It's this over priced GTR clone with a hybrid system that neither out performs on the track or improves MPG. You'll find them deeply discounted later next year at half price.

Ah, so the newer one should be even faster around those tracks.

I contend you won the bet, the difference I mentioned in the results didn't seem to justify all the tech or the price difference. C&C does report them nearly the same performance. I'm not debating the fraction of a second difference that it edged out the GTR. What will you say when the R36 spanks it with the same tech that Honda took 10 years to develop? Then you'll have an R35 that's as fast and a R36 that's faster.
