haha cadillac designers go to sleep dreaming of how they could get their car to be as sophisticated and advanced like the gtr.. lool.. they call themselves the new sports car standard of the world.. meanwhile the stock r35 spanks every design they have come up with in their foolish v class move over cadillac you'll never beat the japanese lool
In a GTR i can go fast and turn faster not to mention having around 100 more hp than the z06 with a v6 rather than a v8. Id rather own an old school skyline than a new corvette
all Japanese cars look so similar. the difference between the look of this car an a corolla is like a corolla vs. a civic. It doesn't have the wow like a corvette does
@asillynoob yea but lately american cars are starting to look like japanese cars like the ford fiesta looks like a mazda2. the 2012 dodge challenge is a mix of the Evo and GTR. etc.
@asillynoob that's the point. Skyline rooted from family sedan back in 60's. They do not like flashy look like Corvette and that's their purpose. It is fun to watch this under-design car beat flashy Corvette.
@simracr94 Not likely. It would take a skilled driver to keep up with a GT-R on a track, and in real world conditions, especially in bad weather, the Corvette would have trouble eve staying on the road if it tried to keep up with the GT-R.
THATS IT?I can do a beter show then these guys,why the fuck are you even driving that car if you aren't realy drinving it,I got nothing with you 2 but you guys are boring !!!!!! man I would put some cameras on that car and drive it like hell,pussys.....
With all the performance and tech that u get in this thing, it is in a league of it's own. Corvettes are pretty nice but it just doesn't grow on u like the GTR....and u can drive this thing anywhere and people just somehow know what it is and they will take pictures and ask questions......that's when u know u own a car money well spent///
corvettes are great and i totally love them, great performance and great engines but i hate the way and the quality of their interiors, this car is powerful, its interior is great, and has 4 seats, not that big that can fit 4 adults, but you can throw stuff in the back its a great car, if i have a money i would just buy a GTR
@hazemvirus plus you wont have haters and doesnt posses that mystique that a lambo or ferrari has...its more on the tech and coolnes side GTR for the win
I love the GTR in many ways. even before, i loved the R34 GTR. but hey, the corvette is nice, ferreri is hot, etc. but this is one car that everyone can love and drive, even my mom.. weird enough, im not talkin about performance today. :D haha
"The car itself is not made from alien technology" because the car is waaayy more advanced than any alien technology ;P
And the best thing is that you can adjust the suspension so ride is stiffer. The looks are aggressive and every single line in this is made to cope with it's performance.
The Zr1 is just a performance car while the GTR is a sports car you can actually live with. You can't say "I take my kids to school in my corvette"
dumb comment. The ZR1 is more than a performance car. And the GTR is NOT a sports car. Why cant you live with a ZR1???? And BTW, the adjustable suspension is OLD news. The Vette had it for over 10 years.
But the adjustable suspension never improved the ride quality of the Vette. I don't know about the Zr1 if they did improve it but the older Vettes weren't really what you'd call a comforable ride. It's like a BMW M5, you get a lot of performance but it's unforgiving in the real world.
Plus the GTR and zr1 weren't really built as both a Performance car and an everyday driver but they tried to. If I wanted a sports car and an everyday driver, theres the Jaguar XKR and Porsche 911.
did you ever own a vette?? Sounds like you have never even been in one. FYI I have owned Vettes with the optional ride control and it sure does change the ride from soft to firm or vice versa. And the C5 to present have a VERY comfortable ride. Ask anyone that owns one.
Well if I say yes then nobody will believe me and I'd get millions of thumbs down and get spammed so no. I base things on reviews and not just one.
They claim the vette's not that great on the road but what I believe is the cause of the uncomfortable ride would be the tires. I never really knew much about the C5. Maybe the C6 which I know is a bit different to a C5, C6 Z06 and C6 Zr1.
i heard that small turbo make the full boost to the lower end and it maintain the torque all the way through the powerband in gtr 34. soso weird , how come small turbo make that kind of effect.
dude..... go see it in person, feel the lines of the car, test drive one, and you know the R34 and the R35 are totally different car. You cant compare the 2.....
guess what if any car is modified it can beat a porsche dude. fitting a 570hp 454cu. in. 7.4L big block with a super charger you'll get about 700hp. Add that in a corvette and that car is the best and untouchable. This car is a bargain for 70k though much like the z06 corvette thats worth 65k. The only thing I don't really like about the car is the styling.. But thats only my opinion..
i'd delete the spoiler i always think they look better without them. i know its functional but i'm not a racer, and it'd probably beat 200 without the wing's drag
This review is terrible. We see more of that dude than of the car. We hear more of his voice than the exhaust. We get no feeling for this vehicle, other than what he has to say. What a load of self-infatuated shit. How can you have this car for 48 hours and only come up with this?
"I'll admit that this is a face only a mother could love. But at the same time, this car is so aggressive looking, it looks like its about to punch ya in the face"
bahahahaha. Only a mother could love? No, it's sexy as fuck. Like it's about to punch you in the face? FUCK YES!
ok well you have a point. But I didn't want to include Italians in the list cause they are in a total different league if you know what I mean loool :P
Actually, here's the Top Ten: Americans (SSC Ultimate Aero, 256.18 mph) Germans (Bugatti (VW) Veyron, 253.81 mph) Swedish (Koenigsegg CCX, 241.63 mph) Americans (Saleen S7TT, 248 mph) British (Mclaren F1, 240.1 mph) Italians (Ferrari Enzo, 217 mph) British (Jaguar XJ220, 215 mph) Italians (Pagani Zonda F, 213 mph) Italians (Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, 212 mph) Germans (Porsche Carrera GT, 209 mph) Well, would you look at that, 2 of the top 5 are American... We win... Sorry. That's F A C T.
but I'm not talking about speed here, although I respect it. I'm talking about a true sport car with high quality and reliability. A car that you really can trust on the road, and this what american sports cars will never achieve, because they are all about looks and engine nothing more !
My old man has a 2000 Corvette, he gets 28 highway/20 City mpg, has had only minor repairs, the car is flawless inside and out, and he drives it all the time. It's a great car, interior quality has held up, and even after 9 years and many many miles it still runs like brand new. Sorry, but I totally disagree, Americans can make good sports cars, my old man's Corvette is a good example.
Hey nice ad-hominem attack, dickhead. But anyways, the best built, most reliable, and technologically advanced car on earth is the Bugatti Veyron. It's fast, safe, handles well, is comfortable, and is designed to last. Fact: It costs over $5 Million to build a Veyron, but it is sold for a mere $1.2-1.5 Million. So it's also a steal, what other car can you buy for less money than it costs to build it? None. So I think I've made my point, best sports car in the World is the Bugatti Veyron.
well if the bugatti veyron is the best car , then why do you specifically stress out the fact that americans are the best? and telling me that i made an ad-hominem attack is surely a bad thing to do because i am addressing to you as a car enthusiast and i expect the same from you .i do not need to bring any proof or arguments what so ever to sustain my argument .and you cannot say that the ssc aero is the best car in the world , not even the bugatti ,there are some better cars out there
Don't get me wrong, I love Euro and Amero cars far more than asian import. That's why i'd like to point out that the new Porsche 9FF GT9 is now the fastest at 259 mph. It's actually been dubbed the "Veyron Killer".
I just about vomited into my mouth a bit there. Stop lessening cars like this by saying what could outrun them in a straight line. It's a car built for the race track and there are a few cars that can beat it there but not many.
this car is nice for people saying shit about fucking v8 pushrod motors... you can suck a dick. Cause normally you dont see any of there cars pushing 505 hp with out a turbo. and how about the ford mustang with dohc on 4.6 liters? Yeah thats a v8 if you didnt know that the car is nice but v6 torque vs v8 torque totally different and for those who say put a v10 or v12 in it then it sounds like shit for exhaust note bigger maybe better in some cases but most of you losers know shit.
guys i hat 2 say dis , da car is good & all & in my city (dubai) u hav it in evry nook N cornr.. forget my vette, v hav 2ton 4X4 smokin dis thing.. in th street who cares handln.. keep n mind- less cost, more power rule of th street..
Typical American retard. You fuckers always think that a V8 makes everything better. Nothing is good unless it's got a V8. No engine could EVER be as good as a V8.
Haha. I don't drive a Prius. Typical American retard who thinks that everybody who doesn't suck the mystical V8's cock drives a puny little car with a puny little engine.
How does it feel to know that your car industry is failing because it can't make a car without pushrods and leaf springs?
Also: A 12 typically has more output than a V8, why not put that into the GT-R? Oh wait, that's because you're American, you can only think in terms of: 'VEE ATE MAEK IT FASTUR YEEHAW'
Its all about build quality. The only American Vehicle i'd want from the Big Three, would be the 1990 to 1993 Corvette ZR-1, with the LT5 Engine developed by Lotus.
The rest....well, my g/f has a 3 year old Taurus thats practically scrap already - failed fuel pump, dashboard, gearbox, brakes, just about everything has gone wrong on it, or fallen off. It looks and feels like its built by apes.
People with a myopic 'domestic only' mindset really do need to wake the f*ck up and get educated.
Does Nissan make a V12? NO!!! They only make 4,6, and 8 cylinder cars. What really is your problem, i said the comment because i was like "Wow, 3.3 0-60 from a twin-turbo V6, imagine what a twin-turbo V8 can do."
Not all Americans idolize the V8 you know. V8's are a time-tested design, and people just stick to what they're comfortable with. Not just Americans, either.
As for me though, I'm currently trying to modify a Chrysler I-6 ("Slant Six"). I'm hoping convert it over to EFI this spring and turbocharge it by the end of this coming summer.
No car companies are doing well right now though. Even with GM and Chrysler having issues, Ford is still making ends meet.
I'm an American, and I think this car is the greatest car ever built. There is not an American car that can touch this GT-R past or present. GM, Ford and Chrysler could learn something from Nissan.
its not highly destinguishable from the rest of the corvette line, without seeing it up close to c the hood and other minor changes u wuldnt know, especially seeing it going down the highway or across a parking lot. what can the gtr b confused with?
Lemme settle your fued. Skyline gr-r is awesome prodution car for around 70k. There is nothing out there that can compete. But if i had unlimeted money there are others that i would buy. You cant compare a 70k car with 150k car they would never be the same. As far as american.... I would keep my classic american muscle over just about anything includeing gt-r. The 2 just cant b compared. Both of u fueders need to buy a corvette and go get laid. The corvette can not be beat for that.
Depends on the place you live in. A lambo, ferrari or even porsche is going to get you laid a helluva lot faster than a corvette which is just crying for attention, but never gets it.
Rite, GTR is badass,a cool toy to keep at home, its a High tech playstation car. But if you want more attention from girls than buy a Vett or BMW, BENZ they cost around the same. If you can't afford any of these cars, than don't waste your time talking about them.
Hey if you want to drive a Vette like EVERYBODY else then buy a Vette...But if you want a car that can handle anything you throw at it then the GTR is for you.
Z06 No, does not "smash" it. The GTR ahs a faster everything, handles better. The only way it does lose is though weight since the Z06's body panels are made from fiberglass. But I do agree the ZR1 is awesome as fuck. Everything shows that the GTR is better than the Z06, but the ZR1 dominates.
okay i am going to shut u all up it is all wheel drive i know i have a 93 Skyline gtr and there all the same! go to a dealership and see for your self and also if you wanna test drive one be sure u have 10000.00 in the bank they will not let you do it i know cuz i had to take a bank statment to drive one! just cuz of the few numbers being produced
The GTR would probably eat it for lunch. with a twin supercharged 572ci engine and RWD, you'd never put that power down. Throttle-control on a car like that would also be pretty awful, it's probably undrivable on the road. And don't even get me started on the handling... with 60s-era American muscle-cars, they're all "Handling? What's that?"
Im saying on the drag strip, the nissan isnt amazing, and considering its the fastest STOCK car japan has made (has 2 turbos), the ford gt would destroy it, now slap 2 turbos on a ford gt and you have a 1000 rwhp monster that believe it or not CAN turn!
A Ford GT would probably come close to catching it, but there are a few shortcomings to the GT. First, it costs twice as much. Second, it is 2WD. Third, it only seats two.
So it is out of the price range of a lot of people who can afford a GTR, it can't put its power to the road as effectively as the GTR and it isn't practical as a "daily driver" unlike the GTR.
What is amazing about the GTR is that it is a practical daily-driver than can keep up with Ferrari's best production cars.
no it cant...its not a supercar, not even close, and especially if its a daily driver. you see, japan does not make exotic cars, they soup up their sedans and shave off two doors, such as the skyline. the corvette is the same price just about, and would destroy the skyline, its been proven. and its a daily driver, i see them all over the place, (not the zr1's) but its pathetic that thats the best car japan has EVER made, and it still cant play with the big boys.
It can't? You're wrong. It has been objectively proven. Top Gear sent their racing driver around their test track in a stock GTR... (excerpts) Gumpert Apollo S - 1:17.1 Pagani Zonda F - 1:18.4 Enzo - 1:19.0 GTR - 1:19.7 Ferrari 430 Scuderia - 1:19.7 Porsche Carrera GT - 1:19.8 Lambo Murcielago LP640 - 1:19.8 Koenigsegg CCX - 1:20.4 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren - 1:20.9 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano - 1:21.2 Ford GT - 1:21.9 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale - 1:22.3
it takes two turbos. let me remind you that the first stock car to reach over 200mph was american (superbird 426), nascars go over 150mph all day and dont have problems, a skyline cant do 0-60 in under 3 seconds while a top fuel (v8) makes 8000 horsepower (with NHRA restrictions) and goes 0-60 in less than half a second, and the worlds fastest car was the twin turbo v8 ultimate aero. also, the ford gt40 spanked enzo in the lemans for 4 years in a row, now thats history, what has skyline done?
So what if it uses turbos. What's wrong with that? A 1970 Plymouth going 200mph? Jesus, talk about taking your life in your hands. And what's this crap about top fuel dragsters?! You're just getting hysterical now. Face it, Nissan has built one hell of a car and there isn't a single American production car at any price that can touch it.
In nascar, the 426 production engine topped 200 mph, and the bottom of the block was bullet proof steel, so it wouldnt warp under extreme heat conditions. and believe it or not, although they cannot turn, the top fuels have 8000 horsepower, with nhra restrictions. thats whats good about american cars is going straight lol, i guess europe and japan defeat us on the turns :]
And this has what to do with street cars that run on unleaded gasoline and have to meet government regulations on emissions and noise? Nothing. It doesn't take a lot of skill to get lots of power out of a fuel like nitromethane.
Again, there isn't a production car in the world that can touch the GTR for performance and that's especially impressive considering the GTR can be used as a "daily driver".
no, not true look at the z06, that beats it in a straight line all motor no turbo's and no gay ass trans brake and thats about the same price as the gt-r and if thast not enough for ya theirs the zr-1 that would destroy the gt-r and by the way i'm not a gm fan i'm just stating the facts.
Who cares about "straight line" performance? That's just a lame ass excuse for American cars because they can't go around corners worth a damn.
BTW, the GTR smoked the Z06 by nearly 3 full seconds on Top Gear's track.
The ZR1 isn't likely to bear it either because the limiting factor of Corvette performance has never been power but rather traction and handling. Oh, and the ZR1 costs 50% more than the GTR so it is hardly a comparison. Plus, the GTR is a daily-driver, the ZR1? Not!
american cars dont need excuses, you say who cares about straight line performance cause american cars outperform crappy asian cars in that category and who really needs a car that does exceptionally well for a daily driver?? that shit is meant for the road course track unlike when u use straight line performance anywhere, cities, highway so fourth and since thats what people have been doing since the 50's and prob. b4 that ur just all pissed off cause american cars are better thats all.
Straight-line performance isn't a "category", it is an excuse for cars that can't go around corners properly.
Sorry, but giving a car the kind of performance we see in the GTR and still making it a daily driver is pretty impressive. Imagine how much better the car would have been if they'd made it a two-seater.
You're just jealous because a Japanese daily driver is kicking the crap out of Corvettes and Vipers.
no that isnt kicking the crap out of corvettes and vipers at all, and thats not an excuse all i pointed out was the facts and that was that american cars are quicker and ur just ballin ur eyes out cause i'm correct and u know it.
I'd say that on a short track like Top Gear's, shaving nearly 3 seconds off the Corvette's time (and nearly 10 seconds off a Viper's time) is "kicking the crap" out of it.
The fact is that the GTR has been tested and proved to be faster than a both a Z06 and a Viper SRT-10.
top gears track isnt "short" especially when it takes well over a minute to complete. and u take the gt-r to the drag strip vs the viper and z06 and it would lose to both, do ur homework.
Over a minute isn't a long track. The Nurburgring is a long track - of course the GTR beats the Z06 there as well. However, my point was than on a short 1+ minute track, shaving 3 (or 10) seconds of a competing car's time is a definitive rout.
Who cares about a "drag strip"? Straight-line acceleration is for kids. Though, to be fair, the GTR's 3.2 second 0-60 time is still faster than the Z06's 3.6 second time.
As I said, the Z06's limiter isn't power but grip and handling.
yes your comparing off the line performance that the gtr uses a silly trans brake to accelerate(cause it doesnt have enough under the hood) compared to the z06 that uses all motor and still beats it in the 1/4 mile. thanks for pointing out how great american cars are. =-)
Just because the Z06 has inferior grip and handling that doesn't mean you have to complain about the GTR's superior technology. Face it, the Corvette isn't really a sports car... it is a low-slung pickup truck without a bed - replete with pushrod engine and leaf-spring suspension. No wonder it can't compete with the GTR.
Oh, and for the record, the GTR's engine gives more power than the Z06's - plus, AWD to put that power down more effectively. That's another reason the Z06 can't compete.
the corvette has been a sports car wayyyy b4 the skyline and the reason it cant compete with the gtr is cause its 2 fast for the gtr. and the skyline has what 400 some horse power??? dude be for real man the z06 has 505 horse power so get ur stats correct and face the fact that the corvette is a legend, what has the gtr ever done i mean 4 real.
The Corvette has NEVER been a "sports car". It has always been a "muscle car". There's a big difference. The Lotus Elise is a sports car. The Corvette is not.
GTR: 480bhp - at the rear wheels.
Z06: 505bhp at the flywheel (~420bhp at the rear wheels).
That's why the Z06 is extra half second slower to 60mph - that and the inferior grip.
Also, the Z06 costs about $5,000 more than the GTR & only seats two.
So, the Z06 is slower, more expensive and less practical... nice.
um 2 bad ur stats are incorrect, the gtr puts 414 horse power to the wheels and the z06 doesnt have 420 thats not a 30% drive train loss so if ur gonna talk shit atleast get ur stats correct. oh and by the way the z06 goes for 65k while the skyline goes for over 70. and z06 has a slower 0-60 cause it doesnt use a gay trans brake.
Actually, according to independent dyno tests of production GTRs, they're putting 480bhp to the wheels - all *four* wheels, unlike the RWD Corvertte.
420 rwhp represents a 20% drivetrain loss from 505 at the output shaft which is perfectly normal.
MSRP on the Z06 is ~$75k - on he GTR it is ~$70k.
The Z06 is slower in a straight line because it can't put all its power to the road. It is slower on the road because it can't put all its power down and also because it handles like shit.
haha cadillac designers go to sleep dreaming of how they could get their car to be as sophisticated and advanced like the gtr.. lool.. they call themselves the new sports car standard of the world.. meanwhile the stock r35 spanks every design they have come up with in their foolish v class move over cadillac you'll never beat the japanese lool

And the best thing is that you can adjust the suspension so ride is stiffer. The looks are aggressive and every single line in this is made to cope with it's performance.
The Zr1 is just a performance car while the GTR is a sports car you can actually live with. You can't say "I take my kids to school in my corvette"
Porsche 911 is the proper competitor!
mondeost2202008 2 years ago
dumb comment. The ZR1 is more than a performance car. And the GTR is NOT a sports car. Why cant you live with a ZR1???? And BTW, the adjustable suspension is OLD news. The Vette had it for over 10 years.

But the adjustable suspension never improved the ride quality of the Vette. I don't know about the Zr1 if they did improve it but the older Vettes weren't really what you'd call a comforable ride. It's like a BMW M5, you get a lot of performance but it's unforgiving in the real world.

i heard that small turbo make the full boost to the lower end and it maintain the torque all the way through the powerband in gtr 34. soso weird , how come small turbo make that kind of effect.

smaller turbos need less exhaust to spool it
k20civic1664 2 years ago
It has 2 turbos not just 1. Smaller turbos spool faster so less turbo lag and with 2 working you get linear power trough out the powerband

guess what if any car is modified it can beat a porsche dude. fitting a 570hp 454cu. in. 7.4L big block with a super charger you'll get about 700hp. Add that in a corvette and that car is the best and untouchable. This car is a bargain for 70k though much like the z06 corvette thats worth 65k.

Hey nice ad-hominem attack, dickhead. But anyways, the best built, most reliable, and technologically advanced car on earth is the Bugatti Veyron. It's fast, safe, handles well, is comfortable, and is designed to last. Fact: It costs over $5 Million to build a Veyron, but it is sold for a mere $1.2-1.5 Million. So it's also a steal, what other car can you buy for less money than it costs to build it? None. So I think I've made my point, best sports car in the World is the Bugatti Veyron.

A Corvette ZR-1 from 90-93? Nice. I like that generation. The styling was really rather conservative for a Corvette, but I think it worked.
Taurus was a joke after the old box-body was ditched, but that sounds like an outright disaster on the part of your girl's car.
I like the old SHO. Those Yamaha V6 engines were really tough from what I've heard.

Not all Americans idolize the V8 you know. V8's are a time-tested design, and people just stick to what they're comfortable with. Not just Americans, either.
As for me though, I'm currently trying to modify a Chrysler I-6 ("Slant Six"). I'm hoping convert it over to EFI this spring and turbocharge it by the end of this coming summer.
No car companies are doing well right now though. Even with GM and Chrysler having issues, Ford is still making ends meet.

The GTR would probably eat it for lunch. with a twin supercharged 572ci engine and RWD, you'd never put that power down. Throttle-control on a car like that would also be pretty awful, it's probably undrivable on the road. And don't even get me started on the handling... with 60s-era American muscle-cars, they're all "Handling? What's that?"
Gwynne66 3 years ago 2
Im saying on the drag strip, the nissan isnt amazing, and considering its the fastest STOCK car japan has made (has 2 turbos), the ford gt would destroy it, now slap 2 turbos on a ford gt and you have a 1000 rwhp monster that believe it or not CAN turn!
suprbird 3 years ago
A Ford GT would probably come close to catching it, but there are a few shortcomings to the GT. First, it costs twice as much. Second, it is 2WD. Third, it only seats two.
So it is out of the price range of a lot of people who can afford a GTR, it can't put its power to the road as effectively as the GTR and it isn't practical as a "daily driver" unlike the GTR.
What is amazing about the GTR is that it is a practical daily-driver than can keep up with Ferrari's best production cars.
Gwynne66 3 years ago 2
no it cant...its not a supercar, not even close, and especially if its a daily driver. you see, japan does not make exotic cars, they soup up their sedans and shave off two doors, such as the skyline. the corvette is the same price just about, and would destroy the skyline, its been proven. and its a daily driver, i see them all over the place, (not the zr1's) but its pathetic that thats the best car japan has EVER made, and it still cant play with the big boys.
suprbird 3 years ago
Gwynne66 3 years ago
I wouldn't call a car that can beat supercars costing many times its price around a test tract and yet comfortably seat four "pathetic".
Clearly it can not only "play with the big boys" but it can hand them their balls.
Gwynne66 3 years ago
it takes two turbos. let me remind you that the first stock car to reach over 200mph was american (superbird 426), nascars go over 150mph all day and dont have problems, a skyline cant do 0-60 in under 3 seconds while a top fuel (v8) makes 8000 horsepower (with NHRA restrictions) and goes 0-60 in less than half a second, and the worlds fastest car was the twin turbo v8 ultimate aero. also, the ford gt40 spanked enzo in the lemans for 4 years in a row, now thats history, what has skyline done?
suprbird 3 years ago
So what if it uses turbos. What's wrong with that? A 1970 Plymouth going 200mph? Jesus, talk about taking your life in your hands. And what's this crap about top fuel dragsters?! You're just getting hysterical now. Face it, Nissan has built one hell of a car and there isn't a single American production car at any price that can touch it.
Gwynne66 3 years ago
In nascar, the 426 production engine topped 200 mph, and the bottom of the block was bullet proof steel, so it wouldnt warp under extreme heat conditions. and believe it or not, although they cannot turn, the top fuels have 8000 horsepower, with nhra restrictions. thats whats good about american cars is going straight lol, i guess europe and japan defeat us on the turns :]
suprbird 3 years ago
And this has what to do with street cars that run on unleaded gasoline and have to meet government regulations on emissions and noise? Nothing. It doesn't take a lot of skill to get lots of power out of a fuel like nitromethane.
Again, there isn't a production car in the world that can touch the GTR for performance and that's especially impressive considering the GTR can be used as a "daily driver".
Gwynne66 3 years ago
no, not true look at the z06, that beats it in a straight line all motor no turbo's and no gay ass trans brake and thats about the same price as the gt-r and if thast not enough for ya theirs the zr-1 that would destroy the gt-r and by the way i'm not a gm fan i'm just stating the facts.
guitaristwagner 3 years ago
Who cares about "straight line" performance? That's just a lame ass excuse for American cars because they can't go around corners worth a damn.
BTW, the GTR smoked the Z06 by nearly 3 full seconds on Top Gear's track.
The ZR1 isn't likely to bear it either because the limiting factor of Corvette performance has never been power but rather traction and handling. Oh, and the ZR1 costs 50% more than the GTR so it is hardly a comparison. Plus, the GTR is a daily-driver, the ZR1? Not!
Gwynne66 3 years ago
american cars dont need excuses, you say who cares about straight line performance cause american cars outperform crappy asian cars in that category and who really needs a car that does exceptionally well for a daily driver?? that shit is meant for the road course track unlike when u use straight line performance anywhere, cities, highway so fourth and since thats what people have been doing since the 50's and prob. b4 that ur just all pissed off cause american cars are better thats all.
guitaristwagner 3 years ago
Straight-line performance isn't a "category", it is an excuse for cars that can't go around corners properly.
Sorry, but giving a car the kind of performance we see in the GTR and still making it a daily driver is pretty impressive. Imagine how much better the car would have been if they'd made it a two-seater.
You're just jealous because a Japanese daily driver is kicking the crap out of Corvettes and Vipers.
Gwynne66 3 years ago
no that isnt kicking the crap out of corvettes and vipers at all, and thats not an excuse all i pointed out was the facts and that was that american cars are quicker and ur just ballin ur eyes out cause i'm correct and u know it.
guitaristwagner 3 years ago
I'd say that on a short track like Top Gear's, shaving nearly 3 seconds off the Corvette's time (and nearly 10 seconds off a Viper's time) is "kicking the crap" out of it.
The fact is that the GTR has been tested and proved to be faster than a both a Z06 and a Viper SRT-10.
That is what I know to be correct.
Gwynne66 3 years ago
top gears track isnt "short" especially when it takes well over a minute to complete. and u take the gt-r to the drag strip vs the viper and z06 and it would lose to both, do ur homework.
guitaristwagner 3 years ago
Over a minute isn't a long track. The Nurburgring is a long track - of course the GTR beats the Z06 there as well. However, my point was than on a short 1+ minute track, shaving 3 (or 10) seconds of a competing car's time is a definitive rout.
Who cares about a "drag strip"? Straight-line acceleration is for kids. Though, to be fair, the GTR's 3.2 second 0-60 time is still faster than the Z06's 3.6 second time.
As I said, the Z06's limiter isn't power but grip and handling.
Gwynne66 3 years ago
yes your comparing off the line performance that the gtr uses a silly trans brake to accelerate(cause it doesnt have enough under the hood) compared to the z06 that uses all motor and still beats it in the 1/4 mile. thanks for pointing out how great american cars are. =-)
guitaristwagner 3 years ago
Just because the Z06 has inferior grip and handling that doesn't mean you have to complain about the GTR's superior technology. Face it, the Corvette isn't really a sports car... it is a low-slung pickup truck without a bed - replete with pushrod engine and leaf-spring suspension. No wonder it can't compete with the GTR.
Oh, and for the record, the GTR's engine gives more power than the Z06's - plus, AWD to put that power down more effectively. That's another reason the Z06 can't compete.
Gwynne66 3 years ago
the corvette has been a sports car wayyyy b4 the skyline and the reason it cant compete with the gtr is cause its 2 fast for the gtr. and the skyline has what 400 some horse power??? dude be for real man the z06 has 505 horse power so get ur stats correct and face the fact that the corvette is a legend, what has the gtr ever done i mean 4 real.
guitaristwagner 3 years ago
The Corvette has NEVER been a "sports car". It has always been a "muscle car". There's a big difference. The Lotus Elise is a sports car. The Corvette is not.
GTR: 480bhp - at the rear wheels.
Z06: 505bhp at the flywheel (~420bhp at the rear wheels).
That's why the Z06 is extra half second slower to 60mph - that and the inferior grip.
Also, the Z06 costs about $5,000 more than the GTR & only seats two.
So, the Z06 is slower, more expensive and less practical... nice.
Gwynne66 3 years ago 3
um 2 bad ur stats are incorrect, the gtr puts 414 horse power to the wheels and the z06 doesnt have 420 thats not a 30% drive train loss so if ur gonna talk shit atleast get ur stats correct. oh and by the way the z06 goes for 65k while the skyline goes for over 70. and z06 has a slower 0-60 cause it doesnt use a gay trans brake.
guitaristwagner 3 years ago
Actually, according to independent dyno tests of production GTRs, they're putting 480bhp to the wheels - all *four* wheels, unlike the RWD Corvertte.
420 rwhp represents a 20% drivetrain loss from 505 at the output shaft which is perfectly normal.
MSRP on the Z06 is ~$75k - on he GTR it is ~$70k.
The Z06 is slower in a straight line because it can't put all its power to the road. It is slower on the road because it can't put all its power down and also because it handles like shit.
