Top Gear - GTR Review (not the Japan race)

Okay, yet another GTR thread. Top Gear actually reviewed it this time. One thing I learned was that Clarkson said the driving experience is fully involved at the limits, not detatched (which is what I was though was the case originally). Test track times are in the part 2/7, which you'll have to find yourself.

[Edit]: Found part 2/7.

Part 1/7



Part 2/7



It beat the Scuderia around their track!

That Nissan GTR is just amazing. I wish i could get my hands in one.

It just might be my next car. I just got to convince the wife. She is not a fan of the looks. But I LOVE IT>..

At Capt. Slow's comment about the emergency tractor when Clarkson's neck gave out.

It didn't beat the Scuderia, it tied with it, which still is quite impressive considering the GT-R is probably twice as heavy.

Watched it yesterday. Absolutely amazing. Cant think of another way to describe it. It's 0.7 secs slower than the Enzo round the track and quicker than the Ford GT, Carrera GT, SLR etc...
