Maybe it's just me....but the new 1.07 Lap time would not have been matched by the 500hp rear wheel drive GT2 in the same conditions the GTR had on tonight's show......looked very dusty/dirty track.......

Ha..Ha......would be a good pic to post on Rennteam Forum....

Fairly obvious to all in the know.....as it makes this car what it is........but more to the point ...R35 owners love to use it in Manual flipping and blipping.. PS: I don't even know why this discussion has gone on so long as it's in every test/review that this automated Clutch Manual Box is Fantastic.........

5th Gear will also have new episodes airing end of next month on Lifestyle Channel......

I am ashamed to own one after visiting their site......their latest ..."we all know that the GTR is not very fast in a straight line...." Abusive one eyed Porsche Nazis that have never driven an R35 and have more to say about the Car then R35 Owners..... PS: Now selling my CS ......Now understand why I mainly get dirty looks when driving it.

Yea....I believe you....but the Germans on Rennteam Forum will not ..........I don't care as I don't plan to move over there. PS: More then likely the figure is somewhere between the RRP and what they are saying the difference is between GTR und der wunderbar Porsche......

I would not move over there anyways........Germany or US........I'll just keep my R35 and......

ISP Playing-up.....

Not so on the Rennteam Forum......Guys there form Germany quoted to me different figures and their was not as much difference as your quote......I suppose it would lie in what was on the floor and they where trying to get rid off versus ordering and Porsche options are very pricey......as suggested above the ZR1 can see a 20% discount of it's Sticker in the US..... But hey this is their argument over in Germany......."not much more then the R35".....

" Corvette's will probablly look a heap more attractive than a GTR when it comes to drive away cost... Just some food for thought..." Maybe in the US....but not here in Australia.....I have imported many items from around the world and I can tell you now that by the time you are sitting behind a registered RHD ZR1 here in Australia it will have cost a lot more then a new R35....Not to mention the headache and red tape that will go with it. Please read below.... http://carsguide.news.com.au/site/news-and...t_corvette_zr1/ " That's no surprise when a C6 conversion is $49,500 and the ZR1 will be worth around $400,000 by the time it is ready to roll " It's the same in Germany the Turbo Porsche is only slightly more the the R35.....but the fact here is that they cost twice as much as the R35 Not unusual to still see C6's selling for 200k http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...4&silo=1011 PS:R35 Is still the Performance bargain ever......faster as well in real world driving due to it's AWD .

" but admitedly if it was one car and one car only the GT-R is very hard to go past. " For sure.......for your Money it's the best by far.....behind the wheel it's safer faster and has more technology and also not as common as Porsches are these days....

" P.S. Godcla, apologies on assuming the ZR1 was pushrod. Still, 2WD and a floorshifter...there's no denying that car is impressive when contrasted with the technological juggernaut that is the R35. " No apologies required....just had to check myself.......ZR1 are very impressive but read the Article below and just remember that we have to pay twice as much here for the ZR1 or Turbo Porka......and this and many other Articles leans towards the GTR.......and for me....I'm not paying 400k (even if I had it) for older technology that's slower.......or 200k for a S/H Z06. http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?se...article_id=6594 PS: I know it's only the Z06 not ZR1 in the Article but hey the ZR1 is 400k here.....$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Lets hope they do better next Monday.......maybe ...I don't know....Test some Cars...

Yea...but only 5 min and then 30 min of f'n lawnmower crap........stole 55 min off my life...

Next Monday they will air the episode where the Stig gets the de-restricted R35 to go around........ PS: Worst episode ever tonight........

" only like the new transaxle because they won't spill their Starbucks. "

I don't know.....It's a real sense of occasion for me every time I get in my R35.......even just sitting in the Garage while I fiddle with the endless buttons and dials......or just idling around town. Now have 6000 plus k's and just finding it very hard to spend time behind any other steering wheel..... I would rather go slow in my R35 then feel like I'm going fast in a 350 or 370.....(Sorry not having a go at 350/370's)

" But for me it doesn't change the fact that the Porsches are still amazing cars." Porsche have made a name for them selfs over many years of racing and making damn fine sports cars but they have now been threatened by other car manufacturer’s and may no longer be the wisest choice for your hard earned $.....but maybe for the rich that want the prestige to go with the badge/name...... For me I want the best package for my dollars .........R35 Just remember that the Porsche Cayman S is in the same Price bracket as the R35 and I can tell you that their is no comparison......it's been said a thousand times....got to spend well over 300k with Porsche and then the R35 will still do it easier....safer and faster.....

ZR1 Pushrods.....? http://www.zr1netregistry.com/ZR1_engine_blowup.htm Anyways...that's not what the R35 is about....Anytime...Anywhere...Anyone..... You will find that the ZR1 and cars like the GT2 will not be as good All the time (depending on conditions) and same with Anywhere and their is no doubt that one requires a lot more skill to get a GT2 to IT'S LIMITS......so not Anyone .... But hey it's all good...... You know that the ZR1 will cost twice as much as an R35 Here...right..?

Nothing like being able to keep your hands on the steering wheel when hammering and maximum concentration needed on steering and breaking etc.. Just watch the Youtube clip of the attack on Porsches time at the ring.........Hands on the wheel and little time if any wasted on gear changes..... Most reviews have given the Box the big as being one of it's main features...........

Part where Hitler ask's everyone that bought a Porsche to leave the room......and the whole frickin room clears.....

As you know it is a manual with automated clutches........so when you have it in manual and R Mode it shifts up and down just as normal manual floor shift would as it will only change up or down when you hit the pedals.......just does it a shit load quicker and it's one of the reasons why this Car is so brutally efficient from standing start or just anytime you drive it...... All my other cars are floor shift Manuals and now feel like antiques.......Their are some pedal shift mechanisms fitted to some cars to avoid as they are slow and clumsy........but the R35's fast changing box is one of it 's strenght's . The R35 would not be as quick and as easy to drive with the floor shift mech..........(my 2 cents worth anyway....)

Yea old...old...old....but still funny as ......

I have only had one very late model 911 next to me and I think he knew it was going to be one sided and behaved himself and stayed just in my quater panel...I can't get any serious takers.....I think they are all in the know...... Some more Pics of Exige 240R Mods.... Pan.....AP Rotors going on....and pile of 240R SC Kit straight from Lotus Sport UK....
