SLS, Audi, 911, GTR in Japanese racing video....

Anybody else see this before? Based on the comments the GTR was not stock. The cars attitude during each lap is fun to watch. The SLS driver seems to have his hands full every lap.

That race was suspicious. Not to say the SLS would win, but the way the gtr comes from behind is smelly.

no doubt. i don't think SLS would win either but the way GTR went pass the Turbo S is just so funny. clearly the Turbo S was a faster car & also has the better brakes (ceramic standard). not to mention it's much lighter than the GTR also. just ''pass'' simply didn't make sense at all. oh well, i haven't yet remember seeing any Japanese car lose in a Japanese made video though, so i guess i shouldn't be surprised.

the SLS is still the best cruiser in this group. that's all i care about. each car has different purpose in the group. if i want to be the fastest, i'd rock the Turbo S. if i want to have the most fun & excitement, i'd take the F430 Scuderia. no doubt the GTR is the best for its value. but it lacks the class factor as the SLS or R8.
