    Porsche 911 turbo vs Ferrari 599 GTB

    Which car do you like more? And which would be faster around Laguna Seca?
    I think the 997 turbo

    i don't really like either of them that much, i'd rather a 997 GT3 to the turbo and a 430 to the 599 to be honest

    ummm...specs?

    And I like the 599 better AND it would be faster around Seca (not a fair comparison...).

    I'll take a Turbo. I think it looks a bit better, and it won't be long before you can get it to have as much or more power than the 599 GTB. But I think clutch has got it right. The GT3 is much better than the Turbo to me.

    One is a 480hp turbo flat 6, and the other is a 620hp V12. Yes...I'm sure the turbo is better...

    There's more to a car than horsepower

    i hate how the round headlights look on the turbo even though they look great on the 997 GT3. id rather have the 599 coz porsches are quite common where i live.

    Personal preference the 911 Turbo (I don't really like the 599). As for the race it would be a pretty close one, but I still think the Turbo would win it.

    i love the 911, but its a stupid comparison, even when the 911 GT2 comes out the 599 is still in a different league

    430 vs 911 would be a better comparison

    Why? Both are very fast sports cars.

    You should be asking... "how much do you hate the 599?"
