The GT-R , despite being Fat , bends the rules of a typical light weight well balanced sports car. Its a Playstation on wheels , driver input isn't needed as much as the driver behind the likes of a traditional sports car like the RX-7. Were the driver must deliver his A-game all the time .

None the less the GT-R is still a phenominal car for the money. Can't wait till the V-Spec is built, lighter ,faster and even more of a handler.

it changes all the time

i believe thats Amemiya's personal car,

theres so much money dumped into that car, i do not believe it was a fair race

that rx-7 is pretty much a race car that somehow is able to drive on the street

All the touge showdowns can be seen through Hot Version, the driver of the RE Amemyia is Keiichi Tsuchiya who is the Drift king in Japan...this battle is touge special MAX Class. The GTR is tuned by MCR and Shinichi Kobayashi a famous Nissan tuner. The MAX class is battled out between the top tuners for the title of Touge Monster... Tsuchiya is the main driver that test all the cars in the series and rates them for the tuners... and the other drivers are the best drivers from the JGTC series...Thats one of Amemyia's shop cars, I think there are about 3 of them that are tuned that wildly, that one, one with a electron blue scheme, and one with the classic yellow...

Not really a fan of the GT-R's looks, though it's FAST and has one of the most complex (a.k.a. best) on-board computers on it.

Good video, although if they cut out the 5 minutes of guys having conversations in japanese it would be better

that has got to be some of the most dangerous racing I have ever seen. High speeds, treacherous terrain, incline, cars very close to each other...

Why does the RX7 have a windshield wiper in the middle of the windshield.

The 7's driver is getting direct feedback from the wheels to the steering. It seems like there's hardly any tactile feedback to the steering wheel from the GTR.
