This was my first video from Jay Leno's garage, and he doesn't seem to make a good automotive journalist. He made a major boo boo saying Nürnburgring instead of Nürburgring.

"Okay I think I'm now emotionally involved." - Jay Leno on the GT-R :p

Love the vid! I never get tired of seeing the GT-R :thumbup:

Thanks!
Nice vid.

I'll Cosign to that! :thumbup:

This car should be one with an interchangable body. Like it would just be amazing. Performance wise its a technological achievement. 480hp from a bi-turbo v6, but it's awd so you get all of those horsies. its unreal. can't wait to test drive one my self.

That's all you have to say to such a great video? :egads:

Anyway, loved it, love that car... man, that must win car of the year everywhere when it finally ships... just incredible. :agreed: :woot:

Great review!!!

wow a real review from a real person... outstanding :thumbup:

did you see that front end lift when hes stepping on it??? *sigh*

I still don't understand why it is compared to the the bugatti? I think this is what Jay said " I have driven the buggatti veyron and this car has the same feel... with a lot less power." To me, that is like saying that a fiat bravo has the same feel of a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano... without the horsepower.

Anyway, I liked the way Jay presented the car otherwise.

I think he was commenting on the instant thrust you feel when you hit the gas.

He's not the first guy to compare it to a Bugatti... A couple of other
publications have done it. The word efforless has also been thrown around
a lot and if the GT-R rides anything like it does in GT5-P it's an insane rocket
ship :eek2:

No he was commenting on all the electronics and just needing to stomp it to go fast with no tricky manual tranny or anything, much like the Veyron which of course is much bigger and more powerful.

That the two cars are mentioned by a well known die hard and knowledgeable car enthusiast is great praise for Nissan.

This car is a winner in every way. The people who should be concerned are its target - PORSCHE. I'd take the GT-R over a 997 turbo every time. And the GT-R is probably at least 1/3 less expensive even with markups.

Thanks for the Vid!!

What a car!

Don't mind Dave600hL, he's the biggest GT_R hater around so u have to take his GT-R posts with a grain of salt.

That is ironic considering your constant "go Nissan" posts, so stick to the topic and not comment on what a member may like/dislike.

People are ENTITLED to NOT LIKE something, for whatever reason(s) it maybe.

But yet... I am one of the few that have driven the car and in that respect I am commenting on my impressions. You my friend have not. So the intrest to not rehash old topics I have to agree with 1SICKLEX.

I wonder if they gave Jay the keys for a few days?

lets put it this way.
i can say that i've driven the 911 GT2 and call it a rattling, uninspiring, POS not deserving of the porsche badge. i'll also include that i know a few owners who were willing to sell it at a loss because they hate it so much.

but 99% of the automtive world, all of whom are PROFESSIONAL drivers and reviewers say the 911 is one the best cars they've ever driven.
but yet i still continue to bash the car and post my "opinion" on every GT2 thread i see.

gets old doesn't it?
if i said this about the IS-F, i would be banned here. but i'm entitled to my opinion right? :rolleyes:

LOL, I feel sorry for you.

*dool* can't wait to get my hands on one of those
