Interesting I must say.

I expected the bike to win over everything.

Seems the R35 GTR is better through the corners and bike down the straight.

Each had their pros and cons but you would get that when compairing apples and oranges.

Still the R35 GTR is doing quite well and can stand its ground no matter what they put it up against.

its pretty pointless to compare a purpose built 4wd race car against a v8 family sedan... but they did, its pointless to compare an $80000 US gtr to a $200000 US porsche gt2, and they did that too.... drag racing is pointless... shredding tyres on purpose is pointless, building a 500kw GTR when you can only go 110km/h is pointless....

everythings pointless really, but it got porsche owners going, and holden owners without a leg to stand on, and it would be a nice feeling to have that gtr in your garage...

its all for fun and interesting to compare a top end car to a top end bike.. wonder how it wouldve gone against the desmodeci... spose you would need a nismo edition gtr for that to be in the same league.

given that most bikes can out perform most cars on corners.... and the ducati can out-corner most 4 cyl jap bikes due to its traction control system and controllable low down torque, the gtr must be absolutly neck breaking... (as shown by jeremy on top gear)

cheers

that driving would be awesome with some music . its so good i think it would even be bearable if it was yank and had them blah blahing on and telling us stuff like how the bike only has 1/3 as many cylinders as the car and other facts that are just as useless

car will always hold more corner speed than a bike due to its surface area of each tyre x 4.

i raced bikes & have ridden for over 12yrs & yes they are great BUT an 11sec gtr for some reason feels more impressive than a 10sec bike - thats the truth!
