are u serious?
yes you must try it in HK
big power cars are useless in short twist roads in HK.
most of the time they are in 1st or 2nd gear.
most corners are within 100 meter or so, that is why I can keep up on corners
a civic can out run a 545 easy

1 more thing 1 of our member can pull away of all our 5er in a 323i
I think its also down to the driver, driving style

I don't know, bro - when we had a GT-R at one of our twisties meets this summer, the GT-R looked like it could eat M5's for breakfast with it's handling alone - I'm not even talking about the power.
I know that all twisty road in US and UK are long not short so it will eat a M5 with easy

On a very twisty track i'd love to see the GTR compete with the M3 CSL.
it may not beat it but it will keep up with it.

Pingu, you should google the road so people have an idea of how twisky the road are

In that road, civic type R can beat Ferrari with ease (downhill tho)

I have to agree. During our second Poconos meet this summer, I had member Extassy's GT-R running right in back of my 550 in some hellacious twisties. I was pushing my 550 as hard as it would go without running it off the road. And the GT-R in my rearview mirror looked like it was taking a walk in the park -- zero body roll and totalled composed. The GT-R is an amazing performance car.

GT-R definitely is an amazing car, people underestimates its performance from its coupe look,
but in fact, it is truely in the super car league

on google earth it is 22?22'54.96"N 114? 6'43.62"E
when you zoom in you can see how short the roads are.

i am still trying to figure out the logic behind a 525 being faster then GT-R in any scenario, in any way, for any reason. I think explaining the logic behind the statement would help the skeptics, myself included, to better understand.

I did not say faster, I said I can keep up with it on corners.
No car in this world can beat it. it just 1 mad car
