DR video (GTR vs R8 vs 997Mk2 vs Vantage)

Worth watching and will answer a couple of question about the GTR.

1/ Is it's quoted power FAKE?

2/ Is it really that GOOD?

You make your own mind up.

i really dislike that car show. his driving never really depicted him as an automotive authority imo. 4 seconds to 60 for the gtr, thats a bit slow (compared to other sources), isnt it? idk, i tend to ignore whatever lap/acceleration times this guy puts out on his show. its still entertaining to watch, though

Did they use the GT-R's launch control for the drag race? GT-R is bargain.

Interesting opinion, not one I would agree with but each to their own.

Oh by the way, the GTR and 997PDK both just touched the 140mph mark on Hanger straight.

Guess what the big RS6 did at the same point?

150mph
