Spot on as usual.
The GTR doesn't have the same cachet or visual recognition of a 911, especially to those of "age". I've grown accustomed to being asked "what is this" several times on a weekend, only to watch their faces become more confused when they hear the first word is Nissan.
I imagine most don't buy a GTR for curb appeal, you buy it for the qualities that become apparent when you drive the car hard. It's not a luxurious, quiet GT car, it's a purpose built machine that does things that challenge your understanding of physics at times.
For me, it came down to 997.1 Turbo Or GTR. Ultimately for what I'd use it for, the GTR was the better choice for a car that will be modded, thrashed, and not taken on golf outings.
