    The world nervously awaits Stud Beefpile's reporting of the anticipated communique from the Porschebunker. Where will the madness end? #nissangtr

    "... for an R35..." Never mind then.

    Bit of a misleading title...

    I think we've finally found the ultimate mod combo for the GT-R: 191mph and 15 frame-per-second video. She's a beauty! #nissangtr

    Another inexorable step in the evolutionary crawl of Jalopnik out of the La Brea Tar Pits of Blogdom, into the light of the new wave of automotive journalism. Bravo Didorosi.

    For the record, that's my green Audi S5 in the pictures. I played camera car and chase car while the GT-R's owner drove in the dry and light rain. In a straight line, the S5 simply had nothing for the Nissan. Once it snowed, I shared some driving chores on-track with the Jalops.


    Those of you with exceptionally fast pause-fingers might see my top-air-intake Impact! helmet in a few of the shots :)


    Great article guys!

    When you consider the price, and the performance potential with this upgrade, I think you have pretty close to track day perfection. I personally am a bit more minimalist in my track preferences, but I certainly could see this instead of a similar Porsche for many people. Yeah, I know, heresy. But there it is.

    Hey there Andrew, great review - though I wish you told it from your perspective rather than forcing "us" into the story (as the ubiquitous "you")


    Great photos as well.


    Having spent some time in the stock GT-R, I can only imagine how crazy this car is... It must have been a blast.

    @aSoundofSleep has a bat flying around his office today.: You ever see video of the space shuttle landing or NASA X-plane test flight? They always have a chase plane to put an extra set of eyes in the air to make sure everything is going alright.


    It's probably something like that.

    Andrew - Has Jalop paid to send you to Skip Barber or anything? Your hand placement on the wheel at about 11:00 and 1:00 could use some help. :)
