Fresh Perspective

I have to admit this looks like a ton of fun.

Video: Nissan GT-R at Nurburgring in Winter.

I’ve seen this car race before and I have to say it sounds far cooler from the inboard camera. Most impressive.

My Japanese is not what it used to be, but the folks on NAGTROC are speculating what this slide might mean.I talked with the US Product manager for GT-R last month during the LA Autoshow and he said that the tires alone are going to shave significant time as Dunlop has a new compound available that is good for as much as “4 seconds on a course the size of the Nurburgring”. We’ll have to see what they come back with in April, let the video be the proof.

Carlos Ghosen almost throws up in an early prototype, Nissan Execs browsing Autoblog in a Staff Meeting, and peak at the rumored 50KG of testing equipment mounted in the trunk of the Nurburgrin GT-R. All good stuff.

New Honda NSX

Honda has 7:29 to beat for the GT-R and an astounding 7:22 to beat the Viper.  Rumor has it, they’re atempting 7:2x with a naturally aspirated V10 and possibly AWD.

Lamborghini Gallardo at Nurburgring, big moment

20 Seconds in, the world stand still for this driver as he almost bites it, I can’t imagine how terrifying this would be, but just goes to show why this track is so challenging.

Started when Garage419 did the GT-R vs ZR1, and now the fight continues between the ACR and ZR1.  Andi Bartichi put this video together to show the two side by side.  Looks to me like the Viper is a little more composed, but then it should be with all that downforce and rubber.
