Thought this would be interesting. Performance.tv - New GTR R35 vs Tuned Nissan Skylines GTR’s

I love that new skyline... but the older ones are still bad ass.

I would have thought the r35 would have at least placed higher than the r33... pssht screw the r35.

J/K

I just saw one in person for the first time and the re070s are huge. With the amount of power and grip this car has at its disposal it should theoretically be able to change the direction of rotation of the earth.

R35 should've placed higher than R33. It is quicker in lap time.
Both R33 and R34 are pushing 600 ps. R35 is only at 500 right? Also heavier.

Great video. I was a little surprised to see the R35 keep up with the tuned cars.

Me too. Just think what an upgraded set of brakes/lines and/or TBE would do. Drool!

The video is great to watch, but I don't think the results/lap times are that indicative of the CARS. - Those driver's ALL have some glaring errors in the video, if any of them had made less mistakes they could have won...

I've watched a bunch of the "Best motoring series". These guys are all pro drivers, driving cars that other people have modded and tuned. So my guess is that these cars are not set up for the driver. Kind of a run what ya "brung" type of race. It was nice to see the new skyline atleast keep up with the modded cars on the straights, and it looked like it cornered better than the modded cars. Still that red one was sexy. Still a skyline is probably the only car I sell my STi for.
