Video title is obviously a joke, but my god it really puts it in to perspective how fast those GTRs are.

That GTR is Stupid fast.. Tal at my shop ACG San Diego had a 1000 rwhp one that very similar.. He ended up selling it because he thought he might die in it.. Now on to the Ferarri, had a chance to drive the 458 at exotics racing in LV and let me tell you absolutely AWESOME car, a little underpowered but the steering and transmission wer off the charts GREAT.. Also drove a 430 scud, audi R8 V10, and 997ttS.. 458 WAS BY FAR THE BEST.. Not even close...

I have driven a v10 R8 as well, loved the traction and fast shifting auto transmission. I bet it could have been real fun with a twin turbo kit.

I liked the Audi as well.. Underpowered IMO needs More, very well balanced.. Did not really care for the single clutch tranny as it would buck on shifts at speed.. I beleive the new model comes with a dual clutch which will help alot....

AMS GTR pulled the front wheels up a few inches at Great Lakes Dragaway in the last day or two. Pics floating around the net now.
