The OP picture is the reason Porsches are worth more.  
That picture does a great job of showing uglyness next to beauty.  
That GTR is FUGLY.

This shouldn’t really be surprising, as almost all new cars are ginormous.

That GT3 rules so much harder though.

I don’t get it… all of the cars posted are hot… you have to appreciate the car for what it is… a GT car, it’s not meant to be a miata in size.

Please clarify: GT3 vs Skyline  
0-60  
1/4 mile  
Ring?

According to this horrible comparison the GT3 is faster around the track:

if the GTR really ran a 7:38 on the ring, then who the shit cares how big it is? that’s incredible.

7:54 — Porsche GT3 (996) (2003)
