    Default Super GT GT-R dominates track, but...

    Super GT? Too easy...

    The GT-R is taking over the world. Nissan's new Godzilla-based racer dominated the first round of the Japanese GT series in Suzuki last weekend, finishing first, second and in most of the other scoring positions.

    Satoshi Motoyama and Beniot Treluyer's Nismo GT-R took victory in the first race in front of a crowd of 32,000, edging out the Autech GT-R of... you don't really care about this bit, do you? Point is, the GT-R is so quick that some Japanese commentators are predicting that the GT organisers will impose limitations on the GT-R before the next race in Okayama in mid-April.

    Which seems a bit unfair, really. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, every man for himself and all that. If the GT-R does end up being, erm, pruned, we hope it'll retain its scarier-than-a-clown-convention looks.

    Or its noise. This quick video (see below) only shows the GT-R in winter testing (if you've got anything better, please do email it over) but it's enough to imagine the noise of a gridful of GT-Rs at full throttle.

    Oh, and see that white car in the final shot? That's a regular GT-R playing safety car for the big boys. Looks almost understated in that company, doesn't it?

    ^ someone would crash it, or I'd have to kill them for it. The closest us mere mortals will get to it is in GT5

    Do people out there still care about 0-60?

    I had a feeling this was going to happen.. Toyota, ,Honda, Ferrari, etc all need to step it up.

    It sounds great, alot better than previous nissans.
    It's no ferrari. It's fast, ballsy, but nowhere near the style of the prancing horse.
    That said, the bang for buck is there like the vette z06.
    They should be campaigning that car in the SCCA racing against the vettes and audi's etc.
    Looks like Nissan really did it right.

    I don't think so... did you take a close look at the GT-R at the car show? It's not hard to see why it's so much cheaper than it's competitors.

    I dont know what you guys are talking about
    the GTR is all serious
    you know
    Its not a "pretty" car by any means
    but straight up, and its been proven
    there is no competitor out there
    and quote me on that
    it is, and will stand as the fastest production car
