VR POWER. Car has a P800 package. On paper this car is suppose to be as quick as a Veyron up to 186MPH. Well now there is a video to prove it.

The GT R definitely IMO was not a picture taker but in real life it is so much better. I just wonder how they will hold up over time and if it will ever be cheaper to work on them once the new fever is gone.

Doubt they will be cheaper to work on down the road. $80K car new, parts still expensive down the road. For example ///M cars.

@ this thread: It was really only a matter of time considering what they managed to squeeze out of the R34 from a much less refined starting point.

I agree with this.

Parts cost is all about production numbers. The more cars they produce the less parts will cost. As for being able to work on one...um yeah. Better go ahead and head back to school for that programming/computer architecture degree.

Unfortunately as we all know mother nature unleashed its own Godzilla in Japan on Friday.

On the bright side, Switzer keeps turning its Godzillas up a few notches. The GTR R1K. Which is the same car I posted a few posts up of its dyno run.
