GT-R video

I thought everyone might like this video from Jay Leno's site on the GT-R. His site has tons of cool things on it anyway for a car nut but check this one out!

Nice clip. Jay states that he had an SPL 1600 in high school. I suppose that's where he got his taste in cars...

And Mr. K visited his garage? That would be cool.

Cool video.

Interesting that he says that the car feels like it has more than 480 HP, because in the latest issue (I think it was the latest issue) of Car and Driver they have an article that claims they put two different GT-Rs on a chassis dyno and recorded over 505HP at the wheels.

C&D is claiming that the cars that have been presented to the car mags and other reviewers must have much more than the claimed 480 horsepower, perhaps as much as 520. (I don't remember how they calculated that number, or even it is exactly what they said.)

Car and Driver stated their case and left the rest of the question unasked, namely will the production cars also have more power than claimed, or...

I wish it was me. My wife was laughing at me chatting it up with the Italian valet about the car. She's so tolerant. The valet said it's $150k car and when he first saw it he thought Aston.
