STILLEN GT-R Does the Targa Newfoundland Rally

Most of the time, the soundtrack of in-car rally footage is either just the sound of the engine—which is great—or the kind of crappy Euro-techno that makes me want to pierce my eardrums with an ice pick. But in this clip from the Targa Newfoundland Rally you can hear the co-driver’s directions along with the report of the STILLEN GT-R’s motor, which I think is completely awesome. I mean, I know it’s par for the course in rallying, but it still blows my mind to think that drivers are pushing this hard without knowing exactly where they’re going.  And how cool is it to see this bad-ass machine ripping through a neighborhood? Obviously, it’s not the kind of thing you want to do if the roads aren’t closed, but it made my inner hooligan smile…
