NURBURGRING LAP WITH HILARIOUS BAD PASSENGER

Recommended Posts

This video was posted on you tube at the request of the passenger....Lapping the famous Nurburgring in germany in my Skyline GTR34 which is running 480hp(but is capable of over 600hp.) But i'm not that established with the ring yet...

 

The passenger poor John form up North asked for a lap while under the influence of a few beers the night before. He came to be fondly known as the "claw" as you will see that at time John or "Claw" is a little stressed at times. This was given away by the guttural noises and involuntary lifting of his right arm in the shape of a claw. Listen out for his wails particularly during the pass on the GT2.

 

This is a sub 8 min car in 480hp mode. And my 30th lap. But due to a few yellow flags and traffic the lap suffered..

 

And before any one says bad overtake. BAD! But justified and as the rule of thumb says anything coming up behind you in your mirror on the track that was not there before is faster than you. And you should let it over take. And it wasn't going to move as he'd been there the day before with the same attitude.

IF you go onwww.gtr.co.uk Goto r35 chit chat look for -LOST IT'S X-FACTOR And theres all the comments on there that i,ve wrote.. starting with with this.......

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Can i start by saying the new GTR is an awesome and very special car in everyway.. But it's lost that special X-factor..

After driving the new GTR i can honestly say it's completely different than the previous three generations/models..

I was left disappointed as to the on the limit handling of the new GTR. Anybody how has come to love the previous gtr for it's amazing ability to come alive in your hands when most cars fall off the scale may not find the new car to do this..

The thing i most loved with models previous was the car let you do the driving and the electronics did'nt involve themselves in a way to spoil this.

But not with the new GTR even with the traction control off the electronics hinder the ability for the car to be pushed or come alive.. .That X-factor has gone and .it's ability to be a drivers car gone with it .

I am sure the extra weight it's put on won't help either which when pushed is there to see..

I know you can't have it all in a car so if it is the case that the new GTR is heading for the bigger fatter GT market. Thus lots more electronics and sound proofing etc making it easier to drive for some people especially on long distances. Then fair enough but that speciel rawness has gone with it too.. In a nut shell the new GTR is a car for the play station generation.. Gutted!

i have the same worry about the new 370Z. i will be gutted if its heading the same way as the GTR. i always thought of the current 350Z as the GTR without the electronic wonders. a car with excellent steering, the best chassis i know of and a sexy body.

i hope the new 370Z doesn't end up following in the foot steps of the R35. because if it doesn't i think it has the chance of being the KING OF ALL GT's.

A very bold claim when you consider what other cars are claased as GTs.

 

Maybe the best GT under £40k or even 50k but best of all?????

 

your right stew. lets say in terms of value for money.

I think the 350Z fits that bill just now and I hope the 370Z continues in the same way.

 

Oh and I don't think anyone will argue that the Zed is great value for money.

But value for money was not the point.. It's value for money all day long and It's an amazing car .. But If you read the whole thread on the gtr.co.uk R35 chit chat Goto lost it's x factor.. Because that's what it's lost it's x factor to be a drivers car (RAW )instead it's a very fast audi TT...
