GT-R Review [finally...]

[Alak]

"The GT-R hasn't just moved the goalposts, it's obliterated them."

"For all-round ability, I have no doubt the Nissan is the best car I have ever driven."

"The GTR turns in beautifully, whether neutral or under brakes, and grips forever - slippery surfaces seem to bring out the best in it. Time after time I left Turner (911 Turbo) behind as my four-wheel-drive system and traction control worked better out of wet corners - it wasn't just the fact that I could get on the power earlier. It was about confidence. The Nissan really is something special, and you get the impression that while a master driver could wring every last ounce of performance out of the 911, your mother could do the same in the GT-R..........................Does the Nissan's ability reduce the driving pleasure? Not at all. You can turn all the systems off if you so choose, and it's still supremely well balanced, no doubt a delight for a racing driver on a track."

"A bellow from the engine, a rush of revs, a gigantic accelerative force on my neck, bang the GT-R into fourth. A killing gear if ever there was one."

"Were in R (mode) now, and weve hit 100mph in about 10 heartbeats. No official performance figure exists for that increment, but expect an 8 second 0-100ph time. Its fast, alrite - 60mph comes up in 3.5 seconds, the standing quarter in 11.7 seconds and it goes onto 197mph."

"The GT-R is all aggression on the outside. To my eye, it is a phenomal-looking machine, distinct from everything else. Very japanese and very hard."

"Driving these two cars back to back, its not long before you realise that the Nissan makes the Porsche seem old-fashioned. The GT-R is truly extraordinary."

"For all round ability, i have no doubt the Nissan is the best car i have ever driven. Its a solid car you can rely on when the going gets tricky."

...and this is coming from the guy who hated the 350z.

Clarkson is fucking weird as hell, and very contradicting.

He talked so much shit about the 350Z, yet in Top Gear (The Magazine), he awards it car of the year. I can't wait to see the powerlaps for the GT-R.

I don't think he was the one who gave it the award, but he is a weird guy I agree. Sport Auto lapped the GT-R and got a 7:50 time which beat the magazine's 996 time by four seconds and trailed the Z06 by 1 second. People are arguing over the validity of it though cuz the driver tested a pre-production model GT-R once before and some say it gave him an advantage (even though he's the one who set the Porsche's lap record for Sport auto).

^ added another category. Clarkson is amazing when it comes to reviewing cars but I hear he's a jerk outside the auto world.

Well, Tiff Needel worked with Clarkson on Top Gear Generation 1, and imo, it was a lot better.
