Oh man ANOTHER GT-R on DRT. I never saw that coming.

Is the GTR 1,000HP or 1,100HP?
Description: The 1,100hp beast represents a big boost over the stock twin-turbo V6. Its challenger comes from Arkansas-based Protomotive Engineering, where some of the fastest Porsches in the world have been buil...

GT1 or DFI it doesn't matter if they both develop the same 950 like Carlos implied and PDK isn't that much faster than the GTRs tranny. I think a 997.2 would still lose.
Darren Nardo Jul 18, 2012
Great race. Sick launch by the 911 !! The GTR really laid the boost down and gained ground despite the terrible reaction time!
Domi Bsaibes Jul 18, 2012
I don't understand, on this page they say it's 1100 hp while it's 1000 hp in the title
Igor Natsioks Jul 18, 2012
@vincent, the difference is not 50hp, but 150hp. That is significant.
Carlos Ernesto Garcia Jul 18, 2012
@daniel, this id a 997.1 turbo, while a 2011 is a 997.2 turbo. A new turbo s on its own hits 60 in about 2.8. And thers the updated PDK
Tevin Xko Davis Jul 18, 2012
Sill an epic race!
Daniel Sullivan Jul 18, 2012
@colby. Wrong. I said this is the latest 911 TURBO and it is. The latest 911 is the 991. The Turbo comes out in 2013 and it has not been released yet. The Turbo S won't follow for at least a year, making it a 2014 model.
Vincent R Butler Jul 18, 2012
They are both Great cars, with amazing performances
Vincent R Butler Jul 18, 2012
Colby The out come will Be the same. 50hp less doesn't mean anything btw. The driver in the GTR had a terrible reaction Launch. The GTR would've and should've won that 1/4 mile. @Tin you comment is just retarded
Colby Church Jul 18, 2012
@Daniel This is not the latest gen Porsche 911. The new ones are completely different animals and they look slightly different and the ail light design is much nicer and different now. Do some research, and Carlos is correct. It would win for sure.
Henz Herrero Jul 17, 2012
Im sure nissan cud care less about the gtr, well not 100%, cuz they have to compete thru a broad spectrum of cars.. Porsche only compete for sports cars, full size suv and flagship sedans.. My 2c, so i think theyve done really good for the gtr..
Kyle Hardisty Jul 17, 2012
the Porsche was a beast! But the the GTR was a MONSTER!!!
Keenan Casteel Jul 17, 2012
Wicked launch by the Porsche.
Lou Guerrero Jul 17, 2012
Im really starting to like these hyper horsepower races. They really let the car develop the power unlike 1/4 where it's strictly acceleration.
Daniel Sullivan Jul 17, 2012
@carlos. Why would 2011 make a difference? This is the latest generation Porsche turbo. Unless you're referring to the 2014 991 Turbo S--a car that's not out yet. The 2013 991 turbo isn't even on the market yet.
Carlos Ernesto Garcia Jul 17, 2012
You give a 2011 911 turbo s 950 hp and that gtr has no chance
Pablo Herasme Jul 17, 2012
The race was fair, its all about the power to weight ratio
Ben August Jul 17, 2012
All I saw was a very slow driver in the GTR. I love Porsche > GTR, but even I gotta admit that the RT of the GTR was 2x more than the Porsche. God I love the Porsche though...
Ervis At Jul 17, 2012
Nice race blame who you want but the quarter mile belongs to the Porsche and the mile to the gtr their both great cars and the gtr will never get the respect it deserves because it's a NISSAN but with that said if you had 100k to spend on a car which
Tin Nguyen Jul 17, 2012
I'd take the 911. If you show up in a porsche and a Nissan which car do you think the wife/gf would sit in?
Luke Murray Jul 17, 2012
Even with a bad start the gtr fights back legend of a car!!
Timothy Hooker Jul 17, 2012
definitely driver error on launch. no way that just happened
Matt Piccolo Jul 17, 2012
And IMO, the gtr looks better than the Porsche, not in that color though
Matt Piccolo Jul 17, 2012
Gtr had a horrible start! Didn't launch correctly...Good race though
Dillon Dixon Jul 17, 2012
The unlimited 500 is just about ET the start doesn't matter. If you count the reaction times then it was one damn close race, but the GTR would've still one. The Porsche dominated the 1:4 mile though. Great race, though.
Max Bonds Jul 17, 2012
didn't have a bad start the 60 ft time was barely over the Porsches
John Serely Jul 17, 2012
@sam so the 911 did not win off the line because Nissan was at a disadvantage, just because it had a bad start or the 911 is quicker
John Serely Jul 17, 2012
@sam you must not know what your talking about lol. The nissan has AWD, and so does the Porsche.
Garrett Chatterton Jul 17, 2012
@byakka I saw the same thing and though that too lol the gtr did get a shitty start
Zaire Wilkins Jul 17, 2012
the GTR is stingy when it comes to 1st place
Byakka Hirakawa Jul 17, 2012
love the porche but the gtr had driver error on take off He hits the gas late, but thats drag racing for ya
Domi Bsaibes Jul 17, 2012
Add those extra 50 hp to the porsche and it would kill the gtr. It's about time a car slightly looses a gtr
Paul Lissona Jul 17, 2012
I'm way more on the Porsches side.
Carlton Sofocusedon Green Jul 17, 2012
The porsche turbo is AWD
Sam Oglesby Jul 17, 2012
Porsche was always gonna win of the line 4wd always bogs down at the start
Alex Vasquez Jul 17, 2012
both of em are still sweet, I'll take one of eaci
Hovie Hov E-House Jul 17, 2012
It won the quarter n 150 hp diference it better win the mile
David Markham Jul 17, 2012
Thanks for ruining my guess...
Chris Bullock Jul 17, 2012
Dang, I though the Porsche was gonna win
Matt Piccolo Jul 17, 2012
Beauty, but I like it with the spoiler better
Peter Mark Gacek Jul 17, 2012
I like the clean deck look. Like the skyline concept
John Serely Jul 17, 2012
I love that California to be honest, I would probably take the California over the GTR (and save a lot of money because the GTR probably costed a lot of money to tune
Brady Fereday Jul 17, 2012
I like that orange on the GTR and I really don't like orange cars lol
Alex Vasquez Jul 17, 2012
I'll take it in military camo, or murdered out!
Leon Laplata Jul 20, 2012
911 all the way!!!
Keenan Casteel Jul 17, 2012
@Dillon Don't take Nissan's technology and precision as a lack of passion. It's just a different kind of passion than Porsche displays.
David Purcell Jul 17, 2012
I love both but the 911 is my pick but not by much.
Matt Piccolo Jul 17, 2012
I'd take the gtr
Grant McHendry Jul 17, 2012
notice ANOTHER GTR driving on the road...
Dillon Dixon Jul 17, 2012
Same here! The passion that Porsche puts into the 911 is beyond what Nissan could ever do.
John Serely Jul 17, 2012
I'd take the 911 turbo over the GTR any day
John Francis Jul 17, 2012
Make it yellow and that'd be my dream car right there.
