Jay Leno's Garage - 2009 Nissan GT-R Video Review

yeah, that is a cool site. the gtr is a bit weak though imo, while the slr gives me a hardon like a teenager on viagra.

ill take one of those.

 

VERY cool!!! .... I haven't checked on Jay's site in a few weeks. Thanks for reminding me. :friends:

 

Launch mode 4500 RPM AWD. I wonder what the 60' will be.

 

cars with "launch mode" in my opinion are for guys who cant drive...i dunno why but that just is dumb to me






i guess i need a car with launch mode then :sorry:

 

The absolute best, most spectacularly wonderful part about this car is it has 20" wheels. As such its expected that R compound track radials will finally become available in 20" sizes. Their stock front size is a 255/40/20 and that will work, but I bet someone will make a 255/35/20 and that will be the *perfect* size for us.

 

I really really wish I had launch mode... I got 2 launch modes
1) Sit and spin like Drew, lift, spin like Drew, lift, and then it's in 2nd.
2) The other guy didn't think I was racing.

[best 60': LESS than 2.30]

 

hahahahaha i hear that...i think my best was 2.01 or something like that

 

I like ALL cars but IDK Steve, I saw both at the SF auto show last Nov (lucky they had them both) and damn that GT-R has presence! It's much badder looking in person than in pix. The SLR is cool too only ... it's kinda funny looking in person with a reaaaaaaaaaal long snout, the proportions just aren't right, imo. One car that was really bad azz in person was that new Audi R8 (lucky again it was there), have you seen one of those?? That thing is sweet!!

 

Rick, Rick, Rick... how many times do you have to be told... if its foreign, its automatically inferior, despite proven facts and the numbers to back it up?!?! LMAO!

 

we had a big old fight about this car already didnt we? lol

 

Yep! Mentioning one as almost as bad as mentioning the "M" word, lol!

 

Fight? Not really... debate? Yep. That Nissan is badass. Period. I'm still not the biggest fan of its appearance, but its abilities are without question incredible.

 

haha i meant debate...and i never doubted its performance...

i just say that of the 7 Nissans my family has owned over the past 15 years (dont ask...now that i am older i have talked them all into buying better cars haha)

ALL of them have had serious major problems....

that car will be good for as long as it runs...which is questionable to me...that is why i dont like this car...nissan as a brand is just about as low as it can be on the food chain in my eyes...but again that is my own personal opinion from a former nissan owner lol

 

I've got that that launch technique down perfectly...lol.

 

i wish i was jay leno.......
