Wow that is FAST. I wonder how much horsepower it really has. I heard somewhere that the GTR has more than the stated 483 horsepower.

That car is amazing!! Faster than so many cars.... even the Carrera GT and SLR. The Stig has some sick skills on the track. Anybody ever see his face before? I know I haven't. Kind of like Master Chief.
