Only 107 mph ? I might have, possibly, got one going quicker on the street somewhere. Maybe. If that were possible. Perhaps. In a hypothetical world.

One of my favorite features of the GT-R are the detailed graphics and features of the onboard display. Simply awesome.

Is the display labelled "clock: 4:00" the only form of telling time? lol

Just add night vision and it can replace Jackie Chan’s Subaru in Cannonball run…

"ridiculously detailed on-board computer"

How can you have too much info? All nav screens should a page like that.

Thumbs up Nissan!!

Definitely a very cool feature. I'm surprised at the relatively low "redline" for the oil temp though - only 260?? I'm sure this car requires synthetic oil, which should be able to handle much higher than 260. I see 300F in my '02 Z06 on the track in hot weather after 30 minutes of lapping sometimes, and its OK. I think NASCAR uses about 315F as a redline for their oil temps on full synthetic. And that's more to protect the engine seals and bearings at that temp - the oil is still good for even hotter.
