best part reading the article is that the 480hp is under rated apparently… man i want to see what a few tweaks can do this sounds even cooler “The transmission is mounted at the back of the car and mated to the rear differential” i love it!!! ---

For a car that run’s mid-11’s stock, it’ll be scary to think how easy it would be to coerce it into the 10’s…and the standard this car will set for other street performance cars, not to mention supercars/exotics! This thing is gonna set the pace. Nuts. ---

i guess im preparing to be flamed here but this car is fucking ugly in my opinion… GTR from the groundup to look like the 350Z with some added toys… im not impressed… they could of done better, good to see they kept the signiture tial lights though. (BTW, some of the acura '06 have padel shifters… there nothing new, porshe has a keycard, mercedez has a card that only needs to be on ur person to start with push button, ferraris lock when ur more then 10ft away with the keys… im seeing nothing to “new” here) ---

In all fairness as far as I know Volkswagen was the first company to implement a dual-clutch sequential transmission in a street legal car. But the skylines shift-times are still approx. 150 milliseconds faster, and are only second to certain street-legal Ferraris. ---
