Nice vid that..
I initially thought it was going to be over a mile or something and was pretty shocked to see the GTR beat the 458 etc. But over a 1/4 mile the GTR takes some beating with it jumping out of the blocks so quick..

For noise, the 'Rarri sounded lush, as does the SLS.

If the 458 had a better start off the line, it might have had the GTR.

Still an awesome drag race.

The 4 cars after the GT-R were doing a higher speed so a half mile race would be a different story.
I'd be happy to own any of them cars though!!!

On a serious note, this is all good fun and a 30-130mph would be very interesting.

Some awesome sounding cars there.

The 2nd angle they showed almost seemed like the R8 got the jump on the GTR off the line. Shame they didnt keep the initial overhead angle. The 458 seemed to close the GTR until it came to changing gear and then dropped back a little.

Ok you can have the top gear test track as well

The audi looks like it does nudge the lead with it's launch. It would have been even better with an LP560 and the new mclaren in the line up too

I guess the owner of motor trend is a GTR driver. I mean how dare he miss out the Porka PDK that would have wiped the floor over all speed ranges.

The exotic cars would have pulled past the GTR if it was over any longer distance too.

Nevertheless, its impressive stuff no matter what way you look at it. GTR pushes above its weight no probs.
