    How did the GT-R do??
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    So basically the plastic car was beaten by a fat Merc...

    The GTR was so fast that none of the other testers every noticed it..................








































    either that or fat GTR couldn't fit through the front gate.

    Top speeds are boring.

    And the fat Merc is limited to 250 in real life anyway. Who cares.

    Why is the Mercedes a prototype instead of a production car?

    Delimited, and probably mechanical components to withstand such high speeds (the production car is limited to 250km/h, or there's an option to 300km/h).

    ...who cheated by being faster.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    The GTR slowed down after it hit 150 mph and did not place. Any quicker and its ECU was threatening to void the warranty.
