Wow, if you watch it frame by frame you can see a GT-R pass it... several times!

I of course turned up my PC's volume all the way

I love the sound of superchargers on hi-performance V6's and V8's. My 04 GP GTP used to have a wild shriek at WOT, with just a pulley and K&N. Same with Ford Lightnings I've heard on the street. Very nice

Yeah I know. It's too bad the GT-R will be so much faster for so much less money.

I'm looking forward to seeing the final, *official* specs for the car!!! I KNOW it's "well over" 600 HP!!! And in another thread, I just noticed where the weight is discussed, and the mag's are reporting ~3400 lbs?? Almost seems high, considering the car is supposed to be getting the carbon-fibre treatment, etc.?

Again, I like REAL, OFFICIAL data .

Yah, the weight did seem high to me at first too, but when you figure in the weight of the supercharger, cooler, etc. it adds up pretty quick.
