This is a great video of the comparison between the new nissan gt-4 skyline and the porche 911 turbo and a bmw m3

Enjoy

Yesterday is History
Tomorrow is a Mystery
But Today is a Gift
That is why it is called the Present

I had this big long post wrote up when I hit a wrong button and lost it all.  But short version is Jeremy Clarckson of Top Gear has done back to back episodes about this car.  He actually had to stop in the middle of a track race because he pinched a nerve in his neck due to all the insane cornering he put the car through.  He actually broke himself before he could break this car.  Each engine is hand built and no 2 are alike.  There are monitors on the dash to control everything, even a "race mode" that you can put the entire car into that changes everything from gear box settings, suspension settings, fuel and timing curves.  The tires don't even have air in them, they are Nitrogen filled because air was considered too volatile.    Check out the last 2 eps of Top Gear one was on last night and the other was the Sunday before last.
