Not too many people cross shop those two cars. If he's looking for performance, then he might as well get the GTR just to experience the craziness of it. After the 2nd day he'll want a GT3/RS though. (happened to me). If this is his only car, then GTS all the way.

IMO the GTS is the best all-around 911 DD (some would argue the TT though...and I'd be hard pressed to win that debate).

It's a tough choice, but I think I'd be more inclined to get the GT-R over the GTS for the following reasons
There is no argument that Porsche engineering is superior, but comparing some of the "lower-end" P cars to the GT-R is not something I'd do, I absolutely LOVE Porsches, but I gotta give this one to the GT-R

- I am impressed after driving the GT-R, the 2012 is a little more refined, and is a lot faster than '09-'11
- The GT-R is the best Japanese car ever made IMO (not a huge fan of the LF-A at that price),I can't say the same about a C2S, the GTS is pretty nice tho, but still
- I buy a car for myself to enjoy, and not care much what other people would think about it, and I think I'll enjoy having a GT-R much more than a regular Carrera or C2S or even a GTS
- Yes it is a 90k Nissan (I like the premium better than the BE, but it is comparable (performance-wise) to cars 3x it's price, so I think it is still OK to pay that much for, but I won't pay the current mark-up seen by most dealers
