So.... who won? (as if I had to ask... )

[cd!]

Wow!! 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!!

Nasty!!!... 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)

Well that's why it is a legend... still keeps on kicking ass the competition in a global basis, that's the hobby of Godzilla ya know.

You mean they increased the weight handicap of the GT-R even more?! he he. Still trying to tame the beast I see.

Just watched a tv program here in japan today.. the GTR was beaten by a Gallardo Superleggera by a few tenths of a sec on a 3 lap race. and Keiichi Tsuchiya was the one on board the "GODZILLA".
