New Series Fifth Gear: Bruno Senna GTR VS 997 Turbo - Page 4 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

if 7 gears means a longer gearing in top gear then the car might break the 200mph barrier as its current top speed is simply where it reaches the rev limiter in 6th gear

unless the car was in her name or they are married he didnt need to since under UK law if you buy something that the seller does not own you do not own it (hense people who buy rung cars loose them)

I thought the GTR v 911 Turbo clip was more than acceptable. GT-R was faster for a start and Senna was more than happy to drive it and certainly appeared to enjoy driving it.

I'm sure the weather conditions were not ideal but even so.......

Weather conditions were fair and ok seeing as both cars were tested in the wet on the same day .

I think people are being a little harsh about 5th Gear.

Tiff may not be that exciting, but he is a damn good driver and I would still shag VBH........

Cheers,

axolotl · 10th September 2008, 05:36 PM

i think they're both excellent drivers and VBH still looks cute to me, definitely not passed her sell by date....well if she is then i probably am too...i'm sure i'm older than her, Andrew

Ben´s GT-R has superb sound in the FG test. The exhaust is not stock right ?

Mookistar · 11th September 2008, 03:57 PM

shame they chose such a shit track to test it on

mook

Enjoyed watching that clip but think that as Bruno had driven the 911 turbo before, it had a slight unfair advantage.
Let him have a re run after using the Gtr a while longer.

Here's a test, on TV, with the nephew of an immortal racing driver driving the most important road car produced in the last 20 years, beating a 911 Turbo round a track.

Instant cut to the two presenters, and what do they say?

'Even though I'm straight - I really fancy him. Isn't he cool?'.

Jesus Christ - fifth gear is just f88king cack. Thats the worst review of a car I think I've ever seen. The only thing they could find to remark on was the track 'de-limiter' that is only usable and necessary in Japan.

T8ats. Complete t8ats.

I just picked up an Australia Mag that pitted their top of the line V8 VXR8 Holden (with GM 7l engine) against the Ford GT, Lambo 540-4 and the GTR from Haltech (tho it wasn't sure if the Haltech was stock)

They used a V8 Supercar race driver to test all the cars on the same circuit. The GTR smacked all of them. Will scan the review when I get back.

Interestingly, he said the GTR was the closest feel to HIS own V8 supercar in terms of performance, shift points and stability :P

Oddly enough, while Bruno Senna only made oblique references, I get the feeling he's saying similar things abt GTR (like how there's not enough aero in the TT to push the front down.. but he doesn't make a direct reference to it on the GTR)
