I'm a big fan of the Top Gear show. Why can't I get a job like that? LOL
Anyway, last night's show tested the GTR on the track. The Stig ran a 1:19.7 on their track placing it number 7 on their leader board. It is in some exotic company. That's amazing for a car that costs $70,000.
It's faster than the Porsche Carrera GT.
BTW: The Boxster S is 59th with a 1:28.7
