in my E92 to drive home. A week later I got to drive a GT-R. It pulled like that 997 Turbo, but it handled more neutral like the E92. I was blown away. It truly is an awesome machine. So I made my father buy one, and I drive it as often as I can. The turbo lag is much worse on the 997 than the GT-R, and the GT-R tranny IMO is better than M-DCT. I am a stick shift guy, but I would not get the GT-R with a manual if offered. There are a lot of things the E92 does better, but for a sheer performance aspect there is no comparison.
