Monteray Blue looks awesome in the sun.

The journalist is better at driving than he is at being a journalist...and that doesn't say much...

I am glad to see that it got good reviews from the IRL driver...

Z looks small compared to godzilla.

Great video! Thanks.

That was cool to see. On a tight track the times were not too far apart.

Pretty good video. It did a good job of showing how much grip the new Z has for those corners. It also showed how weak the exhaust sounds

lol

I really enjoyed that, thanks for posting.

I noticed that Sam Mitani, who normally writes for Road&Track, commented about the need for the infamous NISMO oil coolers again when taking the Z to the track.

This wouldn't bother me so much if NISMO did actually offer these oil coolers, but they don't seem to be for sale yet.

I think that editor for Road and Track is also in the GT-R National Geographic special. Which if you haven't seen is a excellent documentary.
