Jay Leno's Garage

As we all know, he's got some cool cars. Interesting website, here's a little bit on the GT-R
Jay Leno's Garage
He seemed to reluctantly accept it as a well designed Japanese sports car.

I'm a traditionalist and can't accept that Nissan offers it only with an auto tranny. I've driven several paddle shift / auto stick cars, and to my wife and I there's just no substitute for having three pedals on the floor and having the satisfaction of being part of the machine rather than flicking commands with our fingertips.

Awwww man! I'm at work; didn't listen to the sound... if it's only an auto, it's just not that sexy anymore...

And yes, bungy, I was talking about the car

The second guy's last name gave me a chuckle. The torment he must have faced as a child.

i think the idea of the detatched rear transaxle for weight distribution was phenominal.

Dumping the clutch is nice, but come on LAUNCH MODE. How dope is that.

The Z06 has a transaxel in the rear of it.
