Yea 2016 premium GTR dynos around 430-440 awhp and 400-410 awtq stock, it's nuts, but the build quality isn't that great, if I paying 100K+ it shouldn't have any rattles for a brand new car.

I get mixed feelings every time you post one of these videos. First I love the car and the sound is just incredible. The second is that I also drive in the area's you do both with and without my family which is definitely not Mexico. Hopefully nothing bad ever happens to you or anyone else on the road while you drive like that but no matter how skilled you are bad things are likely to happen when you push your car that hard.

I don't mean to be a downer and I'm still a fan but please be more careful. I do look forward to video's of you at the track where driving like this is better suited.

here is my question why not start closer to the car your chasing, so that you get a real good idea of how different or not the cars are performance wise. I won't give anyone that type of head start.

Thank you, I do try to be careful and try see far ahead, but like you said, sometimes you cannot prevent things, but I try to with the best of my abilities, you can see that with my other videos.

The car is currently up north with me and it won't be back down until mid October, so you won't have to worry about me.

Couple factors come into play, one if the other driver is willing, two if it It's one of those things during the day where traffic allows it, but maybe I should start filming during the nightly drives.

Don't want to be a downer - take it to the track where you can really exercise it. A few years ago on 80, 2 cars airing it out - a tractor trailer blows a tread - tread hits the car - lost control - hits minivan. Car driver and 3 of a family in the van are no longer with us. Think first. Bad things can happen anywhere at anytime. Be Safe.
