Gan-san drives his Carrera GT @ Suzuka...

damn. the sound of this car... is amazing. but you knew that already.

download link - 54mb

surprisingly he has quite a few negative comments about the car... front end feels heavy, dampers are too soft, etc...

I guess nothing can really please Gan-san.

Do you think if the NSX had a hundred or so more horses under the hood, it could easily take a CGT? I'm sure on a track it can come close now, being short 300hp and a few hundred thousand dollars.

I agree. That car is a right handful. I didn't drive it any harder than 7/10, but it made sure I had my focus level up. I can't imagine truly taking the car to its visceral limit. I'd have to go back to school a couple more times to get more acclimated to its personality.
