Tight race.

Clearly the R35 GTR had the up front position.

Would have love to see the drag stip turn into a circuit race.

Watching them all to see how well they handle, blasting out of the corners and hammering down the straights.

That would have been exciting to watch.

comparison bw a 458 and GTR isn't as simple as dollar vs acceleration

most 458 buyers would prob look past simple raw acceleration figures and see the added value in design, heritage, sound, feel, wank et al

what was a let down for me is the lf-a. With it's single clutch manual and mediocre quarter it's almost as if the game has already moved on before it even started

yeah interesting that the 458, the R8GT, the SLS, the LFA, the Z06 all had higher mph than the R35 (indicating they were all hunting it down to different degrees). certainly the 458 would have it beat in a race even slightly longer. even the GT3 RS was only half a mile slower to the 400m mark despite being 7th outright...

cool test though. :)

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
