We're in a 2009 Nissan GT-R, helmet on, seatbelt fastened, left foot poised to release the brake and unleash Godzilla's wrath. But we're not on a racetrack. In front of us there are 22 miles and 402 turns of the best driving road in the world, Southern California's Glendora Mountain Road. We've covered this ground thousands of times, but today it's different. Today there are two California Highway Patrol cruisers stationed at either end of this twisting strip of sun-drenched blacktop. It is our personal playground for the afternoon.
The radio crackles the "All clear" and with the GT-R's engine revved to a launch-controlled 4,500 rpm, we release the brake and let the big Nissan do what it does best: twist physics into knots.
This process is repeated all afternoon in a collection of today's quickest and most capable road cars. The list includes a 2008 Audi R8, 2008 Lotus Elise SC, 2008 Porsche 911, 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR and 2008 Subaru WRX STI. We didn't discriminate: Rally cars, focused rear-drive performance cars and everything in between was invited to the party. In fact, there's only one genre missing from this otherwise comprehensive list — the big-power, rear-drive supercar. But it wasn't for a lack of trying.
Fact is, we asked Chevy for a 2008 Corvette Z06 and we asked Dodge for a 2008 Viper SRT10, but both refused to loan us their cars — presumably because we'd be testing their best metal against the almighty GT-R.
Sniff, sniff. Does somebody smell chicken?

Since this comparison is obviously done void all pricing, shouldn't the Porsche been a 911 Turbo?

I think the Gallardo Lp560-4 is the next big thing. I mean it's fast as hell 11.2 1/4mile 3.3 0-60. It looks sexy as hell, and it handles and brakes amazing also. Sure it's 200k but it's one sick car.

The R8 with the V10 for 2010 will re-write this competition, but for the money, the Evo is simply the best at less than half the cost of the two comp. winners. The STi is just pure crap.
This comparison was ... ( 3 days ago by diemetzger)
This comparison was poor, clearly if youre going to test the best against each other then where is the Porsche GT2? They used the slowest 911... WTF. Look at Edmunds comparison against the Corvette ZR-1 and the GT-R, the GT-R was slower in every test. The GT-R is a monster but it's not the best.

Definitely agree thats bogus to put a gtr against a normal 911

Oh and mitsubishi.
I mean, "knee san"??? I really dont want to watch anymore of this series just so i dont have to hear this toss pot talk.
Maybe someone ... ( 1 day ago by wave54)
Maybe someone should punch you in the head. Enter "Japanese Nissan commercial" in the YouTube search box and watch a few videos with Japanese narration, and their pronounciation is virtually the same as Inside Line (US produced). The British pronounciation as heard on Top Gear, etc. is incorrect, you toss pot.

The VR38 still proves to be one of the best on the market even better then the RB26 Famed Engine.

Is this where all you GTR lovers hide when you cant except the truth. I wont mention any other cars but you know what I am thinking. The Nissan GTR is so awsome, but the makers of this video should have brought out the rest of the guns. Not that slow ass porche. I cant beleive the lotus did so poorly, and the subaru belongs on a ralley track not road.Duh!
