GT-R loses again.

ZR1 doesn't need you to shift. First gear will take you anywhere you need to go in the US if you stick to the slow-lane on the freeway and are content with doing a bit over 60.

Pharmacist

Damn, 1st gear takes you 60 mph? That's almost 100 km/h? A 370z would be close to redlining in 2nd gear at that speed!

Yes, now you understand why I think my Z06 is a bit much for the street at times. It will do the same thing. The top of 2nd gear is go-to-jail speed on most public highways at the officer's discretion. 4th gear = 160mph.

Gotta be able to put that power down. I think it runs up to 66mph or so.

Sports cars with snow tires are fine for [light] snow or freshly plowed/packed snow.

if i'm driving in the snow, it's to get to work or the grocery store so i can eat. i'm sure the GTR would be fun in the snow too if you wanted it to be. it's 98% rear torque bias means the back end would step out with no problem, but instead of having to practice your drifting skills, you just give it more gas and the front grabs and pulls the car back into shape. to me, that's preferable but to each their own :shrugs:

Anyone else surprised that they have the Panamera Turbo S in 3rd place, but they didn't test a 911? Is that just because the 2012 911's aren't available yet?

yea there wasn't anything new from the 911 camp to test other than the GT2 RS i believe, maybe the GT3 RS 4.0. and no, i'm not surprised. top gear tested the car against the maser and AM rapide back when it came out and it was waayyyyy faster than both. despite it's ugly looks (imo), it is a stuuuupid fast car. the first time i drove a cayenne turbo at work it absolutely blew me away how fast it was and how well it handled for something so big and heavy. that elephant can dance! i can only imagine what the new ones are like with more power and 600lbs less weight or whatever it is

I wish they'd do some old cars like the NSX or the F40 or last RX-7 to set some baselines. Or to brag about the NSX some more

To me, a big difference between the zr1 and the gt-r (form what i have read anyway) is that they are both beasts and equally capable, but the difference is how capable it makes the driver. The zr1 is definitely as capable, but requires more skill to drive successfully closer tot he car's limit. The gtr is easier to drive closer to the limit for less skilled drivers which is in tune with Nissan's goals of a supercar anyone can drive. Can a zr1 beat a gtr? Sure and vice versa, but I think more people will do better in a gtr than they would in the zr1. SO if you're a great driver, zr1 is great for you or get whichever you like. If you're not as good of a driver but want to compete with the better drivers, get the gtr for sure, haha. This is a problem I would love to have someday.
