@tiagoko1 Yeah I agree with you on the tires. But it was my understanding that hotter temperatures ( say 85+ degrees) could lower the output of horsepower due to the gas evaporating before it has time to reach full combustion in turn reducing output. But at cooler temperatures (say around 65-75 degrees) the gas can reach full combustion giving you more HP output.
@Clatik It doesn't effect engine output that much but effects but effects largely tyre grip and the grip of the road, and from 0 to 60 every bit counts!
The real numbers for this car are 0 to 60 in 2.89 and 1/4 mile in 11.1 if i drive this car i bet i can get a 10.9 and 2.8 flat considering i weight 120 pounds and i do consider myself as a very good driver
@yallo420 i bet you can't. Like the under comments you could possibly go for 2.8 if all the conditions are almost perfect. Besides the gtr in this video is just a bone stock. Even if you're as good as the stig, you still need to have the car tuned. I bet the the gtr here is not even flashed.
motorweek need to do their research better!!!!! And give real advice,ive driven the new r35 and it doesnt "clunk" or feel "clunky" if you have it in the soft setting its quite nice and reasonable to drive daily. in r mode its a bit stiff but great feedback and feel. i really dont think these guys know much about the cars they test!!!! well at least the gtr anyway!!! gives other reputable journalists a bad name
@riorin8829 Last time you called us stupid Americans we burnt the smiles off your faces.JK.I do agree this is a terrible ET for a stock 2012 GTR.Hell.Even without launch they go 3.4-3.3. 95F car should still get to 60 quick though trap speed in the 1/4 would be down slightly with the higher DA.I've been considering a C6ZO6 for a long time but the 2012 GTR was a big leap forward & has me considering my first non American performance car. 2013,545hp will be a high 10sec car stock IMHO
one american says something awful then all of sudden all americans are labeled the same. come on we all know the GTR is great doesn't mean one bozo should represent a social group.
BADASS! simply awesome. like the tuning upgrades. watch this car get into the 10s in the future if nissan keeps upgrading. Great Job Nissan now get to work on the more affordable Z car.
Are you people retarded??? NOBODY can get 2.9 out of this car on a 95F/35C day. Try to understand things before you start bashing people. Once YOU own one, you can install some bigger intercoolers and see what YOU can manage.
this car has 2 turbos. when the temperature is hot, warm air moves into the engine which results in significant reduction in horsepower. turbocharged cars may lose up to 70 or 80 hp because of high humidity
MotorWeek ashamed on you missed the whole point of this car and Godzilla Nissan GTR the giant killer with one cylinder down it could beat your numbers...MotorWeek = Fail....Get healthy drivers also with track skills < 300lbs
he clearly said it was 95 deg. the track temp is probably over 105 deg, it's clear that it would play a role on the turbos and engine with that kind of heat. so for all you gtr stan-boys, not every test is going to be the same, not all track conditions are going to be the same. hell even the octane isn't the same throughout the country. so quit crying over a review of a car you will probable never ever drive.
i heard the engine is handmade so i think thats another reason why it varies cuz ive seen 2.7. i hate how this guy sounds like hes tellin me bout somethin i won on wheel of fortune
I agree with them on the heavy feeling. I drove a stock 2009 MY GT-R and not only was the steering heavy with only moderate feedback but you really could feel the weight. It did stick and you could really whip it around, but I can only imagine if a person were used to something like a new 458 or Elise that the GTR would feel more like a low awd sport utility with sticky rubber than a back road dance partner.
@tom11zz884 I don't think MW is lying, the temps for the day they tested the car was 95 degrees. If you have driven cars during the summer time and during the winter/fall you can feel the car making more power due to the cooler or colder weather. I recently saw a review of the porsche 911 gt2rs and the car was tested in cali while it was almost 100 degrees out the car ran like shit, but they later tested the car at night in the cooler weather and the car ran like the beast it is.
track altitude, humidity, temperature all make a difference esp in boosted cars. All you folks here should know this. 2.9 0-60mph is possible yes but also is 3.5+ all depending on conditions.
These guys couldnt launch the BMW 1 series M either. I noticed they didnt mention that the Nissan is all wheel drive. Am I right? I agree with you guys about how annoying this guys voice is. His emphasis on words in the middle of his sentences drives me crazy. He didnt do this when he first started this show.
MotorWeek needs to be ashamed of themselves for flat out lying on the 0 to 60 time on this car like that....I can see going from 2.9 seconds to 3.1...but going all the way from 2.9 to 3.5 is flat out lying.
And the sad part is everybody knows that they are lying..lol
@tom11zz884 Youre an idiot. Did you hear a thing they said? They specifically state that their test is off the official numbers, and that it was 95 degrees. Stop being a little whiny fanboy and learn how cars actually work and perform in the real world before you start claiming that a reputable source is flat out lying to sabotage your dream car. They have better things to do, you cock.
@tom11zz884 Are you deaf? The commentator clearly states why it's slower than Nissan's claim. 2.9 sec is under IDEAL conditions. You know what ideal means? /rant :D
@tom11zz884 Haha, just stating facts. All are screaming "Dumbass driver", "they're LYING", etc., when it's obvious why the car ran slower. All you have to do is listen. It's easy to understand. If you've ever been to a dragstrip, I'm sure everybody who's been crying MW is lying hasn't, you will see a lot of icepacks on intake manifolds, spraying NOS on the IC, methanol, etc. It's to cool the air intake temp. But hey, please continue to believe that an unbiased magazine like MotorWeek is lying.
@tom11zz884 Hahaha love it, says the one who thinks that the GT-R runs a 2.9 under all conditions, no matter temperature, track prep, production model, driver, tires, etc., etc. Please don't reply if you have nothing objective and fact based to say to the initial argument. :D
@ZuuL1555 You are not the brightest kid on the block are you..lol
The point i've been making was that every other automobile reviewer got 2.9 seconds out of the car, and they were not talking about how it was a hot day, track prep, production model..etc.
Motorweek, which has a history of getting low test times on every car they test obviously are doing something wrong in the 0 to 60 tests compared to everyone else.
@tom11zz884 HAHAHA! You're just being funny, right? "they were not talking about how it was a hot day" Again, are you deaf? The commentator clearly states why it's slower than Nissan's claim: IT WAS A 95F DEGREE DAY! Meaning track temp was 100F+. If you actually watched MotorWeek, you would know that they race at the 75/80 Dragway in MD - def not the best/fastest track in the US. How do I know? I've raced there myself. I'll disregard your name calling, it just proves my points. The end. I'm out.
@ZuuL1555 Who gives a rat's ass if you raced there or not fool, you probably drive like those non-driving fucks at Motorweek who can't even get 2.9 out of the GTR...lol
@tom11zz884 2.9 Seconds under absolutely perfect conditions. Track, temperature, driver and proper altitude/environment. Not everything is black and white dumbass. It was a 95F day outside heck you can see the haze plus who knows what the temp was with the humidity, another factor.
@ZuuL1555 And thats why more profound, unbiased sources like motortrend, road and track, edmund's insideline and individual owners get far better 1/4 mile times and 0-60 times than motorweek. Hmmm....
@hard2reality Even the 2009-2011 Nissan GT-R does 0-60 in 3.3-3.4s and there are numerous of auto reviews magazines that had the stock 2012 Nissan GT-R 0-60 in 2.9s.
@hard2reality Are you deaf? The commentator clearly states why it's slower than Nissan's claim. 2.9 sec is under IDEAL conditions. You know what ideal means? /rant :D
I plan to purchase this car someday. Currently I'm using Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace University" DVD series to help me acheive my goals. "Live like no other" so that later you can "Live like no other", he says. If you share my passion but feel this is out of reach, please' come join me and lets "GTR" done ! Target date: 10-12 years...CASH !!
Thank you for the most detailed report on how this car sounds inside the car when driving and how it handles.... Other details about the standing still start lag.... Those details are so valuable. Since I have been a fan of V-8 530+ HP plus high torque... Such as with high output Ford Mustangs around the 2008-2009 year era... (Ford dealer did not allow test drives of the one I was looking at).. Still nice to know what is what with the six cylinder machines.... I know for sure I still like
Why all the complaining about the zero to 60 time. They tell you right in the video that it was 95 degrees the day of the test. That will slow down any car. This car is awesome.
What a fucking joke. Motortrend got continuous, 11.2 @ 122mph 1/4s and 2.9 0-60s all day. This is why your show doesn't get ratings similar to Motortrend.
some cool down time is required, and junky nissan wants $90k for this turd that has what ? 10 to 20 missing coolers ? lololololol
engine itself sounds like kitchen appliance - hahahahahahaha this shit ain't worth more than $5k (pos tranny costs $20k LOL!)
poor datsun fanboys still think this junk is a supercar, some cool down time is required before you muffin cakes start coming at me exploding and overheating ROTFLMAO!!!!!
So ok! its not the best looking car i myself love the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4,
but it's expensive v12 6,498 cc 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of around 345 km/h 214 mph CO2 emissions 398 g/km, well the rich can afford it beside the service cost. so The GTR is a great car for it's cost in all aspects.
@noelborg i agree, not only the money but you get in this car and you'll feel like in a actual car .. get into a lambo and you'll like you're in a spaceship (which is not bad, but just a lil too much for driving around the city).
3.8-liter twin-turbocharged 24-valve V6 Horsepower – 530 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm Torque – 448 lb-ft of torque @ 5,200 rpm Cylinder bore x stroke – 95.5 x 88.4 mm Compression ratio – 9.0:1 Top speed – 196 mph Maximum engine speed – 7,000 rpm Emissions – 50 State LEV2/ULEV
For the price of this car Japs has all reason to be proud cause it makes few super cars with huge engines suffer, beside lower road tax insurance and co2 , and many can afford to buy.
Funny is!! i seen 100s of Nissan car testing from allover the world and this documentary is the only one that said the engine sounds like a kitchen appliance,
and lots of sound coming from the back. that really put me of to buy one, now i have to test this for my self other wise not buying.
Nissan Claims it gets from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds guys lol but dont think your ALWAYS gonna go 0-60 in 2.9 seconds every single time, theres other factors involved. In this case it was heat. Relax, no ones trying to bash this car, i honestly dont think anyone can.
This car is not only legendary and iconic, it's super in every way. 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, 530 horsepower, all at $90K AND still achieves a mpg rating of 16 city, 23 highway? No matter what the haters say, no other stock car on this planet can get anywhere close to all those numbers at once.
most american reviewers say it goes 0 to 60 in 2.9, so i dont get why you even mentioned "americans haters" in your post. this just clearly shows you hate americans, so you're the hater. i have seen many gtrs on american soil already. we love this car
Not sure why 4 seat cars are compared to 2 seaters. Its all about 'practicality'. I live in Toronto. Rough winters. I like I can pick up 3 friends in my car and drive to the grocery store in a blizzard with 2 feet of snow and jam a pile of groceries in my trunk. Not many supercars can do that. Vette's a great car if its your 'second' car. Its not very practical if its your only vehicle.
swirl marks through out.

@hard2reality Even the 2009-2011 Nissan GT-R does 0-60 in 3.3-3.4s and there are numerous of auto reviews magazines that had the stock 2012 Nissan GT-R 0-60 in 2.9s.

I plan to purchase this car someday. Currently I'm using Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace University" DVD series to help me acheive my goals. "Live like no other" so that later you can "Live like no other", he says. If you share my passion but feel this is out of reach, please' come join me and lets "GTR" done ! Target date: 10-12 years...CASH !!

Thank you for the most detailed report on how this car sounds inside the car when driving and how it handles.... Other details about the standing still start lag.... Those details are so valuable. Since I have been a fan of V-8 530+ HP plus high torque... Such as with high output Ford Mustangs around the 2008-2009 year era... (Ford dealer did not allow test drives of the one I was looking at).. Still nice to know what is what with the six cylinder machines.... I know for sure I still like

So ok! its not the best looking car i myself love the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4,
but it's expensive v12 6,498 cc 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of around 345 km/h 214 mph CO2 emissions 398 g/km, well the rich can afford it beside the service cost. so The GTR is a great car for it's cost in all aspects.

Nissan Claims it gets from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds guys lol but dont think your ALWAYS gonna go 0-60 in 2.9 seconds every single time, theres other factors involved. In this case it was heat. Relax, no ones trying to bash this car, i honestly dont think anyone can.

Not sure why 4 seat cars are compared to 2 seaters. Its all about 'practicality'. I live in Toronto. Rough winters. I like I can pick up 3 friends in my car and drive to the grocery store in a blizzard with 2 feet of snow and jam a pile of groceries in my trunk. Not many supercars can do that. Vette's a great car if its your 'second' car. Its not very practical if its your only vehicle.
Make sense.
