There are two videos now available to watch.

GT-R Proto

Watching this thing in motion, I nearly soiled myself.
I can't wait to read the specs and price.
This car is gonna move!

Wowo I guess the car is gonna be freaking fast. I would get this over an M3. Reason is its cheap to make it go even faster, like all Japanese cars. Handling should be really good as well since its probably race-tuned....I would definitely get this car over an M3...

Don't be too hasty now.

We still don't know what BMW has in mind for the M3.

If I remember correctly, this car is shooting for Porshce 996/997 performance (the same one that races in the GT2 class), but people have been comparing it to the Corvette Z06. I personally think it's too early to be throwing around comparisons with the GTR as no official specs have been released. Still, it's fun to read what people think.
