I'd take the gtr... it's a steal in the Japanese market and i doubt, for the money, you'll find anything quicker. it is relevant that it's over

One can always revert to another track time.

For example, the old Box was quicker round the 'ring than an S2000, but the S2000 was quicker round Hockenheim...

Ten quid says the V-spec smashes the ZR-1 time.

Top trumps?

Can you do 200+mph in the GT-R .. oh, a shame, just shy huh.

205.

And aren't the F40, F50, 959, Enzo etc all LHD ?

Perhaps you should google 'ZR1' for a little bit of history

The lap time was set by a test driver (apparently) so it might be interesting if they let one of their GT1 drivers have a proper go.

It'll be more like

no, in this case we are talking about the same track

which seems to have become THE benchmark

and the 'Vette is quicker

Why did an earlier poster think the Nissan was more reliable?

Because, lately they have teamed up with Renault to improve their reliability.

I don't get the point about the Evo though.
I was just playing the arse, but like you dislike the US cars, I really can't get excited for the StiEvo format cars, no matter how spectacular they are. A bit OT, so...

The 'vette is one of the few US cars I absolutely love. Most likely would own one if I were there. Has a nice long(ish) history to it too.
