@kaeferzwei there is no turbo in the zr1 so does that mean we can't use it? there is no supercharger in the GTR so can we not use it? there is no AWD in the zr1 so can we only use the back wheels? it's showing the better car, they should have put it in if they wanted a better car
@kaeferzwei Um, well the GTR doesn't have 638hp like the ZR1, so then we need to tune it up if we want it to be fair, right? Even without launch control, the GTR is still awd versus a rwd corvette, so do we have to pull the front driveshaft on the nissan to make it fair too?
If 2 everyday car enthusiasts, went out and bought a GTR and ZR1, and raced them againist each other, the GTR would win easily, in all these videos where a ZR1 beats a GTR its driven by a profesional, so they know how to use it, but these cars arent jsut race cars, there designed for the everyday world, the GTR will always be faster in the real world.
@JC278 True. It takes a great driver to go from 0-60 in 3.5 secs in a zr1. Even then it's hard to stay consistent. Any retard can do 0-60 in 3.5 sec's in a GTR all day long. Plus it takes an expert driver to put down good laps in a ZR1. GTR is alot easier to drive for the average person. The GTR's performance is much more useable.
@m19921992 Insideline got a 3.3 0-60 time with their first test of a 2009 GTR. The vid is in the right column in the related videos. Half of a second faster than this one, and even faster than Nissan's official 3.5 second rating for the 2009 model.
@ambientflier So you expect every gtr to be exactly the same? Early GTR's were riddled with transmission failures and electronic inconsistency, I would expect the average GTR to do 0-60 in more than 3.3sec. You've got to remember Nissan has been caught pumping up the press cars and doing laps with R compounds(and saying they used street tires).
@m19921992 Riddled with transmission failures? You mean the few people that blew them up by abusing the launch control? One guy did something like 20+ launches in a day. He said so on the forums before it blew. Nissan never got caught with any kind of r compound tires. That's the BS the domestic fanboys believed due to some kind of translation error from japanese. The gtrs always ran with factory tires.
@ambientflier Yes riddled with transmission failures, plenty of proof here on youtube. I'd like to read a part from the GTR owners manual, Racing or driving in a sporty fashion may void your warranty. What kind of crap is that? By the way I'm not a domestic car fan at all, The GTR is just a piece of crap. Maybe if it had a 6 speed it wouldn't have this problem and it'd be a drivers car.
@m19921992 Yes, because car companies voiding warranties on raced vehicles is unheard of...right? I'm willing to bet a lot of high performance vehicles carry the same warnings. If the GTR had a manual, it wouldn't be as fast and people would destroy them like the evo and sti guys do by dumping the clutch at redline.
@ambientflier For the most part with sports cars, companies wont void your warranty. The simple fact is the GTR isn't a fun car to drive, and its not reliable(even Nissan themselves don't want to deal with it). I do agree with a 6 speed the GTR wouldn't be as fast, but it'd have alot more going for it. I also don't believe people would destroy them as easily.
@HectorHTC It's called less than perfect testing conditions like a slick surface?? Did you see all the wheelspin. Just because your favorites car doesn't get exactly what you want it to, doesn't mean the testers suck.
@smczack1 I would sure hope the ZR1 could beat a 2009 gtr, seeing as how it's much more expensive and has 150hp more, dumbass. The Z06 has the same power and costs about the same, so it makes sense for them to run neck and neck.
haha wow even with launch control and 4wd the acceleration still is above 3.5; and even if this was put up against a zo6 it still would lose; the competition for this one would be a grand sport
@steelgolfer811 Hey genius, if this awd car has so much wheelspin, chances are the Z06 would be above 4 seconds to 60 because obviously the surface is very slick. A GTR will beat a Z06 in the 1/4 every single time under similar conditions. Can't top awd and launch control.
@ambientflier um a z06 has a trap speed of over 120mph while the 09 gt-r doesn't and never has (2012 clocked in at 124 though). so it will actually lose in the quarter mile genius. I've seen a lot of these races an all the gt-r can do against the z06 is beat it in the 0-60mph and then the z06 will slowly pull away. Gt-r is a glorified jap car that when launched hard (ruining the warranty) will make it close to what the porsche turbo can do. but a nissian is still a shitty car like a vette
@suprattkk Lol...the Z06 can have a 130mph trap speed and the GTR can have a 100mph trap speed, but if the time for the Z06 is an 11.8 and the GTR an 11.7, the Nissan is still faster in the 1/4. The trap speed only means the Corvette will be faster AFTER the 1/4 mile or from a roll. The Z06 will NEVER pull away until well after 100mph, if at all. Get a clue.
Also, the launch control doesn't void any warranty on ANY gtr. It did for a bit, until Nissan reprogrammed it.
Real engineering does not do all of the driving for you. Go visit a race track and ask any member of a race team how many assists their super high performance vehicles have. The answer will be little to none. The problem is not a ZR1 with too much power. The problem is idiots buying a ZR1 with too much power who can't handle it and don't bother taking any driving classes so that they can.

Strange how the 370z can do 0.98g according the Edmunds? so that's a better car than the GTR? yeah right the GTR can corner at 2G not 0.93g BS total BS there down playing the GTR's potential fact!
Not a chance. The 370Z weighs about 3200lbs to the GT-R's 3800. Contrary to what people keep insisting, a RWD car like a Z also has more handling potential than AWD if they are both given a skilled driver. That is why it handles better. There is no car short of a race car that can corner on a skidpad at 2g's let along something that weighs as much as a GT-R.
Watch how the GTR goes round the skid pad, its designed to be driven fast by anyone it doesn't slide or wobble or scare the shit out of you, corvettes are race cars for pro's who can handle it. GM If you're gonna put that kind of power on a public highway at least make it safer for everyone, the days when everyone can drive like a hooligan are fading. The US car makers need to stop building this garbage and give us some real engineering, this huge power stuff has already been done years ago.
@ctcosgrove i kno how old ur comment is but i just gotta answer.... have u heard of the 2013 c7? they plan to make it a 5.5 liter 440 hp car.... i highly doubt it will keep its "only for pro" driving style.... seems to me it will be an easier track car to drive.. and hopefully it will have explosive acceleration i mean a corvette with 440 hp? it should be super light if they plan to make it a super car... and they arent playing around with it... i heard its gonna go against porsche 911 gt2 :)
I do not understand why Chevy faggots have to be competitive to the point of stupidity. The GT-R was made to challenge the Z06,not ZR1. The power difference is obvious,more than 100. And the spec sheets are contrasting. Point 2. The GT-R Spec V is made NOT for performance,but for exclusivity,the main reason for mild but effective upgrades and a wee bump of 5 horsepower. Even the GT-R's chief engineer said "The high performance GT-R you are looking for isn't the Spec V. That is only a glimpse."
The GTR rules for the money as far as performance numbers are concerned. I do not have any bias or favorites as far brands. I have owned several high performance cars and it comes down to what you want them for!
how come the other gt-r you tested had 0.3 more grip and stopped 8 ft shorter in similar conditions? and how did car and driver use the same launch control on the same surface and get 3.3 seconds 0-60 then 3.6 then 4.1? and how does the same guy that did a 7:38 get a 7:54 in the gt-r? its clear the gt-r is more track tuned but why is it that they cant build consistent performers? its obvious the same model in same conditions with same driver should perform at least similar!!
I can't believe that a blown v 6 can keep up with a blown v10 in the corvette
the GTR is the best bang for the buck and the spec V being a lot lighter and more powerfull will actually surpass the vette that is an accomplishment on par with Porsche Bravo Nissan astounding
you know what?? i clearly think that whoever test these vehicles should let the vehicle "break in" at about 3000 miles to get their full potential. not just go ahead and drive it straight up. let it break in and you'll hear its full potential.
No it doesn't, but it won't Mototrend Americas best handling car 2008 beating the GT-R. Everybody says it handles better. Nissan GT-R doesn't even let driver play, it just goes around corners in slight understeer and oversteer for minimal loss of speed and that's it. Audi R8 is probably the best handling car on planet.
Unfortunantly the ACR was and is the best in raw handling. Where the R8 kicks it ass is in driver feel and comfort. The ACR forces you to push it, the R8 lets you do what you want.
You're must be kidding, everything about Viper's handling is just terrible. Lack of grip on the front wheels, understeer that immediately goes into oversteer, the only good thing about ACR are tweaks that a German company made to the chassis. In the end, Viper has some extreme levels of grip that allows for high cornering speed, but handling? Not even a slightly. I don't know why you are argueing, Motortrend's Americas best handling car is Audi R8, the end. It beat the GTR as well as Viper ACR.
I'm not arguing, because theres nothing to argue about. As far as a track car the ACR shits on most everything out. In Motortrend's Americas best handling car test the Viper was runninbg 5 sec faster lap times than even the GTR, which was running about a sec faster than the R8. Nobody in Germany touched the ACR because the ACR's cassis is a stock SRT-10 chassis, only differncxe is suspension and areo, aswell as weight. There is no understear in with the ACR, watch it at the track, its glued.
1. Wrong, the chassis was tuned by German company called KW motoring, they added their suspension that improved basically everything. Handling doesn't mean the same as Grip or cornering speed. ACR can generate the highest G forces of all cars through the corners but that doesn't mean it handles as well as the Audi R8.
Also, R8 was only a second behind GT-R, but look how it's down on power. GT-R has around 500 HP and 470 lb·ft of torque. R8 has respectable 414 HP but ONLY 317 lb·ft of torque
Like I said, the R8 lets you do what you want, overall its a better car, for a mix of road and track, for the track though, the ACR eats everything, The end.
I'd say ACR is for smoking people on the track. R8 for everything else. I'd also want my car to be mid-engined. Feels more special, like you're sitting on a rocket.
Indeed, I love the ACR to death, and will put an arm on it but I wouldnt buy one without having another car to drive daily. And yea mid engine just sounds cool.
It's not just about the sound, it's about feeling the engine in your spine. Especially Ferrari spends lots of time making their cars as exciting as possible.
You're right, sspope. It may do well with sticky tires on Skidpad, but you'll thorttle all the time on the track. That's where it understeers and oversteers.
i wouldn't say shit about the the new gtr....the only way the zr1 beat the gtr is by having more HORSEPOWER.......stupidasssss.....learn your shit.....zr1 borrow the engine by the z06 and tune it up to 600+ HP.......lol.....slow shit.....the zr1 beat it by a 3 seconds on the track....and also the QUATERMILE....it beat it by a couple seconds....lol.....620+ hp....lol....i bet the gtr with 620+ hp....i'lll smoke the the zr1 and the z06.....lol......fuck u haters too gtr win ya.....with stock 480hp
sorry but pretty much all of that is total bullshit. 1. the zr1 is based on the block of the base c6 engine and uses a supercharger, weighing 170 lbs less than the gt-r engine, also how come the zr1 stops from 60 10 feet shorter and has 0.13 g more lateral acceleration?! it pulls harder through the corners too, the ring time youre using was incredibly sloppy compare to the gt-r lap.
lol save your mouth......why u say that the v-spec welll save the gtr....look at the z06.....zr1 the one that save the asss of the slowassss z06.....stupidasss
All you idiots touting the spec-v are ignorant. Why don't you actually research what the spec-v will be before running to it to defend the GTR for getting it's ass whopped by the ZR1. The spec-v is not the savior you are hoping for.
Gidsum29, what is a transaxle without a transmission? DUH! Of course it is transmission,clutch and axle differential related. Dual clutch, single clutch, it does not matter Kiddies, heat changes the tolerences in the fit. Too hot and parts bind, friction material glazes,and it will burn up under big torque application. Off road clutches big truck clutches even motorcycle clutches. By the way Lambo, porsche, and ferrari clutches replacement cost as much as many nice little cars.
The bottom line is the GTR, Gallardo, F430, Corvette, etc, etc are all VERY fast cars. It's just different strokes for different blokes. Some people like the Small block Chevy, others like the feel of a Turbocharged V6, and others like the High-Revving V8. Some others like the High tourque V12. It just depends what ya'll like. Me personally? Ferrari anyday, but that's me. I could argur the finer points of a Ferrari all day, but if someone dosen't get it, they don't get it.
When you compare numbers, list the numbers done by the same testers moron. Check inside line nissan GTR 1st full test, it says the GTR 1/4 mile was a record breaker, falling behind was corvette z06 and Viper. Yes I know the Zr1 beat that, but you keep mentoning z06. We all know the z06 cannot keep up 0-60 and 1/4 mile with the GTR. And yes the zr1 is faster, but when the V spec comes out, it'll take the lead back again.
Well if I'm correct the Z06 is pushing about 600 hp while the GTR is pushing about 480 which is still VERY impressive considering the GTR is only a v6. But
If a Nissan GTR could Talk it would Say: "I know my cousin 350Z can't run with the big dogs, but if you fuck with me, i'll make your Bmw M6 and Porsche look like Volvo's in a Race"
NO....It has nothing to do with the transmission...Its the transaxle! You have to give the system(launch control) time to cool between runs (as with any duel clutch system i.e; Porsche new PDK system) as indicated by a blinking red light on the dash. This was ignored by a handful of ABUSERS that made consecutive runs and have a leaking tranaxle because of ABUSE. If your car is overheating would you pull over or keep driving?
dude why do u tell people to check auto blog. wouldnt u rather hear what the manufacturers said about the launch control?
it states that the launch control needs time to cool down between runs and excessive launching with failure to let the system cool down could cause transmission problems.
and if u knew anything about manufacturers, they ALL say they are not liable for any mechanical failures due to speed contests. so using launch control = speed contest
u've never heard of porsche and ferrari voiding warranties? lmfao. because most people who buy ferraris dont really race them. the GTR was an affordable car and most rich kids dont kno shit but to continuously abuse the launch control.
even in the GTR warranty it states that the launch control needs to be cooled down. seriously, go blow a diff on ANY car company from excessive launches and see if they repair your shit.
Well in Japan and Europe the GTR did just fine over there. if u read up on it, u'd know that excessive use of the launch control causes problems in the tranaxle. u must allow it to cool down, just like launching cars at high RPMs sometimes blows certain parts of your car. when magazines do tests, they actually launch the car 5 or 6 times and then average the numbers out. i didnt see a problem there. maybe rich kids got the car for their bday and went out trying to get 0-60 in 3.2 EVERY TIME
Amen to that. If GT-R can't run launch control without voiding the warranty then it should not have been put on the car to begin with. It is a cheatis means to accomplish an end that they haven't truely earned (They run it past its breaking point to get there). The day that the car can do the numbers and not royally fuck itself up, then they have a nice vehicle.
Doesn't it say that using launch control even a single time voids the warranty? If so, you could use it once, let it cool properly and never use it again and they still don't stand behind any problems. There goes your whole argument right out the window.
damn. what is this test? did u get a wrong car or something? i clearly remember ur other GT-R video was 3.3sec for 0-60! This must be an american modified version or something! lol joke
Like the R32 when it came out, It had problems like this one. After 89 and on they kept updating the R32 to perfect it. This is the 1st year of the R35 so we can all expect that in the next year or two people wont be having those problems.
It only costs that much right now because their still rare and their are only a hand full of them. Just wait till we get more of them the price will drop.
well even thought the vette woops it i still love it plus for the price you can pick one of these up for 75k(real market price) actually possible with a few years of savings and sacrafice vs. the vette at about 125k atleast i have a chance at this car.
i believe that it all depends on the settings of the buttons. i think they jus want the zr1 to look better so they leave the setting sport and not R!!!
no kuz if they put the traction control off then the warrenty is expired. I just think that the gtr is just started kus the zr1 is the third lev car th gtr is only the first cant wit 4 nismo gtr.
thats amazing how one person fucked up his tranny and everyone is all over the gtr while its the same fuckin tranny in the audi look even a vette if you blow the engine warranty won't replace it unless its because of a faulty part turning off traction control didn't void the warranty customer abuse did look into warranty policies also that tranny is made by brog warner and co-developed by vw just put into a transaxle that tranny is rated for 600hp
For all who dont subcribe to their website, Their GT-R has basiclly been rebuilt from about the transmission on back!
I forget what happened, but Nissan wanted the rear trans-axel sent back to japan for testing.
Dont know if that would cause them to have such different 0-60 times but its obvious that something has changed...even they get different times in their videos!
60mph 3.2-3.4 sec with LC on and good driver, i take a GTR over a ZR1 allday, the GTR is a real machine for anyone, anytime,anywhere not like the ZR1 a plastic crab its just faster and dangerous but not reliable you`ll never see a ZR1 on snow road.. GTR Godzilla

Even the GT-R's chief engineer said "The high performance GT-R you are looking for isn't the Spec V. That is only a glimpse."

The GTR rules for the money as far as performance numbers are concerned. I do not have any bias or favorites as far brands. I have owned several high performance cars and it comes down to what you want them for!
mcastro16 2 years ago
how come the other gt-r you tested had 0.3 more grip and stopped 8 ft shorter in similar conditions? and how did car and driver use the same launch control on the same surface and get 3.3 seconds 0-60 then 3.6 then 4.1? and how does the same guy that did a 7:38 get a 7:54 in the gt-r? its clear the gt-r is more track tuned but why is it that they cant build consistent performers? its obvious the same model in same conditions with same driver should perform at least similar!!

you know what?? i clearly think that whoever test these vehicles should let the vehicle "break in" at about 3000 miles to get their full potential. not just go ahead and drive it straight up. let it break in and you'll hear its full potential.

AUDI R8 handles better - 1.01 G on skidpad.
sspope 3 years ago
just because a car has a better skidpad doesn't mean it handles better
katokimo 2 years ago
No it doesn't, but it won't Mototrend Americas best handling car 2008 beating the GT-R. Everybody says it handles better. Nissan GT-R doesn't even let driver play, it just goes around corners in slight understeer and oversteer for minimal loss of speed and that's it. Audi R8 is probably the best handling car on planet.
sspope 2 years ago
Unfortunantly the ACR was and is the best in raw handling. Where the R8 kicks it ass is in driver feel and comfort. The ACR forces you to push it, the R8 lets you do what you want.
TEFLONTHADON 2 years ago
You're must be kidding, everything about Viper's handling is just terrible. Lack of grip on the front wheels, understeer that immediately goes into oversteer, the only good thing about ACR are tweaks that a German company made to the chassis. In the end, Viper has some extreme levels of grip that allows for high cornering speed, but handling? Not even a slightly. I don't know why you are argueing, Motortrend's Americas best handling car is Audi R8, the end. It beat the GTR as well as Viper ACR.
sspope 2 years ago
I'm not arguing, because theres nothing to argue about. As far as a track car the ACR shits on most everything out. In Motortrend's Americas best handling car test the Viper was runninbg 5 sec faster lap times than even the GTR, which was running about a sec faster than the R8. Nobody in Germany touched the ACR because the ACR's cassis is a stock SRT-10 chassis, only differncxe is suspension and areo, aswell as weight. There is no understear in with the ACR, watch it at the track, its glued.
TEFLONTHADON 2 years ago
1. Wrong, the chassis was tuned by German company called KW motoring, they added their suspension that improved basically everything. Handling doesn't mean the same as Grip or cornering speed. ACR can generate the highest G forces of all cars through the corners but that doesn't mean it handles as well as the Audi R8.
Also, R8 was only a second behind GT-R, but look how it's down on power. GT-R has around 500 HP and 470 lb·ft of torque. R8 has respectable 414 HP but ONLY 317 lb·ft of torque
sspope 2 years ago
and torque is very important when accelerating out of a corner.
sspope 2 years ago
ACR has 600 bhp, a boeing wing on the back, stickier tires and 560 lb·ft of torque, so not a very good comparison also.
Motortrend put ACR as well as GTR against R8 in handling comparison and they chose R8 as a winner. The end.
sspope 2 years ago
Like I said, the R8 lets you do what you want, overall its a better car, for a mix of road and track, for the track though, the ACR eats everything, The end.
TEFLONTHADON 2 years ago
I'd say ACR is for smoking people on the track. R8 for everything else. I'd also want my car to be mid-engined. Feels more special, like you're sitting on a rocket.
sspope 2 years ago
Indeed, I love the ACR to death, and will put an arm on it but I wouldnt buy one without having another car to drive daily. And yea mid engine just sounds cool.

sorry but pretty much all of that is total bullshit. 1. the zr1 is based on the block of the base c6 engine and uses a supercharger, weighing 170 lbs less than the gt-r engine, also how come the zr1 stops from 60 10 feet shorter and has 0.13 g more lateral acceleration?! it pulls harder through the corners too, the ring time youre using was incredibly sloppy compare to the gt-r lap.

Gidsum29, what is a transaxle without a transmission? DUH! Of course it is transmission,clutch and axle differential related. Dual clutch, single clutch, it does not matter Kiddies, heat changes the tolerences in the fit. Too hot and parts bind, friction material glazes,and it will burn up under big torque application. Off road clutches big truck clutches even motorcycle clutches. By the way Lambo, porsche, and ferrari clutches replacement cost as much as many nice little cars.

The bottom line is the GTR, Gallardo, F430, Corvette, etc, etc are all VERY fast cars. It's just different strokes for different blokes. Some people like the Small block Chevy, others like the feel of a Turbocharged V6, and others like the High-Revving V8. Some others like the High tourque V12. It just depends what ya'll like. Me personally? Ferrari anyday, but that's me. I could argur the finer points of a Ferrari all day, but if someone dosen't get it, they don't get it.

When you compare numbers, list the numbers done by the same testers moron. Check inside line nissan GTR 1st full test, it says the GTR 1/4 mile was a record breaker, falling behind was corvette z06 and Viper. Yes I know the Zr1 beat that, but you keep mentoning z06. We all know the z06 cannot keep up 0-60 and 1/4 mile with the GTR. And yes the zr1 is faster, but when the V spec comes out, it'll take the lead back again.

gidsum29 3 years ago
SO let me get this straight....when the transmission on the new GTR supercar is hot, you cannot use the launch control?
MeLikeGoFast 3 years ago
NO....It has nothing to do with the transmission...Its the transaxle! You have to give the system(launch control) time to cool between runs (as with any duel clutch system i.e; Porsche new PDK system) as indicated by a blinking red light on the dash. This was ignored by a handful of ABUSERS that made consecutive runs and have a leaking tranaxle because of ABUSE. If your car is overheating would you pull over or keep driving?

dude why do u tell people to check auto blog. wouldnt u rather hear what the manufacturers said about the launch control?
it states that the launch control needs time to cool down between runs and excessive launching with failure to let the system cool down could cause transmission problems.
and if u knew anything about manufacturers, they ALL say they are not liable for any mechanical failures due to speed contests. so using launch control = speed contest
donisthabomb1 3 years ago 4
Umm..."dude"..the autoblog report has comments FROM NISSAN HEAD EXECUTIVES.

MeLikeGoFast 3 years ago
u've never heard of porsche and ferrari voiding warranties? lmfao. because most people who buy ferraris dont really race them. the GTR was an affordable car and most rich kids dont kno shit but to continuously abuse the launch control.
even in the GTR warranty it states that the launch control needs to be cooled down. seriously, go blow a diff on ANY car company from excessive launches and see if they repair your shit.
donisthabomb1 3 years ago
Ferrari and porsche host racing events for their clients.
Ive destroyed many trans, diffs and have never been asked if I took the traction control off or not.
How about jsut admitting that Nissan fucked up on the launch control no warranty thing?
MeLikeGoFast 3 years ago
Well in Japan and Europe the GTR did just fine over there. if u read up on it, u'd know that excessive use of the launch control causes problems in the tranaxle. u must allow it to cool down, just like launching cars at high RPMs sometimes blows certain parts of your car. when magazines do tests, they actually launch the car 5 or 6 times and then average the numbers out. i didnt see a problem there. maybe rich kids got the car for their bday and went out trying to get 0-60 in 3.2 EVERY TIME
donisthabomb1 3 years ago
Amen to that. If GT-R can't run launch control without voiding the warranty then it should not have been put on the car to begin with. It is a cheatis means to accomplish an end that they haven't truely earned (They run it past its breaking point to get there). The day that the car can do the numbers and not royally fuck itself up, then they have a nice vehicle.
shbycbra427 3 years ago
Doesn't it say that using launch control even a single time voids the warranty? If so, you could use it once, let it cool properly and never use it again and they still don't stand behind any problems. There goes your whole argument right out the window.
