Audi R8 & Nissan GT-R : Performance Machines

Taking a look at the Audi R8 and new Nissan GT-R, the ultimate performance machines.

Question by Paul D: For an 07 Audi A3, are there performance limitations on an automatic vs. manual?
I am going to be purchasing a 2007 Audi A3 soon, and I was wondering if there were performance limitations on an automatic versus a manual. For example, if I were to get an automatic and have it chipped, would it be less hp gain compared to a manual? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here is your shocker. The A3 does not come with an automatic transmission. The transmission which you think is an automatic is really a dual clutch manual transmission with a self shiting mechnism. It has a clutch and direct gear drive.

The car comes with either the self shifting DSG transmission which you misidentified and an automatic or a traditional six speed manual.

Neither is limited or superior to the other with a possible exception of having better speed control with the manual that you shift yourself but that is somewhat old school in thought.

These guys keep saying “From a Nissan?” like they’re surprised…where were they for the past 30 years when the Skyline GTR, which by the way dude in the red shirt is a Nissan, was dominating the pro circuit, drift, drag, and the underground illegal street races?

@lollerrr89 Nah man i think its a good looking. Car and yeah there is a big price difference over there. The GTR is 84k over here and the porsche is 140k so yeah its still a big price difference over here. But we all have our different reasons for the cars we buy or would buy…. Nice talking to you though….

Does they know anything about cars? They are more worried about the design details than the performance.. Little Girls talking!


lollerrr89 Said:

@Nik84811 Ok ok, I thought you found the gtr a hideous car :P , but you from USA?, because a porsche is like 140K there right? here in Holland it is 240k in euro! so that is like almost 300k in dollars. That is my point and the gtr is here 125k in euros 160k in dollars. Because of the price difference i would go for the GTR.


Nik84811 Said:

@lollerrr89 So yeah… thats my understanding of both cars. Btw i am most certainly not dumb. You really shouldnt say those kinds of things about people that you have never met before


Nik84811 Said:

@lollerrr89 wrong place and still make it have superior handling up until now is a tremendous achievement. Overall both cars are awesome and the GTR does look good as well as the Porsche. I would still buy the 911 over any other car but thats just because this car is my dream car and I love it so much. And thats probably how you feel about the GTR. ….


Nik84811 Said:

@lollerrr89 I can say a lot of things right now but i am only going to say one. I think the GTR is an amazing technological advanced car. I think it’s amazing that nissan was able to create a front engined rear wheel drive car that could be a porsche 911 turbo on the nuhburing (or whatever it’s called). I will give it that. But I like everything in the 911 better because I think its an incredibly tremendous engineered car. The fact that porsche was able to make a car with its engine in the


lollerrr89 Said:

@Nik84811 Look how dumb you are, because i have only seen it twice ‘people’ dont know what kind of car it is??? No precisously because every turd recognizes a 911 because there are 32190481920340892234098 on the road, and I saw 2 special editions moron not some stock 911. And I would want people to know I have money? sorry but you want the porsche for 140K? Sure that shows who wants to show it, seriously your IQ is like 60??? I think you also prefer a S3 for an R32 right, because its audi sad..


lollerrr89 Said:

@Nik84811 hahaha what great points you have, gas mileage???? 1 mph better top woooooowwwww im blown away, real status sports cars are still ferrari and lamborghini, porsche is more like audi and benz. But please shut up now, because you will never admit it is a amazing car, i think a good porsche is really nice but compared to everything i like the gtr more, and if we chip it than we will see. But dont come here with oww its faster DUHHH almost 200 hp more :S
Porsche is for onorignal wankers!!


Nik84811 Said:

If you want to see a GTR go to Japan. Plus you also said: “the GTR is faster.” Well go to youtube and type: “Porsche 911 turbo pdk vs Nissan gtr” and click on the first video. And then tell me which is faster. How I love proving you wrong…. So as you can see the Porsche 911 is still the best.

Nik84811 Said:

Also if this makes any difference the porsche 911 turbo is also faster. 193mph vs 194mph. And i want to go back to that post you posted a week ago when you said “I have seen 2 gtr’s on the road and porsche’s like couple hundred times.” Thats because no one knows about the GTR because it HAS NO STATUS- ITS A NISSAN FOR CHRIST’S SAKE- and because people in your area can afford a more expensive, more practical 911 turbo. Sorry!


Nik84811 Said:

At least you can tell the 911 is a sports car compared to the GTR which just looks like a suped up 350z. And yes you would see “2 Porsches 911 gt something” because they have 20 variations of the Porsche 911. While im on that point im going to include that you can also buy a convertible 911 unlike the GTR. Just wanted to bring that into the argument. By the way the 911 turbo gets better gas milieage as well. 15/21-GTR vs 16/24 and 17/25-Porsche 911.


Nik84811 Said:

@lollerrr89 Ok if your gonna buy a car that costs 140 grand i think you would want people (or in your case: barbies) to see that you have a lot of money. Yeah and wait to go you figured out that a 620 bhp sports car will go faster than a 485 bhp sports car. Good for you. And are you serious the GTR is more original?? You are entitled to your opinion but the 911 was (and still is) definitely a more original design.


lollerrr89 Said:

@lollerrr89 Ok whatever you say, you just gonna buy the porsche because it has more status how sad, so that every barbie sees your face in the porsche they know oooowwww he has money. And the gt2 has like 620 BHP, wow what a surprise it is faster :S It is just a fact that the GTR is faster, better handling and the price is way way better and I personally think it is more original, saw a couple of days ago 2 exactly the same porsches 911 gt something. hahaha HOW UNIQUE hahahahah

@s25117 English man… English..

Fuck those two.. Thumbs up to Lexus ISF and LFA


Nik84811 Said:

@lollerrr89 WELLLLLLLLLL The GTRRRRRRRRRR wouldn’t be here without the porsche 911 so obviously the porsche 911 is superior (and the gt2 will always be quicker than the GTR). Porsche 911 is the best and has brought revolutionary technologies to the sports car industry. As well as showing that a very small sports car (that is fairly cheap) with its engine in the wrong place has potential. Porsche 911 all the way.

fuck the R8 it’s just a cheapened Lambo, GTR is way better


munesh23 Said:

why the fuck did these fags review the GTR, they put down the GTR and glorified the R8. yes the R8 looks better but the GTR still looks pretty damn good… biased fucks


karan6 Said:

The R8 looks sexier but hands down the Gt-r is faster


s25117 Said:
