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

MC · 06-06-2009, 08:31 PM

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

ChrisSlicks · 06-06-2009, 08:36 PM

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

azn370z · 06-06-2009, 08:48 PM

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

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

Loved the M3 and GTR!

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.
