today i have been in a very very very very fast car! and not a 7. take a guess
my cousin works for a large company (multi million pound turnover) and the MD lent him his fun car for the weekend. he also has a big merc but im not
up on them so i dont know what it is, and a ferrari 612. so can you guess what his fun car is?
its not a 7
its modern
has rear seats (although ot much room at all)
its japanese
and turbo'd
i have been in a ferarri 355 a few yers ago,had 2 fast imprezas,an evo 8 and 2 BEC's but this thing was a whole new animal. it was easily the
fastest car ive ever been in, and at one point i had to ask him to slow down as i was scared the first time he really put his foot down in a low
gear inearly swallowed my tongue. seriously fast from the passenger seat!

yeah! you guys are good, spot on. 2011 plate nissan GTR. truly awesome peice of engineering. if i was to be a little critical i would say the ride was
very very hard but its only to be expected from a machine with performance like it had.
absolutely astonishing power and performance. i hope my s2000 engined mnr is half as quick!

Yep, in terms of power weight the GTR is a pussy compared to a modern superbike.

Another vote for two wheels. My Triumph sprint is not an out n out sport bike but will still do nearly 170mph and no car Ive come across yet will beat
me from a standing start.

they havent actually got that much power in terms of modern production and modified cars but i think its more down to the gadgetry getting the power
down. Most cars with the same power would spin wheels losing acceleration. Also they grip exceptionally well in the bends.

Yup, Nissan GTR point to point on realistic bumpy normal roads is quicker than pretty much anything.......

it was very very fast. unlke anything ive ever been in. power delivery is awesome and id say point to point like eddie said, you would need to be a
maniac on 2 wheels to keep up! especially when wet

Awwww... I figured it was a GTR before I finished reading Dans initial post! Couldn't you guys have waited until I came on the site so I could
have been the one to 'get it'?

.. and yup, bike figures are truly astonishing, but 'bike speed' never felt as fast to me as 'car speed'.
Does that even make sense!?

Yup, 120 on a fireblade was a nice jaunt in the countryside, 120 in a car scares the bejesus out of me

Over 3 seconds faster round Cadwell than a Duc 1098, the GTR is the performance bargain of the decade

You could take the wife to dinner in a Sierra. Or make the car more exciting and leave her at home.
