    gtr forums are talking sub 7.10 but i have my doubts. nismo has record of underwhelming and over priced products. they would need to change turbos, r compound tires, big weight reduction, etc. and i dont think it will get them. i predict just under 7.20

    youre right. base gtr is 7.18. so now i will guess nismo at 7.14 which is obviously fast but i dont think nismo will be all that it should. nismo should be to regular gtr as black series is to amg. i think it will disappoint but we will see

    I hate to say this but that white Porsche without the badges would be mistaken for a kit car.

    Does anyone know why all the 918 Spyder test mules have the huge panel gaps around the headlights and front bumper?

    Certainly, the P1 is fast. :)

    But, to say you won't feel the same "speed like you simply would not believe" about LaFerrari or the 918 Spyder... well, that would be folly!

    He praised the 458 over the 12C. He has also referred to Ferrari being a "scaled down version of God."

    I'll say one thing - Clarkson should smoke fewer cigarettes. Every time I see him in BTS footage he has a *** in his mouth.

    Scuderia980, it looks like the pods off Denver west parkway, which would make sense because that's where the national renewable energy lab (NREL) is located. They do a lot of EV research there.
