I kinda think you're missing the point on the Stig intro. Think GTR, think Nissan, think VQ38, think active rear axle, think ....... you get the idea.

+ve: They said it would eat a 911 turbo. We all smiled indulgently. They said it would redefine the definition of a supercar. We will admit a slight giggle at this. Then early reviews mentioned the iconic Veyron in the same sentence. We laughed. I was ready to cut this Nipponese upstart down to size with suitable righteous fury. Then I drove it. Now I nod sagely and pretend I never doubted.

-ve: Supercars are meant to be sleek, radiating refinement and style. The GTR squats there and dares you to ask it to leave the supercar enclosure. Then you see the interior. I admit that it is purposeful. But more plastic than a line up of Playboy centrefolds and more knobs than a board meeting at Gucci make you realise that when they said redefine, they meant bring down to their level.

The Stig: Some say he set lap records at the Nurburgring before he could walk. Others say he's the result of the same secret experiment that produced Michael Schumacher. We just know him as...

Positive:
It's Japanese, the looks. The pricetag in comparison with other supercars. Can beat a 911 around the Nürburgring.

Negative:
It's a Nissan. The MFD is stupid and has pointless things on it. Something about understeer.

Stig:
Some say, he was the man responsible for the Porshe factory fire! But all we know...is he's called... The Stig!

Great read! You guys are funny..

This thread Clarkson him self must have a read...

[Rising sun]

] Every once in a while, an automobile comes along that changes the game completely. A car that makes you wonder about the validity of today's laws of physics. Is E really mc squared? Does more weight necessarily mean less performance? Can a block achieve some of the best aerodynamic numbers possible? and of course, can a car from a company that used to be known as Datsun really put a porsche 911 turbo and our beloved Audi R8 to shame on the track? With the new 480 hp fire breathing Nissan GT-R straight from the land of samurais and PlayStation, we've discovered the answer to all those questions, and by God does it deviate from the expected! There has been a major coupe d'etat in the supercar world, and Stuggart lies under the guillotine.

Negative: This car won't be winning any beauty pageants. It looks like a Hercules Beetle got between the sheets with Robocop and a Japanese Gundam joined in for a threesome. There are more switches and gadgets than an air traffic control tower, and it weighs more than Nissan's Qashqai SUV. It makes one feel skillful and worthless as a driver all at once. However It is resounding proof that whoever said if you put AWD and turbochargers on a pig it would still remain a pig...was dead wrong. Well the saying doesn't quite go like that, but I'm sure you get what I'm saying.

Stig intro: Some say he lapped the nurburgring in record time in an R34 skyline GT-R running on cement tires, Others say he's got plasma coated finger tips, all we know is he's the Stig

Well shoot, bloody hell I'll redo the stig

[Bigrigger]

My vote is for Rising Sun so far, thats sounds just like Clarkson, espically the threesome part, that was perfect.

[sin]

Stig - reworked:

Some say that when he was born his mother was in labour for 7 minutes and 38 seconds exactly, others say that he was sucked out of the womb using twin turbos in less than 3.5 seconds all we know is ...................

[ac427]

More Stig:
Some say he was born with both and that the GPS in his helmet is aligned with uranus all we know is he's called the Stig

[Lith]

Jae ftw

[mindlessoath]

i thought the top gear guys DID review the car. at least the magazine. i know the show hasnt aired... i know they got to drive the car in japan. i dont think they got to drive the car on there home turf.

i cant wait to see the review of the GT-R! i hope they compair it to jun's R33 !!!!

Positive- The Nissan GTR is a supercar that makes you feel almost superhuman.One in which your mother could get in and drive and not want to hand over the keys.One in which you would quite happily leave your wife for if it meant that you could spend more time in the car. One where it's like falling in love with Jessica Alba after being with Paris Hilton, you'll never wanna go back to Paris, no matter how much you like starring in homemade videos!!!The GTR is quite simply a car with no equal. Period.


Negative- D.A.T.S.U.N


Stig - Some say he once received an invitation from NissanMaindealer and drove all the way to South Africa to see the great man??????!!! Others say he can only count numbers from 32 to 35 using the letter "R".All we know is that he is the albino love child of the "Terminator"!!???

[Fuggles]

Well initial comments from Jeremy seem to suggest he might like it. Let's wait and see shall we?

[ticketmaster123]

...some say he comes with 20 inches as standard...and his shaft is made of carbon fibre...all we know is: he's called The Stig.

[Fuggles]

Just heard...........

The Stig intro will be judged by Nissan's Manager Sports Cars

[Sa-Ib-San]

Sorry if i've missed this, but who actually was ajudged the winner of the stig intro??? Not that i think i should have won or anything of course.....ahem...
