Great article. Kudos to the GT-R...yet again.
I'm surprise that with a mag title of "0-60"...they didn't do any performance tests. -------------------- |

Thanks for the article, Chuck!!!
 Great read, the last sentence of the article brings it home. "The R35 is already a legend." |

The "Skyline" reigns supreme. That's good.

Yeah, I saw that one this weekend.
The real puchline here is that they said the only thing the TT did better was have a smoother ride. As far as writing about performance, I like that they don't get tied up in numbers. They deal in impressions and feel as do most of us. As I recall at one point they opined that the GT-R won as soon as the test began. -------------------- Le Grande Legume- Recoil and Reciprocation Club

I have nothing against Porsche .... And if both cars were the same price i would still take the gtr.... I think the 997 turbo is a great car, but it lost most gets against the gtr.... time to take on the gt3 rs ;)

I hope the V-Spec will redeem the Z-tune. People dont acknowledge it as the supercar it is. I hope the V-Spec annhilate the Ring times of these monster machines and actually runs an independent tested quarter mile time of low tens(the time quoted for the Z-tune). Only to put this shit about it been an urban legend to silence... -------------------- ]"The GT-R shares the assassin's single-minded sense of purpose.It is brutally cold, clinical and calculating." ---- Evo mag's Car of the Year.
