i got to drive it alone for about 20min.... though some corners and 140+mph pulls....
i got the feel of the car.. and drove it hard.... like i said.. even slid it around.... the car is easy to make go fast..... as most awd cars are.... i felt connected to the road... and didnt feel as if the car was driving itself.. for a awd car.. as its in rwd mode most... if your familiar with Nissans awd system.... its not exactly All Wheel Drive-its-self like a Evo or STi...

Much of the point of AWD is indeed to make the car more dummy proof and easier to drive. The Evo and GT-R share a similarly advanced AWD system. Sure the GT-R is a bit more sophisticated but the Evo is a darn sophisticated system itself. To call them totally in a different league is simply incorrect. The cars yes, their respective AWD systems, no.

r u kidding..... the Evo 8 and 9 systems are FWD systems........ then add to the rear.. with very Limited change.... they are junk.... as the GTR systems in the past can easily go full RWD and do during normal driving... as the R35 is 98 rear 2% front..... an STi awd system is way more closer to a GTR then a Evo in driving FEEL and MECHANICS because of its rear wheel biased setup and driver controllable configurations... not this "sno" (mostly fwd) "graval" (kinda fwd)..... and "tarmac" (ok here u go rear) crap...... and comparing a R34 system of 2000 and a EVO system from the year 2000.... they are in totally dif leagues.... as well as the new systems in their cars of today |

and i disagree on this too.. the point of a AWD system is to get results down on paper... ultimately RWD is best... but on street tires on the street.... AWD is a little superior in everyday activity's.... or if your like Mitsu or Subaru to go race the WRC... |

Why don't road race cars use AWD? Power to the front wheels would reduce the amount of their ultimate grip level that can be applied to create the maximum cornering load. This is one big part. The other is that at most track speeds, on straights, most RWD cars simply don't have enough power to spin the wheels at will. Of course weight and complexity and drive train losses play a role as well. IMHO RWD > AWD in most circumstances that matter. |

rite......... RWD works better for road race cars for sure.....
but like i said.. Street cars...... a good AWD system is very helpful... as you can tell by many top level street cars running it.... GTR.. Veyron... 997 TT.... Lambo Murci and Galardo..... audi R8..... Alot of the best car companies chose the AWD system.... im more of a RWD guy myself.. but to get numbers down on paper.. AWD is best.... RWD is much more of a drivers setup...... |

I'm not dissing the GT-R. I give it a lot of credit and would have no problems taking a GT-R (well maybe one) but I won't get one because they're probably all spoken for this year, probably next, and I will not pay the "market adjustment" that the dealers want. I do agree that the GT-R has performance up there with the best of 'em, and would beat the M3 on the straights or curves.
