A "Would You Rather" Thread-996 Porsche 911 GT2 or 1st gen Aura NSΧ

[oldshurst442]

Like always, I saw these 2 awesome cars this past week just driving around doing errands with the family. I have no exciting details or anecdotes to reveal this time around regarding the cars in question other than when I pointed them out to my wife and kids, I was responded back by silence and I could sense the ambience was a big fat MEH!

I, on the other hand was super delighted!

A Silver 996 911 GT2

Im posting this pic like that from that angle as that is how I saw it on the highway when I passed it. The driver looked like an older gentleman driving his sports car without any intentions of breaking any speed limits. It seemed like he was babying his ride!

Below is the frond end which I did not get a chance to observe as the highway was starting to get dense in front of  me and I had to get  my eyes to focus in front of of what was happening....DUH!

Or a red 1990ish Acura NSX

 

I was stopped at a red light when the NSX drove in front of me. The driver was coming from the right of  me turning left heading the opposite direction to where we were going. The pic above is representative of what angle I witnessed the NSΧ.

 

The driver of the NSΧ was also an older gentleman but this guy seemed to be actually driving his ride the way these machines were meant to be driven.

I really cant conclude to the driving habits of these guys, but in my mind, THAT is how I wanna perceive this reality!

 

OK...which of these 2 sports  cars would YOU  choose?

NSX

The NSX.  Now if that were a 993 911 Turbo in Mexico blue, then I'd be probably go for the 911...

That is Turquoise Blue. Although similar to Mexico Blue, it is slightly different.

 

 

 

As for the topic, 996 GT2 all the way. It's not even close. It wouldn't be close even if it were a standard 996 Coupe.

NSX

NSX never appealed to me.
The 911 (family) is another of the very few euro sports cars that I find appealing. There have been so many variations on that theme and I don't pay attention to them in general, but I'd go with the 996 here.

German versus Asian, I love me asian woman, but in this case I take the German Broad as way better looking than the asian.

NSX.. I also prefer the 993 to 996.

Me too.

If it would have been a 993, Id take the Porsche over the NSX myself.
