Another excellent review of the GT-R vs. 911 and R8

ToroKuro · 20th August 2008, 01:27 PM

SPOILER WARNING!! Dont read on if you are waiting to buy the mag!!

Wow, that is probably the most glowing review yet. Steve Sutcliffe loved it first time around, but this is something else!

Favourite quote: "And what of the GT-R? ...it destroys them (new 911 and R8), bludgeons them into submission, rips them apart, throws what's left of them into the gutter and then howls off over the next horizon. Dynamically this is as dramatic a demolition job as I have ever known among a group of supposed rivals, and that applies on all roads: wet, dry, smooth, lumpy. Wherever you drive, the GT-R rules".

I got goosebumps reading that!!!

"The is a new king, and it's called the GT-R". Sweet.

It was fitting that this is the first issue I received of my subscription from the motorshow

Awesome stuff!

It also won "Best Sporting Car" in Auto Express this week!

tokyogtr · 20th August 2008, 11:03 PM

is it just me or are all these rave reviews getting a bit boring? i know the car is not out in the uk yet but because i've already got one i'm hoping to start seeing some "owned car reviews" like they have in the back of EVO. david yu if you're listening, buy one and start your monthly reviews!!!

I think that'll be the first thing they do once the UK version is out.

The autocat review was pretty rubbish, not enough scratching posts or furball trays in the interior apparently, so no purrfect score there! However, autocar thought it was great!!

Only when you actually own one! For us poor sods in the UK, we need these little snippets to keep us going
