Would you chop in B8 for a GTR?

Anyone had a GTR before? Still looking to scratch that itch

Have driven one, if that’s helps. My answer would be NO. The older version is very plastic and dull, my opinion. Although, they are quick!!

In my eyes not really a fair comparison.

My B8 is my daily family Swiss army knife, a GTR would be a toy.

Does depend on your situation of the B8 is a toy then maybe but as above not an early one.

Could ypu give us more info on the situation?

Thanks guys!
So my RS is a daily and I do love it, as we know it’s an amazing car and been nothing but a pleasure for almost 3 years of ownership. I’ve been looking at used B9’s which so for similar money I could consider the GTR.
It been a dream car since it came out (but to be fair so was a B7 RS) and drove one at the top gear track in the wet. It was good and quicker than mine despite having a hard life! I also drove a knackered old R8 which was good too apart from an awful gearbox.
Agreed the early ones are best avoided but I think I could end up with a 2014/15 GTR for my budget so not really ahead... and it would need to be my daily too.
