Default A study in extremes... (56k ah, no)

My best friend JG works as an editor/art director for a national car mag, so sometimes he brings over some dope press cars for me to drive (Z06, Moesler Raptor, STI etc...) But I must say this one is my favorite...



It's strange how much I love the GTR even though it's just about the polar opposite of the Boxer in every way-











Interior (with amazing virtual gauge pod display)-



My daughter Ruby's impression of the GTR's front end-



JG the man himself-



OK, so my amateur driving impression tooling around Daytona Beach... friggin' AMAZING. All the performance hype is true. But the thing that blew me away was how docile it was, you can drive it like a Camry and it's a normal daily driver. But floor it and it's this unrelentingly powerful and sure-footed supercar. It really feels like a STI on steroids, with twice as much of everything. I would much rather have this car over a Z06, and pretty much anything else.

GOJIRA!

Dang, man, that's awesome. Considering how few people will get to drive one, enjoy it as much as you can.
