Looks like fun:

Exactly, it's more fun when you feel like you could die at any second!

Nice speed on the straight there

He's driving that like he's playing Forza! Actually I don't even drive as crazy as that on Forza

fair enough, it doesn't look very composed at all out there on the 'ring though, seems to be out of shape half of the time.

This would be because it's a very very, very, very....

.....very powerful car.

Look at the GTR video and it is all very much smoother and more controlled. This could just be down to a ham fisted driver though.

I'm thinking it might be more down to the four-wheel-drive, the massive amount of computer control and the lower power, actually....

Agreed

.........from the video you get the feeling that driving the GT-R is like going for a hygenists appointment - extremely effective but very clinical and definitely not fun.

Meh. You might think that 'IBM uber alles' is fun. Me, I'm thinking 'not fun' to be honest. If I want fun, I'll save up for a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type. Or a '69 Dodge Charger R/T. Or an Olds Vista Cruiser with a big block. Or Dodge Challenger T/A. Or a Fiat Abarth 695 SS. Or a Ferrari 365GT4 2+2. Or a Lamborghini Countach LP400. Each of which could be bought for the money Datsun want for their supercar-killer than can't actually beat a cart-sprung American car on a slightly demanding piece of German road

Don't get me wrong, I do respect the GT-R. I respect anything that tries to advance automotive technology solely for the purpose of going fast. I just wouldn't want to own one.
