who is testing the suspension setup? if it's the S then it would be cool to know what the setup is.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but that was pretty cool. Around the little parts of straightaways that came, the GT-R would pull pretty far, but the S would come back around the corners. I'm sure with a better driver, the GT-R would've been gone around the corners, too.

I think it had more to do with being night and having traffic coming the other way then the driver. As the second car you don't have to worry about either the night or the traffic.

Was their a cop car that went past them lol... While watching the video (i watched it all..loved it) i was thinking the gt-r driver didnt really know what he was doing because the s was catching up in the corners. But as was mentioned above the gt-r has to worry about people comeing around those corners. In one segment of the video their is just turn after turn with a a straight and the gt-r pulls ahead pretty far..

nice video

Even on the touge a GTR R35 should outcorner and out accelerate a S2K. Even on a downhill only run it would be fair at best. Also like said earlier There is always a pretty signifigant advantage following on the touge.
