Thing is, you could have a SuperLeggera, Nissan GTR an F430 Spider for the same money as the SV (those 3 cars represent a nice well balanced stable for every driving eventuality in my book)

Not a lot in it. Providing you don't mind driving a glorified Micra, clearly you should buy a Nissan.

Saw a black GtR at Santa Pod today was running consistent 11.7 qtrs, duno if it was modded, difficult to tell with these cars, very quiet though, guessing standard exhaust.

The SV is super-quick to start with, agree... but for literally a fraction of the cost, you could mod the GT-R to make the SV look like its going backwards.

Considering we are looking at a video of a car that costs £275,000 compared to a car that costs £62,000 I think the GTR does an awesome job at keeping up with the Lambo when you factor in the cost difference.

Think my money would go on the GTR and pay for a stage 3 tune with forged head and pistons....then put the GTR up against the lambo and see what happens.....you will still have £175,000 change to play with.

However the Lambo does look very nice aesthetically so i guess that £175,000 is worth the skirts the Italian is wearing wink

They're not very reliable either!

At a local charity day last year, amongst Lambos, Ferraris (incl an F40), TVR's, Astons old and new, some other classics, all doing 8 mile round trips all day long - the only casualty was a red GTR....

Then a couple of months later, I saw the same GTR on the back of a recovery truck.......

But that's just one car. I've never heard of any problems with them.

I know - I wasn't suggesting that it was the cars in general - I was just partaking in the Datsun bashing!

The Datsuns on track have virtually nothing in common with the road car. High revving NA V8s and RWD isn't what Nissan will sell you...

Wow it fractionally beat the gtr in a straight line.

Would be more interesting to see lap times around circuits... Fun is not in a straight line.
