I am waiting for them to take deposits, money in hand and ready.

Unofficial lap time right now is 7:38. The Carrera GT was 7:28. Sounds like Nissan was a bit optimistic. The 911 TT was 7:40, so the GTR is marginally faster, but the 911 GT2 posted a 7:32 not too long ago.

Interesting. You have to wonder if it is the 580bhp version they are testing. I would think so. Not that impressive when the 997 Turbo has much less horsepower.

Yeah, I believe it was the high hp model.

BTW, have you picked up rFactor? I'm broke but once I get the money I'm gonna pick up GTR2

Not yet. I have been staying so busy just finding time for GTR2 is tough.

I did get the new ATI vid card and added on a second monitor with GTR2 PD. It is a free realtime telemetry program. Shows tire psi, temp, brake temp, fuel load, engine temps etc. Really helps with setting the cars up.

again, hp is not the key to good track times. If it were then you would not see so many miatas with stock power and E30's with < 200hp spanking 300, 400 and 500+ STi's and Evo's in lap times. There is soooooooooo much more to a car.

Some (most) people want a quality car for 80k not some Japanese car with a plastic interior. This is why people with Ferraris would rather spend 200k on a F430 rather than a corvette and mod the hell out of it. It's not only about speed.

I do agree with you there. I was assuming that the car's got a pretty nice interior, I guess I was in that mindset since I mentioned the Phaeton. There was nothing wrong with that car except the badge on it. But yeah, I can definitely see that a quality, nice-on-the-inside car with competitive performance is worth more money that a plain-fast low-end car.
