Fifth Gear: GT-R vs 997 Turbo behind the scenes
Good thread going on NAGTROC about the recent Fifth Gear shoot out. Here is a video that gives a behind scenes color on what Senna really thought about the two cars. Sounds like he preffers the Porsche for street driving regardless of track results.

Holden’s Z06 Powered LS7 HSV
The Aussies sure know how to make a car! I know Pontiac has a lot of heritage in their styling, heck I’ve owned three, but when it comes to Holden they should just import them as is. (I’m almost tempted to say leave them right hand drive even…almost). Maybe Pontiac will wise up on a super high performance G8 and bring it over with the full Holden Kit.

Motor Trend, Stop Making this hard!
I was very excited to see the new Motor Trend test to find “America’s best handling car”…. though I think it’s silly to not include the Vette, since the ZR1 is just as new as the Shelby 500KR and Viper ACR. That said I was SUPER ANNOYED by the lack of a clear leaderboard. Sheesh, stop trying to placate everyone, man up here and stack these cars properly! Since Motor Trend is too something, to do this, I’ve done it for them based on their own data.

Fifth Gear Porsche 911 GT2
Mental, absolute nuts. Fifth Gear is right about this car. They took off the AWD “safety feature” added power and increased lag just to keep you on your toes. What a nut case car!
