evo's latest signing, Tiff Needell, puts the 2012 Nissan GT-R and the brand new '991' Porsche 911 Carrera S against each other on track at the Bedford Autodrome in the UK. Against each other - and against the clock - which do you think will go quickest?

A lot of pro drivers have problems drifting the R35, Tiff?... easy peasy...

[matthewsykes]

His control is Always been a fan of him since he can play with a hyper car like a toy or go seriously quick with barely a thought. Plus his commentary is so

[abaracskai]

Remember kids, if you can drive a manual rear wheel drive Porsche, then you can drive anything.

i fucking love reading these arguments.
GTR fanboy (no driver's license): "LOOK GTR beats this crappy beatle! How awesome is this?? Fuck porsche!"
a turbo'd GTR vs a NA porche....
then comes a 911 turbo S, beats the GTR..
GTR fanboy (no driver's license): "BUT that is not fair! GTR is cheaper, that is why its better!"
No shit its gonna be cheaper! its a fucking nissan!
Seems to me its only fair for these kids when porsche is in disadvantage due to the inferior model.

Tiff Needle you are awesome man! Please let your next comparison be between the GTR Nismo and the 911 Turbo S. Can't wait to see those two monsters go head to head.

The nissan GTR drifting sounds like a Tie fighter from Star Wars passing by ^^

[oppanheimer]

I don't care if the Nissan is faster, I'll have the Porsche!

[Flabernat]

Haha, 1:14, one-hand drifting, LCD screen indicating 95mph! That's why we love Tiff!! :)

[JayRicci]

You have to love Tiffs enthusiasm for driving after all these years. Brilliant.

[TheLastMag]

Comparison makes NO sense... At least give the 911 a Pdk..!

Although the gt3 would actually be a fair fight.

[TheAslakVind]

Tiff is soo underrated, extremely talented at what he does! Thank you Sir!

[Techie-B]

Tiff Needell is such an amazing driver, by far my favourite car reviewer. Bloody legend! Considering the amount of power, torque and lack of AWD on a damp track, that Porsche did really well to finish only 2secs from the GTR"s time. I would take the Porsche, in black please!

[PischkePerformance]

Even though the GTR won, you could just tell how involved Tiff was when he was driving the 911. Both are incredible but I would take the drivers car even if it is slower :)

[supbrotv]

Porsche looks pretty much like it did back in the 60s but it still looks way better than the GTR! 

[SuperStig]

No matter where, Top Gear, Fifth Gear....he will always be my favorite presenter!

[Astralwurksdk]

Crazy that this isn't even the Turbo 911 and it was still only 3 seconds slower. A 911 Turbo or GT3 would spank that GTR

[wowowiiwaa]

Now that was a great battle! good to see Tiff in action. Great to see the nissan driven with the controls off and struggling against oversteer, don't get that from video presenters often if ever.

[WhiteLion]

Gofgilla is awesome as always and has as  breakfast some porches  audis and especially ferraries !!
But don't you get upset you guys from this comment cause it's very true !!

[HybridTheorykid]

I was expecting the porsche to be more then 3 sec's slower, but... HATS off to tiff.. His driving is top notch. Love how he takes the apexi's. Good stuff mate.

[TheBigBazzy]

that intake roar from the porches cabin is soooo beautiful.
