Yes, really impressive cornering speed, much faster than any of the other cars.
And it sounds wonderful too, like a F1 car on a slowing down lap
Check out the slide at 2:04, that must have been a moment

one of the best sounding cars ^^
The Lexus drivers seem to be pushing it... going for a GT-R beating time... but mostly there seems to be several Merc SLS being tested... and their engine noise sounds very crude and unrefined at least from the distance of the camera/mike.
Present: 2005 STi, 2002 M Coupe

WHAT A SOUND !!!
They must have found something - last year the sound of the LF-A racecar in the VLN series had no sound at all, this season it all of a sudden sounded great BTW I think that I recently spotted a camouflaged LF-A Spider (or whatever the name of the cab will be) on a countryroad around the 'Ring.

Man some more exciting Asian cars to come out soon! European guys better get their act together... i want an all new Porsche car that destroys any and all of those new cars...
As for sound, they do have a CGT flavor which is AWESOME!!!!
indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine.. I happen to like both :)
