    Lots of driving time, all of it slow.

    VirtualR.net had a great write-up and some screen shots of the car as well...

    Watching it snake around Nurburgring, that's absolutely scary. The only thing I don't like is that it takes more of the driver out of the equation (in my opinion)...although he'd have to have super cat-like reflexes to drive it consistently AND in traffic!

    Wow, it looks downright physics defying.

    GT5 looks amazing graphically, almost enough to consider buying a PS3!

    AMAZING.. wonder what kind of G's it was pulling? Driver would be the limiting factor if it was ever made real. Pull your head right off.

    I think I heard them say 6 Gs in the interview portion. Right it would take cat like reflexes, which I don't have!
