Singapore has very strict speed limits, maximum of 90kmh. That's why many of us go to Malaysia to test the performance of our cars. Their highway speed limit is 110kmh, but the fines can be, ahem, negotiated. GT-R is not officially sold here yet, this is a parallel import from Japan. FYI, it costs over USD210,000 here. :) Hey guys, I’m from Singapore, and heard about this from local car forums.

From the reviews I've read, the GT-R practically drives itself. Nissan practially yelled the fact that the GT-R was brought to America because of the great "video game interest" (take that as you will). With this in mind, I conclude that Nissan developed the GT-R to be as "safe" of a superfastmegacar as possible (yes, oxymoron.. continuing). The proof? Read above. What worries me is that people out there might actually THINK that their super-expensive sports cars can take a 90-degree turn going 120mph, and that bumping into a building will only give your car scratches, and that jumping over half-drawn bridges & 200mph without completely destroying your car on impact is possible. And I'm only 22.. sometimes I dread witnessing what idiots have to offer public roads 30 years from now... I have a theory..

But then again, I watch tooo much sci fi. BTW, I saw on tv today that they can now put a rat into a virtual stasis and believe it will work on humans. Next stop, Mars.
