I will show this to my wife. I said lets use the money she got from her being ill to buy a GTR - one of the doctors has a white one. No she said and we bought a house.
Would have to be a f*cking big house to get that sort of reaction out of me

He let his son launch it in the video. You could tell his knuckles were white gripping that steering wheel.

For me it's the ultimate. I understand its not everyone's taste. But my god I would give my right nut for one.

I imagine it'll be a bit like going from average car to a scooby, after a time you'll wonder whether there maybe more to getting in a car than chucking away loads of cash getting to 60 mph in 1,2,3.

Yeah I have to say - "keep your foot on the brake until 4kRPM and then let go" isn't exactly my idea of a launch...

some of the GTR's (2009 - 2011) are almost the same price as the R34 GTR (1998 - 2002)

lol no it doesn't. Even a scooby is intelligent enough to disable the AC under full load.

Awesome cars, but would be scared to buy one out of warranty.

The consumables aren't cheap either. 2k plus for disks and pads all round!

Isn't the driver in the first clip Jeff Goldblum? When he was on Top Gear, I thought he wanted an Evo....

Perhaps his choice of words wasn't good enough.
To launch the GTR (I've done this in a mates 2012 model).
You enabled R mode, left foot on the brake, right foot - bury the accelerator.
Revs hold at 4K, and within a few seconds of putting the accelerator through the floor, release the brake and you go off like a scalded cat.
