this is the best car on the planet,PERIOD,end of discussion
HULKMANEC u wrote this comment in the r35s prime time. Now their are soo many more cars with ultra advanced tech
This car still kicks ass for the price.
@@Buddlebot seriously
Great Review ! Its cars like the GT-R & WRX-STI's that allow the experience of top notch performance. Without having to sell your house to buy one..
I JUST GOT MY 2015 ...BLACK....YES..THE TRANSMISSION IS NOISE...
THE CAR IS ONLY GOT 50 MILES SO FAR..
I MUST DRIVE IT MORE..TO GET USED TO....
hey so is this an automatic or manual? sorry im 16 and just got into cars and this my dream car, i will have this car by when i'm 20
MrYnoter The GT-R does not come in manual, u only have automatic and/or semi-auto (paddle shifters).
If you wanna get a gt-r for sure get one with paddle shifters and be ready to drop more $$ into tunning it.
MrYnoter the car comes with an optional shifting paddles that he was talking about being attached at the steering column. Research about them to learn more of it. Considering most new cars are coming out with shifting paddles now and not stick shifts.
+MrYnoter It comes with an automated manual.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH BRAZZERS INTRO MUSIC HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAa
This color is beautifoul
I dont think it drives hard at all...its special in every whay!!!!!!
if it was a 100 000 id buy one in a heartbeat, they are 180 000 in australia. just crazy!!
Really? How much do the dealers make from that?
Buy a used one.
Michael Sullivan how much is a used one
Michael Sullivan how much is a used one
90 000 for 1st gen GTR, but prices are dropping fast!
I agree with most here, the car is obviously a car for performance and not daily use. However I have a 911 Turbo and it can be used as a daily drive. Turn off the PASM (sports suspension) and it drives like any other 911 Carrera.
If you wanted a daily driver in Nissan form, then you would choose the non Black edition I suppose.
Before I die I too will own one😎
hey Ross, that closing sentence is really nice. Sums it all up perfectly.
I love Japanese cars.
3:00 WTF was that? 😂😂😂 That's what happens when you don't know how launch a car.
Didn't the price of this car start around 60k when it 1st came out? Now over a 100k!?
This edition was never 60k. the skyline back in 2000 may have been closer to the 50s.
TheOhknows Didn't the 0-60 time start from 3.8 and now 2.7!?
ROCKETGUNS BOOMBS Launch Control was introduced.
zapface94 Actually is VDC-R mode. It improve to launch the car from 4500 to now 3000rpm to gain grip. Also improved 4-6000rpm throttle reaction.
more like 70k from the first models of this new generation but yea the price has increased considerably. you do get a slightly more refined ride with the newest ones and some extra hp but personally I think it's only worth 10 to 15 thousand dollars more, anymore then that is just Nissan raining in extra profits.
Wow, how have you made it this far in life? This is a perfectly good review of a fine machine. He is telling it in terms that car guys and non enthusiasts can both relate to, so I'd say he's doing his job pretty damn good. Go hug a tree.
man this car is fast rented one for two days lol
+edwin acob does the novelty wear out
I want to buy this car.
But what colour should I pick ?
The colour in the video looks nice..
That is the best color on a GTR
WOW! I LOVE the way that engine sounds! I just don't like how the wheels look on the Black Edition. I like the normal GTR wheel design a lot better.
Well presented, i like the true and honest comments you made about the GTR, how rough it can be to ride in and the agressiveness of the engine.
Keep it up!
Great review Ross! This GtR is the most awesome car in the world!
I own one. It's total beast. Every day I drive it, I feel like it's the best day of my life!!!
I'm an unlikely car person but I am interested in being educated.
I miss you Ross! Too bad this channel imploded and basically went out of business. I actually am looking to sell my Z in the next month or so and buy a lightly used GTR like this. You are so right, it is a dream to want to own one of these and once you do own one, you never will sell it unless it's for another GTR! Ross, If your out there somewhere, please start your own car review channel!!!!
Yo me and the club im in cruise skyline drive every year, hopefully next year i have godzilla
Dude,
It is Race car.
it is not Seekint - it is second!
it is not 'rowt' - it is route ('root')
it is not beeoogaarddy - it is bugaTTi
a dual clutch is NOT an automated manual - it is automatic!
This would be a bad ass car to pull up to work in while everyone else is driving their Lincolns, Honda's, Mitsubishi's, Fords, Acura's. I would be the envy of my job. Plus I'd have something to play around with. Just don't need the payments at this time.
If you need to drive a car like this just to impress those around you..then you not only need better friends..you need to work on your self esteem.
Michael Dorrier -Forgot to mention that I have a friend who owned this car. And he bought it for the same reason you want it..it's rare and to impress others. He said that although it was a blast to drive for the speed..he had to sell it when he started having back problems & pain from it. The ride is so rough with no real shock absorbers that any bumps or potholes in the road will go right through you. He traded it for a Lotus..and the same thing happened..no real shocks = back pain & discomfort. He traded the Lotus in for a 911..and he says it's the best sports car in the world..with all the speed & handling you could want..but with comfort too. Good luck.
No other car at this price point can beat it
0-100 under 3 seconds
legendary performance and badass factor
I liked this review.
Good job Ross. Sorry to see this show and channel are gone.
wait it is?
Me too ross! One day buddy one day:) Ill get the 370z nismo for now though.
There is absolutely no reason why a car in this price range should have such a horrible ride. If Porsche & BMW can produce super fast cars that don't make you throw up your dinner..then so should Nissan. Anyone can put a monster engine into a car..so Nissan really needs to fix this because most people won't put up with a terrible ride when other cars can go just as fast but without splitting your spine over the bumps in the road.
good review. considering I wouldn't be tracking it, I'd rather have a 911 for around the same money. 1 sec off the 0-60 isn't worth the ride, interior, refinement, etc compromises. I have a 6 sec 0-60 car and even with that I rarely get to take utilize it on public roads, I can't imagine a 3 second car.. it must be very frustrating
If you think the GTR is a rough ride you would be crying like a girl in my car.
i apologise if its modifies but Subarus aren't nearly as quick as a gtr
Cjaj88 he's not talking about power he's taking about the ride comfort
Thank you. lol. I would get spanked by even a stock GTR. But my suspension is stiffer than shit.
BendyTendy true but I'm one of the few people who would rather get an 2004 and 2012 hatch for the price of one gtr
LOL LOL the shelby gt500 is a tank lol shit and slow ,, the skyline has manual paddles and launch control and is built for corners and to get best track time ... and Audie RS6 estate has better handling than a shelby LOL
the 1st year 2009 had a m.s.r.p. of $65k but the average mark up about $15k, most dealers have a mark up but I did see a Nissan dealer in Antioch that with a 20014 white premium at m.s.r.p. $109k, When Ford brought out the GT 40 at a m.s.r.p. of $150 and some dealers had a mark up of $150, there was a guy who was going to pay $225k at the dealer I visited and they told him no and even at $250k several people had offers $200k, talk about rip off. Boy that is a lot of FFR kit cars!!! just as fun
I dont mind the stiff ride. I hate people who complain about cars with stiff rides and how they handle in the city. maybe I feel this way because I drive an evo haha :)
Interesting that you say people are wrong for saying it's soulless and drives itself. It may be a visceral raw brutal experience, but that doesn't mean it's a great drivers car. And, I really think Nissan should consider making a baby GT-R for under $50k since this one now costs over $100k when it was $67k at launch. You know, something smaller, lighter, and far less complex with around 350hp. Place it between the 370Z and current GT-R. They also need a baby Z or new Sylvia.
go do your research, the numbers don't lie. track times in the Nur. believe me, i'm a GTR fanboy. but the corvette is faster. Honestly, I think it's stupid that everyone compares the heavy 4 seater GTR to a lightweight 2 seat Vette, but whatever, everyone does it anyway.
btw they don't have the same hp... zr1 has 638
But Chevy couldn't make a 4 seater as great as the GTR if they had a 10 year start.
Every1's an expert This guy hasent got a clue.. I own 1 of these(850+) & my wife & i drive it around London & its comfortable obviously he hasent bothered to look for the comfort setting & just put everything In RACE mode. amature! & the black edition over here simply means that the car comes with sat nav black roof linning & those horrid red border seats maybe america get's a different option
Thanks for replying, it is a amazing machine yes indeedy. Im on the look out for a used one at around half that, 100k to rich for my blood right now. I presume you bought this new model from a Nissan dealership, what sort of payment plan are they doing on the entry level spec?
Intially the only thing i did not like about this car was the front head lamps style and the rear slumped bumper, but it has slowly grown on me.
dude im from uk the skyline is built for it ....the shelby wud kill me on uk roads ... plus the old one from night rider looks way more better
HAHAHAHA try £3500 per month for fully comp insurance. And don't think of going for third party, fire and theft. Because nobody will insure you.
pedals that go with the steering wheel are best. Means you take your hands away from the wheel less. Which means more controland shifting in turns
Brand new models like 2014 Black Edition one's go about $107k, while some older versions like some 2008/09 models go as low as $85k, which is crazy seeing that this car rolls with others like Lambo, Ferraris, and Porches which cost a lot lot more.
i am sorry but this car is extremely ugly. i don't care that it is cheap and fast. but really would rather to have a ferrari or this? would you rather to have a porsche or this. this car has no class like Ferraris and porsches do.
he is comparing them to the panamera and a big bmw. The GT-R is in between a raw exotic and a limousing sports car hybrid, so it depends on what you are looking for.
However the gtr is a great performer with nice seats and a reasonable price.
I have been in the 35GT-R a few times now (Not the Black in this vid) and I have to disagree about the ride comfort, in race mode, yes, as expected its tight but in normal soft-core porn mode it gives feedback, without being bone jarring.
I had one back in 2009 and it cost me 5k over sticker, so I paid 93k, ins was kinda expensive too, but I had one of the first gtr's in CT so that made me happy, after 6mo I was super bored of the car so I sold it for something with a clutch... But now I might get one again just for my daily driver all year round car...
Sorry Ross, but the current 911 Turbo S (model number 997) does the 0-60 in 3.3 seconds.
I think you say the "current" thinking in 991, but there is no Turbo S version yet.
Congratulations for your 2nd wedding anniversary!
it would be my everyday driver if I had the kind of $ to buy....I would be looking very hard at a pre-owned one without a doubt! Other than a Carrera 4S it is one of my favorite "inconspicuous" exotics i am a believer!!!!
you are wrong, and why dont u go out and by a 2.2.m agera? Because they are expensive...People buy the gtr because it is awesome, its not luxury but its not uncomfortable either, have you ever been in one?
more Hp and refined out the butt and still cant beat an 06 Z06 at the ring or trap speed thru the 1/4,, so if thats a monster, the Z not to mention the ZR1 is a BEAST, the numbers say so ( Nurburgring )
So it is fast , got that... But it rides like shit , makes to much noise, trans is ruff and scary without stability control on... And you like it lol ...... Kinda wierd review...
Do more GT-R reviews . Thanks man..
Roadfly I would love this reviewer to drive a Mercedes Benz AMG E63-S and give us a review
Or maybe a comparison
Couldn't Nissan be more obvious about making a "Black Edition", which sounds almost the same as "Black Series" that Mercedes-Benz has been making for a few years now?
I didn't take it as complaining. Seems he was just illustrating how loud it is to those who havent or won't get a chance to be in that car. I personally like loud :)
Good review. Pretty fair to the GT-R. In comfort mode it's not too bad as a daily driver. Worse thing is crawling around in traffic with a car made to go fast.
Lots of federal offenses there Ross! 35mph speed limit on Skyline Drive. I did it too after flying from Oklahoma to Pick up my 06 330ci ZHP. Great drive though :)
No, black edition has exactly the same ride.The differences are cosmetic.Just as user friendly as a 911 turbo.A little more stiff thats all.
the GT-R is definitely an awesome car....but it's also huge and not the prettiest car i've ever seen by any means. would i take a lesser performing car that is much less expensive? absolutely.
My dream car is the 2013 gtr track edition blue on blue highlighted interior. Retails for 114,000. One day!
+1000000 2.8G ur talking about your phone right :D lol not even an Atom or a Xbow or Even a radical is doing 2.8G what are those clowns???
@mrnewyork1975 that may be true however the gtr costs like £60000 and the f1 costs well over a million
Great review Ross! God bless ya for being honest and a true car guy! U know your shit n u deserved this
Previous iterations of the car have never been called a Skyline. Its predecessor was the Skyline....
you should just review every car just like this one. this is probably the best review of this car. do your own show and buy some
He said,except for a couple of cars that start w/ Z..Whatever..ZR1's best 0-60 ,is 3.1...But, that's best gas/clutch ratio...Impossible, to do that EVERYTIME !!! Z06, is 3.7...Maybe 3.4 Best...Again, best gas/clutch ratio, and IMPOSSIBLE to do EVERYTIME..I guess the ZR1's best 1/4 time, and speed is better than the GT-R though..Still. Need at least VERY CLOSE to, or, PERFECT gas/clutch ratio, to do this, and beat the GT-R, EVERYTIME...Gets SILLY, IF ya wanna beat the GT-R EVERYTIME. "IF" :):):)
LOL I don't need to search it I've driven every car you've mentioned including R32's and R34's and the Shelby is by far the fastest stock even with the Skyline's AWD. What's funny is you and the other idiot above me are complaining bcuz I said the Shelby is faster which it is, but then you start yapping about how the engineering and cornering speed is superior to the Shelby which it is,I never denied that I just simply stated the Shelby is faster stock way faster,go drive em and get back 2 me...
Gt500 is faster stock way faster, I've driven both I would know. Anyone can drive a GTR I've seen athletes, foreign exchange students, females, drive the gtr etc, my 10yrd old brother could drive it if I put a yellow page book on the seat for him to sit on, so it may be awd and have launch control woopdy doo but anyone can drive it and put down awesome numbers so I'm not impressed,you lost all credibility when you mentioned a german car...goodbye
Let me explian y the gtr is so cheap compared to a aventador Veyron or keoniggseg it's the material especially the interior witch is mainly plastic while the other three cars have full leather alcantara. Swade brushed aluminum black vendier shall I go on basically the gtr is ratarded fast but has no luxury the Lamborghini Veyron and keionigssegg are retarded fast with the highest quality of luxury explanation complete that's y I'd by the $2.2 mil agera r over the 90k gtr
@turbo311 the baby gtr is the 370z. The Nismo 370z is "smaller, lighter, and far less complex with exactly 350hp". If Nissan was to produce another car like that, then their market for that car and the 370z would be battling each other. If you need four seats like the GTR offers with 300+hp then take the G37. If you want a simple car and can do without the seats then the 370z. 370z may not be perfect but it rides like the GTR and corners just as well or better.
i agree with everything you said EXCEPT the ride statement. I have ridden in both a 2012 and 2013 model Nissan GTR black edition and it is a MUCH better (comfort) ride than both any corvette or gt500. For a car the performance, I do not see why you put so much thought into the ride, because all things considered it is 100% NOT AS BAD as you made it sound! Coming from someone who has drivien and ridden in numerous GTR's.
Lol. How about reliability, resale value, interior refinement, inimitable iconic aura, exhaust sound and, above all, fun at the wheel? Because we all agree, the Nissan will beat nearly any car on a straight lane but that's the antithesis of driving. Don't get me wrong, I really dig the GT-R and respect the talent displayed by its engineers, but no autobox will ever replace the ritual of upshifting and downshifting plus heel & toe by myself. If I want GT-R brute bang there's Six Flags.
Ted that's absolute and complete utter nonsense. I suggest you come to England where we have proper curvy roads. I also suggest that you learn more about the design philosophy of the GT-R and why they didn't make the car lighter, I'll give you a clue it's to do with grip and putting power down onto the road. The GT-R is designed to go around corners fast. You're Porsche is a good car but a GT-R beater, not a chance.
Your main point is that your 991 Carrera S, will beat a GT-R on any twisted dry road because it's lighter. Simple fact is that it won't, the Nissan has a better power to weight ratio, so making statements about your 350kg weight difference is pointless. I used to own a Sunbeam Lotus with 195BHP, that weighed 960KG, would that beat your Porsche by your same argument and unlike your Porsche it didn't have ABS, traction and stability control, so a real driver's car then, wouldn't you say?
The Nürburgring_Nordschleife has plenty of twists and turns and I think we know which car would be dominant around that between the GT-R and your Porsche. Also your Porsche is lighter and has 279BHP/Ton, the Nissan 2008 GT-R with 480BHP had 272 BHP/Ton but the one featured in this article has 540BHP which is approximately 12% more, giving the GT-R over 300BHP/Ton, I think the official figure of the 540BHP car is 312BHP/Ton. 5th Gear did a test between the Nissan GT-R and the Porsche Turbo S.
It's stupid to try and put down this awesome machine but you have to be realistic, this isn't a real drivers car: it's missing the sound and the manual transmission. It's more about rollercoaster extreme sensations on straight roads, very exciting but tiresome one hour later. Plus I guarantee you that my 991 Carrera S with PDCC and sports suspension will beat Godzilla on any twisted dry road as it's 350 kilograms lighter. The 991 Turbo S will simply annihilate it. I love those black rims btw.
The VK56DE is Nismo's race engine.
Look at the GT-R GT500 (that's the SuperGT version of the R35, /watch?v=JQJ4KwmORSQ), or the GT-R GT1 (the FIA GT1 racing version of the R35, /watch?v=s_wr4SFrvZo).
It's the same engine Nissan is going to use in V8Supercar. I just wish they'd make a road legal version of it and slot it into either the 370Z or the GT-R (and give the GT-R a lower silhouette like the SuperGT car).
Granted, straight pipes can make it sound "good".
But not as good as previously mentioned Nismo VK56DE (a Naturally Aspirated racing V8).
The VK38DETT has the issue of being twin-turbocharged which however you slice it will be bad for the sound. A naturally aspirated 5.5 l DOHC racing V8 engine (not one of those rough Pushrod V8s) will always sound at least great if not fantastic.
And yet I think the VK38DETT is the wrong engine for this car.
It's too quiet and too anonymous. The VK56DE would be a much better engine (that's the Nismo V8 being used in the racing versions of the GT-R).
Really what this car needs is a special track-day version which would have stuff like a stick-shift sequential gearbox, rear-wheel-drive and previously mentioned stonking 5.5l V8. Perhaps an aero-kit and a rollcage.
Nissan is known for releasing there nurburgring videos very late after people have doubted them. And I don't know why motherfuckers have to compare a GTR to full blown race/track versions of vette. It's a GTR not a GTR V-Spec or M-Spec Nur. Compare a base model to a base model that's more equally understandable. But if I had 100k pounds I would buy a 2009 model GTR with Lichfield 650hp upgrade with total cost at 41k pounds and I would go pick up a z06 for probably 39k pounds in UK.
Awesome piece of engineering no doubt. Do I want one if I could afford it? Most likely no. It is too plain. Not enough curves. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and this car falls short of beauty.
Lastly, Corvette C7 ZR1 in particular must beat this car in few categories to reclaim the crown of champion of which most important is 0 to 60mph time. If not, then GTR is most bang for your buck!
With any car you have to take the drivers ability into account as well.Your 1,01G on a skidpad is not that much. I regularly go over that at Nurburgring and other tracks here in the UK with pro drivers being able to pull much higher figures. As for the Nurburgring times they are well documented and open to public scrutiny. As for lack of video evidence I think you will find there is plenty of video footage of the lap out there, its been well documented.
It did 1.01 G's on a skidpad on Car and Drivers test. To put that into perspective, the Camaro ZL1 did it at 1.03 G, and the 2013 GTR got beat by the 2012 Z06 on Inside Line's track test at Willow too. It's not the world beater people are making it out to be.
People bring up the Nurburgring time. That is suspect to me. On Laguna Seca, it only improved over the 2012 by like 5 one thousandths of a second lap time, but goes to the Nurburgring and sets that time? And no video proof of it? Fishy.
I said nothing about faster (though a ZR1 also has a higher top speed than the GTR). A stock ZR1 will handle as good as a GTR, and with the (basically race spec) Michelin tires, WILL out handle a GTR. Plain and simple fact. And also, a GTR is around $80,000+ base price, and a ZR1 base is just over $100,000. And lastly, what are you talking about? The ZR1 has 638hp and the GTR has 545...
lambo aventador is hot and damn fast but ill still take the gtr cause its affordable to fix and alot of problems with the lambo , Dan has one and its more in the shop then on the streets, to hard to back up in places, dont get me wrong the lambo is hot on the streets and it will get more chicks but im here for only speed and saves me $400,000 , lambo cost $499,000 in the states and GTR is only $105,000.
Love the performance, awesome-DO NOT like the look. To boxy and as if someone had a maxima and wanted to try and make it look sporty with the tail fin. Im confused why Nissan hasn't refined this into a more aerodynamic look to match its unbelievable performance. Such genius on performance, but the boxy lack of aerodynamics kills it for me. Too damn bad, its such a beast. just my 2 cents---peace
Dont get me wrong, I TOTALLY get you!! I feel the same way, but cars aren't ALL "toys".. :p When im someday in my mid 40's, got the avg. 2.2 kids and wife, and plan a roadtrip to italy. (+1000 miles.) Then I don't really care about the handling, as long as its reasonable in emergencys. I care about how long I feel like been in the car. Should that be a Nissan GT-R.. Then it would be hell, since i'd want to plant the foot down every second... It's like a beachwalk, contrary to an ironman. :p
They are dual clutches but there is no clutch pedal, so while you in 1st 2nd gear is ready for you, everything is the same appart from clutch so its not manual so to speak which I like and same as ferrari and porshe they moved into 21st century also ferrari doesnt build manuals any more its a option only but I think not available on all models so you couls call these boxes a new manual of 21st century since they wont upshift or downshift on its own you have to change gears yourself
Clapping noises? And its noisy? Have you ever driven a car? Even in sport mode? (Not what u meant) What the hell? I normally don't comment on these, because of the people on here (especially on a car video) but...A GTR Black Edition is not for everyday driving! You know this! 0-60 in 2.7 seconds! Yeah...let's take the family out. Here's a 90 yr old grandfather..he should love it! Who the hell is reviewing this? Did you not know what car it was?Were you comparing it to a Toyota Camry?
Yes you can mod but thats beside the point, stock car perfomance is what counts once you modify the car it is only to your satisfaction. I own a Ford turbocharged inline6 (Falcon XR6 Turbo its Australia only model) stock it can run 12.5 1/4 and if you modify it for less than 10 grand you can run high 10's(friend of mine got one moded to 427rwkw or 576bhp) but still in the hills or when it get twisty it wont run as fast as GTR
Yes but lets use a 2013 GT500 for example.
You can easily set the boost higher. Work on suspension and get a better set of tires be running low 10's with a street legal car and still save 20-30 G's.
One of my friends has an Evo 9 I believe making 965 AWHP with only 25k in mods and paid 20k for it.
If you're just power hungry I honestly don't see a point in the GT-R or people bragging about it being a bargain either.
I'm a valet, and I agree that the interior is terrible!
This is what I'm thinking. If you are purchasing a car just to go that fast, 90k is STILL not a good deal. Twin turbo any car you like (Mustang Camaro, Corvette (base), Shelby GT500 etc.) It'd be faster than this car. MUCH faster.
It's fast yes, looks good, well outside it does interior needs some work.
GT-R is in the same boat a Lamborghini is IMO, you buy one for show off purposes solely.
I'm an old guy at 56. I got the GTR 2009 model when it first came out. Not as fast as the 2013 but still pretty quick. Admittedly, it's not my daily driver but it certainly could be, so on that account I disagree with your assessment. Every time I get in this car, it delights me in every respect. Even being a four year old car, I really can't think of a newer production car that I'd trade it in for. Maybe a ZL1 or Porsche turbo S. But AMS or Cobb could give more speed for less money.
I highly doubt that rumor is true, i heard a rumor that r35 used street tires on wet conditions while they tested the car around the track. as opposed to the vette and acr. But see thats just a rumor and i dont care for it if it isnt fact. As a car enthusiast i just appreciate all cars worthy of its title. ACR and Vette are impressive, but you cant say those cars are better cause of their laptimes and transmission. Thats fanboy talk. Its like saying vr38 is better cause it keeps up with acr v10.
LMAO thats a genuine fanboy comment. R35 produces less power and still beats youre silly shelby gt500. Whats the point of having all that power, if it isnt utilized correctly ? Not hating on the gt500, but you cant say one car is better than the other without adding "in my opinion", youre making it sound like its a fact that a shelby is better than a gtr r35. Go watch motor trend, r35 2013 vs 2013 mustang gt500, it got analed. And IMO r35 looks better. But gt500 still looks alright =p
Roughest ride on the road? In Sport mode? Isn't that what sport mode is about? OR was that just a mistake in the script?
Also, i like this review for its factual representation of information but on an entertainment standpoint: it just doesn't have the WOW factor of professionally made material. Mr. Rappoport, i know its not easy being in front of a camera (i know i would suck at it if ever given the chance) But please try to act a bit more natural. Best regards, K!
