You do realize that those leaf springs that you trash on have been kept updated with technology over the years to perform just as well as a normal spring and shock set up? Don't knock the Corvette department at Chevy. I may hate the rest of the company, but those cars are the fucking bomb. Can't wait for the Blue Devil (ZR-1). That's going to be a fucking monster.

Mate, I know all about the GT-R. That car, the ZR-1, and the DSG-equipped Porsche 911 Turbo will all be on the same level. I think it will come to the point that the driver will make those cars more than anything else. All three are sexy as shit.
Im with 1 spot, the nissan is beautiful and slim, the ZR-1 looks just like the others to me...overweight and ugly. Oh and at the monent noone will buy them because of the current market conditions. General motors are in the shit and this will just push them further in it.Eye-GiZzLe wrote:

My guess is that it will be Skyline GTR vs Bullet train. What do you think??topgear wrote:
Most exciting for me is that we've finally come up with another big race - you know, car versus something or other.
The last time we did one was a couple of years ago, with the plane against the Veyron, and in hindsight we lost the plot in that one - too pompous, too overblown and preposterous, too much work on the scripting to make it funny. This one is back to basics, more hardcore, mega car, mega opponent, with a solid premise. And a clue for the geeks: we did it in Japan.
No, the Nissan GT-R is not beautiful at all. It's just a great car.ELITE-UK wrote:

Really? I haven't been watching it since the start. I wasn't even born back then. You do realise Top Gear is more than 30 years old, don't you?theDude5B wrote:

I hope that someone agrees with me here because I have watched top gear since the start. Every sunday night I was always glued to the TV watching it and would get annoyed if i missed it. Last series though I just lost complete interest while it was on.
I'm insinuating you're Will Young (aka a homosexual), and you should leave right nowtheDude5B wrote:

The Corvette as a car, I agree, is good. But I would never go as far to say it dominates most cars...Eye-GiZzLe wrote:

hmmmm. that's funny. i'm pretty fucking sure the vette outperforms them all (or would with a couple thousand dollars in upgrades). go do some research. sure they aren't as luxurious, but they also cost 1/10 of the majority of those cars...Mint Sauce wrote:

I wish I had a video of my dad's C6 Z06. God that thing was SO SICK. I remember coming home from an Islander game on the LIE and it was like 11 PM (so not many cars out) and my dad punched it. Didn't see any cops, so...yeah. That was one of the COOLEST moments ever.
I guess you guys would know: which one was the last episode of TG? Was it the one where they enter the marathon race? I think that's the last one I downloaded watched. I kinda lost track of the show... but damn its so cool and I've been meaning to watch all that I've missed but I wanna do it in the right order

Precisely. I'd like to see the times with perfect conditions for the Vette. An awd car should handle better than a rwd one, especially when it also has a computer controlled drivetrain and paddle shifting. The Vette has V8 growl, 6 speed manual, and great suspension. Give the Vette awd and paddle shifting and it'll spank the GT-R around the Ring, but giving the Vette awd would be sacrilege. It's meant to be a mix of raw power and tech. Props to the GT-R for what it is, but it needs twin turbos and launch control just to keep up with the Vette to 60mph, after that, the GT-R will be looking at the Vette's tail lights the whole way.Eye-GiZzLe wrote:

GT-R:
60mph: 3.4
80mph: 5.7
100mph: 8.6
120mph: 12.7
Vette:
60mph: 3.4
80mph: 5.3
100mph: 8.0
120mph: 10.7
The GT-R is already 2 seconds behind and the Vette will keep going all the way up to 200mph. Buh bye.
