Inside Line has done what all of us have dreamed about at some point in our lives. They've contacted the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and had a 22-mile section of twisting mountain road closed off for the explicit purpose of running some of the hottest machinery in the world in the Mother of All Performance Tests.

What machines could be worthy of such a fantastical feat? Let's start with the Nissan GT-R and follow it up with the Audi R8, Mitsubishi Evolution X MR, Porsche 911, Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Lotus Elise SC. Josh Jacquot's engaging prose is coupled with some stellar photography to make this incredible story come to life. But no serious performance test would be complete without hard numbers, so the crew at Inside Line equipped each vehicle with a Racelogic VBOX to log everything from 0-60 sprints (both from a standing start and a one-mph rollout) to timed laps of both the mountain road assault and a run around the Streets of Willow Springs. Which machine reigns supreme? Click here to find out.

damn,cant to see the new gt-r on the road

damnit toyota hurry up and make a damn sports car already!!! at least 4wd the xrs' again!!!

My favorite quote evar!

As I expected, GT-R + Evo FTW.. I find it kinda odd that the STi came in last but oh well. I've always been a Evo man myself.

Talk about destroying the competition, the GT-R is one of those cars that demands respect from everyone

I wonder who drives the cars. I ask because there was an issue a while back with another article where the driver was actually a nissan veteran, thus kinda uhh whats the word, bias . I just can't wait to see the haters out there to dig up some information to counter this one.

IMO I am not a HUGE fan of the GTR, but I think the haters just need to keep it cool until it is out in the streets.

there's always gonna be haters no matter what. especially in sites like streetfire.net

if there was an asshole magnet, it'd be sites like streetfire.net lol

the gt-r is geh!!! i prefer my american muscle over japans crap anyday!! V8s pwn!!

did you forget that you're in a toyota forum?

sorry that was sarcasm.... XD

i drive an accord, i dont own any v8s... gas

oh hard to tell when i'm reading words on a screen sometimes lol

for the price people are buying those.. i can wait a few years after the sticker value goes down

i hope it doesn't get played out like the G35 did lol

I'm sure not too many people can afford a $80k car. It'll be like NSX status.

I don't think the GTR will appeal much to the upper middle class that only want a car for status. The GTR was built to perform and not luxury. LOL Besides, it's a Nissan.

yeah its gonna appeal tto us youngins more but hey guess what nissan, we cant afford it on our pizza delivery wages!! unless mommy and daddy pay for it...

It's for hardcore enthusiasts that have money. LOL Or young people that win the lotto.

Well at least it wouldn'g get as played out as the WRX or EVO

lol or a 7th gen rolla..... yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh booooooooooooooooooooooiii!!!!!!!!!

the infinity M45 is V8 plus luxury...

The new BMW 335i inline 6 twin turbo will own most anything. Except the GTR of course.

i hope they come out with a new bmw z series. im gettin the M series of the Z series...lol. thats gonna be my weekend car...

Anyone read the latest comparo in Car and Driver?

The GT-R came second to the M3
