Its all horses for courses guys.
The GTR will, in most circumstances, be able to put up a good show for the majority of P-cars of a similar age.
What really sets the GTR apart is that it is only the starting point for a very serious race car. As opposed to the TTs being the end point of the range.
Aside from the factory supported racers there is a huge amount of tuning equipment avalaible for a relatively low investment.
The aim of course being part of the Midnight Express Club, the 200mph club who use the freeways near Tokyo as their race track...
Now I'm no expert but to get 200mph out of a car demands some serious power.
We are into Ruf/Gemballa etc territory here, a little beyond the GT2 and GT3 factory models.
All for a car that retails (outside the US) about 60% of a P-car new.
We do, as P-car drivers, have great cars which are great fun to drive but the intention of Porsche was to be the most useable and most driveable, not necessarily the very fastest.
Over here they are pretty well respected as being up there in the serious road car stakes.
I think callling htme 'ricers' only helps to belittle something which we know to be a serious which can out perfrom most Porsches.
On the 930 racers...I'm a little confised I was labouring under the impression that the 934 was the car homologated for Group 4and the 935 for Group 5.....
