What happened to the GTR?

it didnt embed

and its the plain old nissan GT-R... the Ultima was the owners personal car

YouTube - Supercar Sensation autoX 6/6/09 GT-R

but yeah its was neat to get a few laps in cars like these. gave me a little needed perspective

Short course, but always fun when you're driving someone else's cars :)

so which one do you think performed the best? I would say the lambo looks the best.

yeah only 30 second course, their courses are usually 50 + seconds

GT-R and 997TT both felt about the same. the GT-R was faster but the 997 turbos spooled a little faster than the GT-R and the boost felt a little stronger. wish i had more seat time in the 997


for how much it costs....the gallardo was sort of dissapointing i expected it to be a little faster and the E-gear sucked balls you could count to 2 between shfts... wouldnt mind trying a murci though

i wish i had a chance to do the M3 over. they made you leave the VDC on and it was fairly intrusive in this car but the up shift /down shift is opposite the GTR and i went into 3rd instead of down to 1st as i was trying to make use of that 8K RPM range. the car felt good though and it was the first RWD car ive driven in over a year, i have to say out of all the cars it had the best interior and towards the top on exhaust note

Very Very nice! Thumbs up :tup::tup:

Loved the M3 and GTR!

Not a bad way to spend an afternoon...

I'm jealous. Straight up.

I really want to drive the M3. Nice pics. Lucky.

It actually doesn't feel all that great around a tight auto-cross course, just feels big and heavy. The older E46 and E36 run circles around it in that regard. It does feel pretty powerful in a straight line.
