April 30th, 2008 10:00 PM #3Wow!! U mean Sakuraba beat the crap out of Chuck Lidell and Goerge St. Pierre?!! Well, as of now their have been very impressive reviews for this Ninja, although I heard American Cowboys and Sleek European Spies have been trying to criticize the car down to the bone. He he... I can really tell they are indeed threatened.
Hey this may be a a start of a new era for Japanese performance cars lead by Godzilla himself!!

May 13th, 2008 09:39 PM #4Nasty!!!... eh how much more if they used the supercar's V-spec model?!
And guys did you know that this beast was so scary the GT500 decided to put a 50 kilo handicap on this new Godzilla before it races? a first time in the GT series. Record setting again huh? (I believe the R32-R34 had a 40 kilo weight handicap, the highest then)

June 29th, 2008 12:00 AM #7[SIZE=2]Hey score 1 point for the lambo!... at last somebody did tame Top Gear's Supercar/beast of the Year at a certain point. But I guess the Godzilla still leads their match up.. by still a long shot. There's quarter mile drag, world known race track lap time records, motegi race w/ fellow lambo Murcielago[/SIZE], 911 Turbo and Exige S, etc. etc. As the critics says, Japan's National Performance car is currently King.
See this vid (part1 and 2) from U.K's Autocar- Nissan GTR vs. Porsche 911 GT3 vs. BMW M3. He said... wow and baby Veyron... but he keeps referring to the Nissan GT-R as a Skyline GT-R. Hey it's a Skyline no more bub. And oh did I mention that the GT-R is the heaviest of the 3? So what will happen if the much lighter more powerful V-Spec version come out? world domination inevitable.
