The way that bentley shot outta the hole, I thought the GTR was toast with the 100+ hp, but I guess the weigh has a bigger impact than I thought. Anyhow, good to see Nissan hold it down!

Even though it was really impressive for the Bentley, if you put enough power behind it, it will be impressive in a straight line.
It wouldn't be as interesting if they did it on a road course.

nice find!!
And to the above comment, while it would be interesting to see how they would do on a track I doubt the Bentley would put up a better challenge then it did on the drag strip. Again weight would come into play, the GTR would win.

bentleys have always been that way. ettore bugatti called the bentley blowers "the worlds fastest trucks" (i guess he was mad that bentley beat him at le man several years in a row)
