So, my buddy Mike (translate to guy I know from racing waaaaaay back in the day and we're still cordial and whatnot to the point where I could ride ***** in his car for a hot lap if I asked) traded in his UBEREVO for a pristine GTR last Teusday. Showed it to the hoes on Wednesday, raced it a couple of days ago. Wanna see all that in a pic/vid culmination. Of course you do. By the way, the driver of the Mustang Cobra he's racing is named Chuck. I call him Charlie Brown. He doesn't like it but it's funny so I keep doing it. On to the goodness.

Oh yeah, yes, Mike is young. YES, the car is his. YES, he has a GREAT job. YES, his Parents are loaded. YES, the ZO6 is still in the family. YES his Evo was reDONKULOUS. No the GTR isn't as fast as it...YET. And YES, Emry's Evo is almost 600hp.

First off, this thing is ridiculous with all the gadgetry it comes with. Ive never seen so many buttons, not to mention in the display screen the options seem endless. This car seems so advanced that I was almost overwhelmed trying to figure out how to play my Ipod off of it lol.

The ride of the car is truly amazing. On the expressway it felt like it was just floating and I couldn't even tell my speeds (80 felt like 55). Over bumps, tracks, and little potholes the car seems to just glide over them. There's even a mode for a "comfy ride" lol.

But to hell with comfy mode- "R mode" is where its at! Now I really didn't get into it crazy but this car shifts so freakin fast I think its humanly impossible to replicate the speeds (.2 i believe is what it measured- ya this thing can record shift speeds not to mention 500 other things as well). Doing 80-90mph with shifting at 5k seems extremely quick. For how heavy this car is and its Hp level, its almost mind boggling. The car also sounds pretty cool when you give it some gas as well:lol:

I didnt get to go through any turns last night but I did get a few spots with some corners and the car is nuts. I used to say the Evo was like a go-kart, well this thing puts the Evo to shame as far as handling goes.

In comparison with Z06 the car is far more refined. Both have good power, but the Z just has more of it and is well raw. You feel the Z06's speeds more then you do in the GTR. Not that 80 doesnt feel like 50 in the Z06 but when you go through a gear in the GTR it just doesnt feel as quick as your going where as the Z does. I wish I still had a stock corvette to compare with because acceleration as of now the Z deffinitley wins that round lol.

As you can tell, Im still a little bit overwhelmed by this car so as I figure stuff out and play with it ill post it up.
