Calling a GT-R "crappy" or a "big fat sloppy pig" is just dense.

How did this turn in a gtr/lambo jack-off fest?

Hope to get a read on the article if I stop by Barnes&Nobles, sounds interesting. It is no surprise the evo was mentioned

And yes, I am sure most of us would not mind cruising the lambo. Sure would be nicer to have hot woman staring at your car over 15 yr old kids haha!

The EVO can be compared to any high-end performance car.

not in stock form...not any more. everybody else has upped the ante. even cheap sports cars destroy the EVO on power. the new EVO X can't even keep up with a mustang GT anymore.

Don't be too quick to judge.

Most Lambo drivers, I reckon, are not as interested in going to track, as say the evo or GT-R owners. Hence, there are not a lot of track video of the bull compare to other makes.

But one should not dismiss the Lamborghini as a car that just fast in a straight line (beside being a chick magnet & looks totally awesome). The Italians don't built a car that only good in a straight line.

Anyway, heres a video of Best Motoring, pitting the GT-R against other supercar, including the Gallardo Superleggara ( the old version at it).

For those that are lazy, the Lamborghini won the race.

Agree. Cars with well over 300+hp are not uncommon these days.

Thank you. These aren't all poseur cars. I've met a couple Evo owners that saw the Clarkson clip and assume that they, in their their bone-stock 110K '03 GSR, will run a superleggera Gallardo into the dirt.

Sorry this took me so long. I have the AutoWeek article as a pdf, but the file is too big to upload here. If you PM me an email address, I'll email it to you. Maybe one of the administrators here can post it even though the file size is too big for me to do it.

Also, here's a link to my thread at SoCalEvo, where the site did allow me to attach the article. See post # 9.

I'm just shocked how fast the GTR is with its power to weight ration compared to cars twice the price. 2011 GTR nurbugring time of 7:24.22. Beating masserati Enzo and Zonda. Its shocking when comparing the price of four. Of course when looking at cars like Enzo Zonda and Maserati, its not always about the performance.
