We're in a 2009 Nissan GT-R, helmet on, seatbelt fastened, left foot poised to release the brake and unleash Godzilla's wrath. But we're not on a racetrack. In front of us there are 22 miles and 402 turns of the best driving road in the world, Southern California's Glendora Mountain Road. We've co
vered this ground thousands of times, but today it's different. Today there are two California Highway Patrol cruisers stationed at either end of this twisting strip of sun-drenched blacktop. It is our personal playground for the afternoon. The radio crackles the "All clear" and with the GT-R's eng
ine revved to a launch-controlled 4,500 rpm, we release the brake and let the big Nissan do what it does best: twist physics into knots. This process is repeated all afternoon in a collection of today's quickest and most capable road cars. The list includes a 2008 Audi R8, 2008 Lotus Elise SC, 2008
Porsche 911, 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR and 2008 Subaru WRX STI. We didn't discriminate: Rally cars, focused rear-drive performance cars and everything in between was invited to the party. In fact, there's only one genre missing from this otherwise comprehensive list — the big-power, r
ear-drive supercar. But it wasn't for a lack of trying. Fact is, we asked Chevy for a 2008 Corvette Z06 and we asked Dodge for a 2008 Viper SRT10, but both refused to loan us their cars — presumably because we'd be testing their best metal against the almighty GT-R. Sniff, sniff. Does somebody s
mell chicken?

to be honist on what you just was explain how the car drives not how the car feels. for e.g u want a car to feel like your in a action movie u want to be excited on the edge of your seat but with the GT-R u dont get that excitment because it FEELS boring because its that good i dont want a start a argument but theres a difference between what a car feels like and what a car drives like .

Vette fans STFU. GT-R rules and is here to stay. Nothing America makes is a match for Japanese and German perfection. All the cars in the vid would make a vette drive weep like a little girl

Yeah, because a V8 ... ( 2 days ago by tuor1984)
Yeah, because a V8 doesn't weigh any more than a 4-cyl? And no, MR is not always better handling than FR. Also, the R8 is not getting a V12, rather an N/A version of the 5.0L V10 from the RS6 Avant, rated at 500hp. Go home Internet racer.
Judging by your ... ( 2 days ago by tuor1984)
Judging by your grammar, I highly doubt you have received an education that could grant you a career capable of allowing you to purchase a GT-R, or any other high-end sports car; or even test drive one for that matter. Thus, your opinion doesn't mean shit. It seems more likely you simply watched one of the Top Gear reviews of the GT-R and are simply attempting to regurgitate Clarkson's words. Keep trying.

Wrong again my fat-headed friend, being released as a 2009 model, the R8 V10 has already undergone testing on the Nurburgring. Try harder.

It took 51 years to perfect the Skyline or GTR, however you want to call it. It's just simply amazing how far the performance has come and it's just a window into where it will go. I'm glad Nissan released this vehicle, because now all manufacturers are under the pressure to commit and show their true colors. In the next few years we will see quantum leaps in performance engineering. I can't wait to see what the GTR will unveil.
