I keep thinking to myself, "fuck a GTR is fast!"... then I remember that the Veyron totally rips it a new asshole.
I would love to see how that actually is.

absolutely brilliant motors those gtr's.
''sort of cheap'' aswell, providing nothing goes wrong out of warranty.
i once chased a porsche 911 turbo in my focus. made me laugh when i was ragging the balls out my car and he just toyed with me, then shot off, probably up to 150+. was a good sight.

is it true they have now removed the launch control due to gearbox damage in the 2010 models?
either way i was next to one on the entrance to the A1 as soon as we hit it he launched as if he was being flung out of a sling shot

You've got to be kidding John? The entire reason people buy them is because of the capability against much more expensive cars, not how they look

i think the big advantage to the gtr is that normaly drivers like us can make them very fast cos they are so advanced the car does alot of the work!

had a play with one round lots of twisties on the way home from elvington/scoobyshootout rnd 3, took his time getting past but yes, in a straight line theyre quite quick.
i dare say in the right hands they are an extremely capable car.

I dare say Steve thought he had a chance, seeing as he has over 6000cc to play with.

In a straight line though it isnt that difficult to drive fast, but I suppose there is people out there that will struggle .
