So what do you think? Looks better than the first and second ones? (Driving Miss Daisy was better than the Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.)

this one looks 1000 times better then 2 and 3.... they actually brought the cast back which makes more sense then callin a movie the same name and using a different cast..its just weird...but cant wait till next summer

We tend to take the word from a mechanical engineer, especially ones that graduated from a prestigious university (C/Ds Larry Webster is a graduate of Lehigh.) But we would be happy to take your credentials in rebuttal.

Of course all-wheel drive cars will have a bias in normal conditions — rarely do they have a 50/50 front/back split in normal conditions. It’s their all-wheel drive ability that will sometimes cause a greater power loss.

But we at TopSpeed were intrigued about C/Ds claim as well, so that’s why we talked to Colin Price at Nissan, who had a hand in the GT-R development (he reluctantly admits its him in the spy shots testing the car at Laguna Seca.) Price explained that the car is more efficient through engineering tensions and aerodynamic downforce than most all-wheel drive cars and was more the reason than the rear-wheel bias.

But you already knew that by being a loyal reader and read our post from Price a few hours later:

this car is preety damn awsome but the 1967 shelby fastback look’s cooler, if you dont know the car im talking about it was in the movie (gone in 60 seconds)

damn, the hood on that thing is huge so the engine must be a monster, it put’s out 770 horsepower, it outdose the newer lambo’s wish dose 500hp damn this thing is a MONSTER! i wanta see it at a drag strip.

this look’s like somthing off of tokio drift,

Oh and the famous dynotests by the totally infamous and incompetent Car and Driver lot. As the master morons themselves stated, a normal RWD will lose 15% of its power when tested and an AWD will lose 20%, their theory anyway.

What you losers forgot was that the GT-R behaves as a rear wheel drive in normal conditions, delivering 98% of the torque to the rear.

So if you calculate 15% as powertrain losses, you get 63hp, which if you add to the 420hp that you achieve, you get a total of, guess what! 483 horsepower, very close to Nissans claim.

All right, that is it.

You wanna know why the Z06 lost? Because its a 70 grand piece of junk, deal with it. Its not your everyday affordable supercar, you morons actually paid 70 grand for an car with an interior as cheap as a hooker, while getting just an overpowered pushrod engine. Its no engineering miracle. GM was counting on wannabe patriots to dish out that large a sum for an American car and they succeeded. The fact that it has a carbon fiber chassis and still weighs only 200kg less than the GT-R while only having RWD is more garbage that the "V8" fans swallow so readily.

The Ro 80 designer Claus Luthe also worked on the forerunners for Audi’s A6 and the A4. The Ro 80 had an influence on what Audi’s shape has looked like for over the last 30 years. So any resemblance is because of distant bloodlines.

I think BMWshould make a supercar as much as the M3 M5 and M6 are performance wise good they are not like a F-430 BMW should stay with the competition for example there rivals Audi and mercedes both have supercars the SLR and the R8 I am not expecting something like an SLR but more like an R8 and besides the M6 is similar in price range but instead they produce something totaly new I mean ofcourse there going to be the leaders in the PAS market because there the only ones as for other markets like sedan I think there is good competiton what they should also do is an X5 Pickup that would be nice to think about and will also get porsche to think about expanding there market but again theres fuel costs so probably an x3 pickup for environmentalist

Speaking of audi doesnt Ro 80 seem similar to R8 as in Audi R8
