Nissan GT-R vs. Porsche 911 Turbo and Audi R8 V10
 

I hope this isn't a repost :rolleyes:

yay

go GTR

Cool Vid.

I REALLY like the R8. If my ship ever comes in...

Certainly nothing wrong with the GTR tho :D, especially at half the price.

I suppose it could also depend on the setup and who's driving.. :D

:drool:

Great video Steve. I posted this video few months back in this thread http://www.the370z.com/other-vehicle...di-r8-v10.html but it's a great video worth watching.

Josh, those videos are amazing! Steve Millan = Can F'in Drive! :driving: That is all!

seems pretty dangerous. i can't believe they allow them to race in residential neighbourhoods :shakes head: :thumbsdown:

Yeah, I wonder how many of the homeowners there don't like that the city shuts down their neighborhood for race cars to pass through!

and the ppl there, like are they stuck trapped in their homes for the whole race? what if someone has work or school to go to? what if there is an emergency and police or fire trucks need to get there but can't because of all the racecars speeding by? what if one of those racecars loses control and spins into a house or a parked car? i sure hope the homeowners there at least get some decent $$$ from the race revenue to make up for the inconvenience.

1st of all, yay the GTR won. 2ndly, i like how the "new" 911 turbo is slower than a car that came out 2 years ago now (jeez, i wonder if the GTR really is better *sarcasm* ), and thirdly i think clarkson would punch that guy repeatedly about the head and neck if he'd been there when the guy said "if it had a proper flappy paddle gearbox" lolz

I'm sure it's like what happens when they repave or seal the asphalt in your neighborhood... if you want to be able to get out and drive somewhere you need to park your car on the street somewhere that isn't being repaved/sealed.

It's only just one stage, though, so it's probably only shut down for part of the day, so it probably isn't too much of an inconvenience. And you are right about the revenues.

My main gripe is I think it's foolish to run a rally stage through a residential neighborhood like that... Too unsafe for the spectators (willing and unwilling alike), IMO. I'm pretty sure it's going to be one of those things where they keep on doing it until something bad happens (like an out of control car kills a kid or something).

As much as I love auto racing, I really wouldn't want some rally cars to come flying down my cul de sac. :shakes head:

Yeah, it's only shut down for 2 hours. Still, for a 70 yr old man in one of those homes suffering a heart attack, those 2 hours are an eternity. When the repave roads or whatever, they only shut down small sections at a time. And usually there is a way for traffic to go around it. In this case it seems entire neighbourhoods are shut down. How would an ambulance be able to get to that dying old man? Those shut down residential streets are the only way to access those homes, so will they redflag the race to let the paramedics through or what?

I researched, and yes, apparently a couple of incidents happened in the past. In one case a rally car hit a car that was illegally parked in the street inside the taped area. In another a rally car lost control and crashed into the front porch of one of the homes. No one was hurt in either case. But it does seem like only a matter of time before one of the race cars loses control and flies straight through someone's front lawn and run over a bunch of 5 yr old kids playing ball or something. I wonder why they don't just hold the rally in rural and country roads where they will be far away from citizens.

Speak for yourself, DO WANT!





























...until a GT-R comes flying into my living room. Then again... do I get to keep it? :tup:

Not if you were in your living room watching TV in which case you will turn into
