But that less likely is now a lot more likely
It was a pointless post to make on which car will be seen more as everyone has completely different tastes, even those who live on the various estates. You cannot say that one car is more likely to be seen than another as a blanket rule.

...... How would that make it more likely? lol
You've only noticed (heard of) ONE Porsche in or around a council estate.... Hardly makes it the norm does it!
At about 51 seconds there is a small bump on an otherwise perfect road surface and the car visibly moves vertically which says to me the suspension must be touring-car stiff. One of the things I liked about my Boxster was the relatively compliant suspension.
Nissan have undoubtedly made a really phenomenal car, however Porsche is a car you can actually live with (some of the GT) versions excepted.
It doesn't change the point being made. I've driven most Porsches and they're generally fine in terms of suspension pliancy. Not something you could ever accuse that Nissan of.
Yea, that'll be the massive manhole cover he drives over which appears to be set down in to the road, what a random thing to notice
911T?
Well yeah, he can post but it's a bit odd to find people posting fairly strong opinions on an enthusiast forum when they're a) not enthusiasts and b) base their opinions on who they think will own the car in 15 years time.
Surely you can see why someone would find that a bit strange?
So have you actually driven the same road at the same speed in a Porsche to compare?

And this is what it comes down to with this forum, you have people who can afford and do drive these cars trying to reason with people who have never driven them and judge the suspension off of a youtube video.
Holy lol
You lot have got a morbid fascination with council estates, yea you find a few lumpy cars kicking about, none are more prone to ending up living on a council estate than any others though i wouldnt say.
For the chap up there asking about a 997 turbo ride, its good, not as compliant as a non turbo 997 but its not bone jarring either.

This, now lets end it there.
Got a few mates and know a few forum aquaintences with GT-R's who've also owned and still own serious Pork. I would call the view as this. The GT-R is VERY quick and in the main solid, but the Gen 1 cars have some build issues that Nissan seem to acknowledge. I think it is also fair to say to a man they have found them more expensive to run than even a GT2 and in need of more fondling after a track outing, but that is where Porsche rules the world, nothing bests the turn up, drive hard, go home an check the oil approach of a GT Porsche, they are simply the best at this at the serious end of the track day world. Many of the early adopters are back into their Pork now however, usually with a done that, loved it, not sure I'd want to do it again. Not all of course, some still live with them or await the new one. Nissan's PR was epic and I think in the main seems to have lived up to the hype. Serious car and without it Porsche would not have built the GT2 RS and would have continued to take the **** with their GT models.
Long live the GT-R I say. Who gives a flying **** about image or who might drive them in 10 years. To use this as justification for not liking or wanting one is daft when seen from the perspective of cars that cost a tenner and cars that cost a million. An epic car is an epic car to a petrolhead, I'd have both in a shot, I'd chose Pork as Fett would chose Nissan for that is what floats our boat and because we can or used to can in my case

And you have no idea who I am or what I do, do you?
Fred Titmus?
Sure thing Mr Bigot.
Well that's nothing new for some.
