Heavens... what a shot:



It needed to be repeated.

Imagine someone rocks up in your driveway and says "you've got 10 seconds to pick one". What to do?!? What to do...?

I'd have to agree with you on that choice. But still, in the heat of the moment I'd have that niggling doubt that I'd be missing out given the GT-R's heaped praise.

Yeh, interesting choice by Car. I think Nissan wanted to target the 997 Turbo with the GT-R, and the GT2 with the SpecV.

In the latest issue of Swedish AMS, there is an article about the new GT3 and Walter Röhrl is supposed to have made the ring in 7:40 in the FL GT3 (five seconds faster than in the 2006 car).

These are of course times set by Porsche so they do not count for comparison but it will be very interesting to see what SA can manage.
