Hey Ted. I think that during your reviews you should do exactly what I just experienced. You getting into the throttle, being more aggressive with the drive but at the same time that nice modern snare & bass was soul melting. Thanks man. 🤟🏾🤞🏾 btw.. I stopped to write this comment at 10:05

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Perfect engine, perfect drivetrain, perfect speed, perfect everything about the GT-R~ Idc what people say about it, 12 years later and this is still probably one of the best sports cars ever made. The dedication of the people who built this thing has to be commended~ I agree that there is nothing wrong with driving a GT-R in this day and age of sports cars ~~

Not worth 100000 tho. I think that's the main reason people shit on the gtr nowadays.

[@TTundragrizzly]

[@ItsTrizzy262]

I do that in my Maxima too feels weird not to. Kick my shoes on the side of the car.

[@keithprice6581]

As you pointed out Topher, it's incredible that this car is now considered analog by today's standards. I remember when it was called the 'playstation car' when it was new.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Yeah in 2009, it was super revolutionary in terms of technology, and 12 years later, it's definitely outdated, but in a good way~ It has aged very well in my opinion.

I remember in a Japanese preproduction car Nissan engineers took it out on a closed hwy in a heavy downpour and were going 150 mph! They continued at this speed for several miles. The car lost traction a few times from hydroplaning but the car's traction control quickly enacted and kept the car in a straight line.

That gtr has 2 air intakes with 2 throttle bodies for more air and for more power with twin turbos rather than other v engines like v8 engines with a single throttle body.
