Which would you buy?

If the Gtr was a Nismo I'd say that but 997 if its a premium

if you want something that's incredibly reliable and retains its value and turns heads, go for the Porsche

if you want something with a transmission that's so shit even Nissan won't offer it as a certified preown, go for the gtr

Im not looking for practicality, this is a weekend car.

Great point. I'd put myself as intermediate. I can handle high-powered cars but I need some time to acclimate to them. I think a better insight would be my driving style, which errs on the safe side with some recklessness sprinkled in. The bottom line is I respect cars so I'm not too worried about killing myself.

This sounds fantastic. I think I'm going to have to drive a ZR1--how, I'm not sure.

reminder

If this is strictly a weekend car the ZR1 is gonna be the fastest and most exciting. I got to detail one of those things and took it out for a quick pull and that thing is absurdly fast. Not only do you get the rumble of a 6.2l engine, but you've got the supercharger whine on top of it. It's almost kind of scary.

The GTR is much more tame and easy to drive at its limits. The AWD system they've got is really interesting. Two drive-shafts, from the front engine to the rear axle and then up to the front axle. Rear is powered normally, and power goes to the front to help stabilize. Plays all kinds of magical tricks to keep steady in corners. The TT V6 sounds nothing like the 'Vette.

I've never driven a 911 Turbo.
