Default STILLEN GT-R vs. Helicopter

While down at the Targa New Zealand Rally (more info here) Steve Millen got himself in a drag race with a helicopter..



VIDEO HERE: Targa NZ Day 2 Play of the Afternoon on Vimeo

And another angle of the video here: Contour | Stories | Targa NZ 2011- Nissan GTR vs Helicopter

Jalopnik.com also picked up the story for discussion on their home page currently.

If only the GT-R wasn't flashed with a speed limiter..

We'll have lots of photos and video of the rally once the guys make it back, but you can follow along with the recaps on the STILLEN blog: STILLEN

The second video is cool with the hybrid view and speed. That GTR sounds downright evil! Sweet!

Thanks! Targa Rally's are nuts! No pace notes, just general instructions, no pre-driving the course.. Just a blind run, sometimes for 20 miles or more!

Here's in-car from Targa Newfoundland, in the rain, on roads just a touch wider than the GT-R.. Steve Millen can friggin drive!

Another one from Newfoundland that shows you the neighborhoods they race in. They actually have to go around and talk to every person in these neighborhoods. In New Zealand they did new stages this year, took them 5 months.. LOL

Wow! What a ride, it could have ended a lot worse than it did. Good to see they got out without injury.
