The brake on GTR indeed very good!
But abit aggressive for daily use in my opinion especially for the stop and go traffic.
just like the M5 it is design for the track not on the road

I think the GTR would be pretty handful in TMS, the car is too big on those twisties. I would be pretty darn scary.

BTW...congrats Dave on the new ride.... can't wait to see it....
its almost the same size as our e60

Ya...and with all those power and torque, plus the speed it can build in such a short distance, I am doubtful that I am capable in controlling it.

I dont need dynamic drive that also cost over 28000hk
I stick to my H&R sway bars
think its a good deal, the dynamic drive spare parts cost more.

the steering on the pre-lci is way too light. if the lci has not changed, I would pay the extra and get the active steering.

how will it do against a top end porsche turbo?
Mike can play PS3 for real everyday now!!!

what colour is it?
believe porsche also use brembo, on paper 911 is a little lighter so probably it might have a slight edge. billy's rs definitely feel much lighter than the gtr in every area. billy just cruised when I sat in his car because it was wet that evening so not able to tell whats the limit for the porsche. in the gtr, I felt there was still a lot of headroom even though we were already going v fast. of course according to nissan, it beats the almost everything in its class on the nurburgring.
