BEST NISSAN GT-R QUOTES
What's the automotive world saying about the new Nissan GT-R? Car&Driver, MotorTrend, evo, and Road&Track reporting.
"At 300km/h (186mph), gentle autobahn curves become serious turns, and the driver begins wishing he coild see farther down the road. Â At no point, however, did this driver find himself worrying about the car's stability.... Â The dartiness that afflicts some cars at speeds north of 150mph is conspicuous in the Nissan GT-R only by its absence." Â Tony Swan, Car&Driver
"Spear through another chicane and you're climbing up a hill, revs building toward the 7000-rpm peak - V6 thundering in front of your toes, and you'd swear you were in a specially honed track racer - and there's a series of fast corners, swish-swish through them with no hint of body roll." Gavin Green, MotorTrend
"There's no trick to launching the car: Put the shifter into 1st gear, and as you lift off the brake pedal, mash down on the throttle. You'll hear a slight chirp from the rear tires, and before you know it, you're gritting your teeth, as the g-forces squeeze the air from your lungs." Sam Mitani, Road&Track
"By now I'm utterly keyed in to the GT-R way of doing things. Â Brake late, brake deep, flick the left-hand paddle, turn in hard, spot the exit, back on the power, catch the back end with a quarter turn but keep the throttle pinned and let the car magically straighten itself out before you hit 7000rpm and flick the right-hand paddle." Â Henry Catchpole, evo

Crazy Fast Gt-r
Thanks to Edmunds.com's Inside Line, we now have acceleration times for the Nissan GT-R. Granted, 0-60mph isn't everything. Sometimes it's misleading; pointless; and impossible to replicate. However..... the GT-R hit 60 in 3.3 seconds at...
