On the Top Gear track, the Veyron was only 1.4 seconds faster over the 1¾ miles course. On the Ring, the Veyron was 11 seconds slower than the GTR.

What does it all mean? Nothing.
Well, it did put the GTR in one hell of a class.

180mph and a small suspension spring from the rear of another car hit his helmet. Very sad, Massa has a great spirit, not that you would want that to happen to any one, but not Masas

His prognosis is good, but i doubt he will race again at the F1 level, so sad

Whats worse is there has been talk of bringing Schumacher back NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Again anyone wanting to buy or know someone wanting to buy stay far away from Premier Nissan.
I knew the service dept sucked, but I know a couple of guys in the internet sales dept that are good guys. I also know that the GM is no longer there, not sure if that makes a difference.

Schumacher may find that F1 isn't as fun as he remembers it.

Here's a thought... Since Renault is suspended for the next race Alonso drives for Ferrari...


I think Massa will be back though.

haha my dad hates that place with a passion. He bought his Maxima from there back in 04 and we have always had horrible service from them. When i was looking for the Z we walked in the showroom and the lot, not one person asked if we needed any help.
