Thank you for the great video Ron.
GT-R is supreme.
Just think, the GT-R brakes in the same distance as the 997tt using steel brakes as opposed to
the 997tt using ceramic brakes!!
Handles at higher speed and accelerates much faster.
Incredible from a 4 seat car with a large boot that is 180kg heavier than the 997tt.

If that data is accurate I am wondering how long will gearbox and drivetrain last in GT-R? With that kind of mechanical tension not too long IMHO...

This thing moves. Because of the low price many rich parents will buy this car for their kids. As it is you have know idea how many kids in their highly modified hondas and acuras chase my 997tt and try to challenge me. Can you imagine what they will do in the GTR?

There are a couple threads around with dyno runs showing early GT-Rs producing way more horse power than advertised. This was a Japanese tradition due to laws preventing high horsepower cars or something like Germany's 155 mph agreement I believe. I just hope that this is actually a normal practice that will continue and not just hopped up press cars.

Sorry Nick but, you did not drive new GT-R and your claim that car is amazing is pure speculation influenced by car press(specially USA car press).
What if I told you that GT-R will not achive 7.38min on the Ring as Nissan claimed in press release?
Do you really belive that car with 480hp and weight of 1750kg is faster on any track(and in straight line acceleration) then Porsche 997 GT2 or Ferrari F430 Scuderia?
If you do then buy GT-R when it becomes available in USA.
Car press hysteria over GT-R is little bit too loud for my taste...

I am very impressed with the Suzuka laptime.
Porsche GT 612 hp, curb weight 1380. Laptime: 2:28.42
Nissan GT-R 480 hp, curb weight 1780. Laptime: 2:22.8!
That is over 5.5 seconds faster than the fastest ever Porsche.
