  • Why is this labeled "Americas top handling car competition" when its a Jap car? The GTR is awesome but if this is left open to any car in the world, since it appears so, they're many super cars that would make the GTR look like a silly high school girl car....

  • hes stupid as hell, that car wasnt made to drift... thats y its AWD, and thats why it gets violent when it gets lose, cuz its not made to get lose, and the dude was losing power in race mode cuz he was trying to E brake the shit out of it, what a dumb ass, that car is litteraly so perfectly race tuned a kid who just got his liscence could go all out on it. its my dream car but he made it look bad, and its not

  • The Viper ACR will rip this car into pieces

  • @ellisfreedman HA no

  • @altimgamr

    Look up lap times homo.

  • @ellisfreedman if a ligher 600hp car with a truck engine (8.5L) manages to beat the old GTR, you gotta be proud son!!!!!

  • @ellisfreedman ahhh i dont think so lol

  • @BMXeon4life It did. I'm sorry to inform you.

  • the guy says that sliding is the funniest thing, if he is a racing car driver i think he should know that SLIDING MAKES U LOSE GRIP AND SPEED and i think that car is made for beating the shit out of any car on a race track, watch the video of that car on top gears race track and see it crushing all american cars (not that i dont love'em) and lots of european super and hypercars and it cost half as much as any european supercar and is BETTER BUILT AND BETTER ENGENIERD than most super cars.

  • I thought the Nissan GT-R was a JAPANESE car which was licensed to Nissan. Nissan is a JAPANESE car company. Dumbass Americans... -_-

  • @GranTurismo360 Who said that Nissan is not Japanese?! :/

  • Sliding the most fun thing you can do in a car???? I can think of a couple things that are a bit more stimulating.....

  • @XR8xSHOCKWAVE like a burnout right? (jk)

  • im sorry but the facts are that the Z-06 is a much faster car than the GTR on the streets and top speed, the ZR-1 is much faster in all areas, i wonder how much nissan paid these guys to say this

  • Ey hoodyman88, what, you got that line from Dr. Dre's "Stranded on Death Row" on Kurupt's verse huh...I'm suppose to be scared now. Please...

  • Who are you? I was talking to Omid11, but I can meet you in Crenshaw & Slauson if you want. I know the area good. Whut up? When? I'm off work right now.

  • since the nissan is american....

  • For having a 3.8L twin turbo engine, 485hp it's a lot. I bet you if Nissan engineers would've put an engine with a higher displacement like a 5.0L or a 6.0L, the GT-R would've eaten the ZR1 already

  • @eldom20 keep dreaming 

  • @eldom20 Yes but that WAS impressive b/c now the next-gen Porsche 991 GT3 will get a 4.0L naturally aspirated engine flat-6 producing 480hp. Anyway, the only thing that ticks me off is that it's going to be behind the rear axel (where there will be more fishtailing at the corners), not in front of it and behind the passenger compartment.

  • You talk all that shit but scared to say that shit face to face in front of me...Come on little turd...I'm serious about meeting up and backing up what you say. I live in L.A. and we can meet in the Echo Park area near the downtown area. If you feel uncomfortable we can meet anywhere in the L.A. area to see if you can really back up what you say. A good old fashioned quarter-mile race to see if a Civic can take out my Z. I'll put money on top of it. See if you can ask your mom for money.

  • @350z33hr MEET ME ON CRENSHAW and SLAUSON cuz

  • Omid11, my new nickname for you is Turd11. You take the bus and probably is a pimple-faced 16 year old who wished to have any type of car at this point. Oh, and by the way we can also meet up anywhere you like in the L.A. area so I can smoke you're turd ass and take your bus pass away from you.

  • Lets see what you got... I live on L.A. and we can meet in Echo Park to see what you can do ounk bitch. Oh, I forgot you take the bus. Oh, and we are not talking about Civics and 350Z's, and if you really think a Civic can take out a 350Z, you're a stupid ass turd that don't know anything about cars...

  • Please get this DumbFuck outta here and get a real driver!

    It dont matter how many champoinships he won. He is terrible at testing and comparing with his bias!

    This guy is such a moron! ATTESA-ETS AWD is the best AWD in the world and has always been 2 steps ahead of any other AWD System. Leaving the rest of the world trying to duplicate the technology.

  • Dumbass retard! He says "As a racecar driver"

    Then he says "Rmode prevent it from sliding"

    U MORON UR NOT SUPPOSE TO B SLIDING AROUND!

    Anyone who knows me will agree i would destroy this idiot in a GTR at Seca!

    And this is the same Douche who got a better lap time in the new ZR1 with Traction control ON!

    What a bitch! Always an American bias... What a bitch!

  • Randy is so smooth and the car is so smooth and the cameras outside confuse me because this looks like someone is playing their PS3.

  • this datsun is the biggest ricers wet dream evar.

  • @Topfueltrooper haha our forklift is a datsun, its fully equiped with racing seat racing steering wheel, high horse power exhaust muffler, spoiler, and dont forget the neon lights!!!! we call it the ricer lift

  • @hockey4ransom Maybe but thats doesnt make the Nissan GTR a ricer.....

  • @Topfueltrooper Let me rephrase to your small mind what a Ricer is. A Ricer is a person who makes unnecessary modifications to their car to give a false impression of high performance, but not actually capable of it. Any cheap car that has been upgraded with cheap ridiculous aftermarket parts (exhaust, body kits, nitrous, spoilers, speakers, lights, stickers) in an attempt to make it look faster.

  • Nice car , super fast ,I didn't expect rx8 beat gt-r in CAR & DRIVER 2009 handling competition. only porsche & lotus beat rx8. Like rx8 owner I know rx8 is great in handling  but is only $30,000 vs $80,000. & ingnore those racist people that only think keep them alive is hate. I love cars & give credits to every one . check my car pics "RX8 MX5 MY SPORT CARS"

  • motortrend ,BITCHEZ !!

  • Comment removed

  • The SPIRRA GT460 which uses both a turbo and supercharger to produce around 700 hp...lets race both cars!! :)

  • @omid11 lol this car is the sexiest car,my god u suck

  • WRONG

  • Whoa whoa whoa...Since when Wrestlers Wrestle on Carpet? Fail on the Driver!

  • scandinavian flick ¬.¬

    not fling

  • The R34 was swEEEEEEtt. The R35 is wAAAAck!!!!

  • my god! could they have made an uglier car? not to mention stupidest warranty regulations

  • @omid11 This car looks INSANE, it's fucking sexy as shit.

  • @omid11 ugly car?

    fuck you have shit taste.

  • my shit on your mom's face looks better than the r35!

  • @omid11 So you do actually find literal shit good looking. Fuck. Knew it.

    No wonder why you dont like the R35.

    And maybe you'd like it better if it was my shit on your face. Since you seem to like shit so much.

  • SHIT ON R35 - MAKE IT LOOK BETTER

  • @omid11 Yar, hence your obsession with shit.

    Im sure if you had a girlfriend and some one shits on her you couldn't resist.

  • I love shit it smells good want to eat the peanuts in mine? 

  • @omid11 ...far out

  • Why does the R35 suck so much?

  • @omid11 I dunno, maybe your just retarded.

  • gtr sucks

  • @omid11 how does it suck

  • @omid11 how does it suck

  • @omid11, yea you probably take the bus and don't have a car to begin with. You're just a dumb a** wanting attention and a hater. Keep on typing away in the corner of your room talking all that junk. Get a girlfriend so you can stop hating on the GTR. Look at yourself in the mirror and you will find a TURD, you loser!

  • 350z33hr - 350? Really, 350? honda vtec fucks you up Damn 350? WHAT A TOOK HAHA

  • WTF?? America's best handling car? How stoned were they, that's a Japanese car, I think it has something to do with the fact that America thinks it's the only country in the world. :(

  • @3XICS they simply meant in america or available in america not american per say

  • @3XICS - Foreign investment. R35 are made in the USA as well.

  • So what the man is trying to say is that the GtR sucks ass lol

  • nissan is to fucking retarted to offer a 6spd manual.

  • they compared this with the zr1 in handling and the zr1 was better so yea......

  • i like the GTR more than american cars because it looks better (OPINION)

  • He keeps saying that the Gtr and Japanese cars have more work to do in stabilty and drifting.

    Last time i checked american cars drift constantly and have not yet recived any recalition of having any stablity control in the so called race/track cars.

    Typical Racist america's

  • America's best handling car? More of THE WORLD'S best handling car. Maybe 2nd best (when compared to a Lotus Exige)

  • uhhh can anyone say Viper GTS ACR??????

  • even at race mod its not a drift car... that sucks

  • @dinhocali I think its supposed to grip more than drift, unlike previous skyline/GTR's. This car is supposed to be user friendly for anyone buying it. It is very intentional.

  • didnt they say the GT500 has the same handling?

  • Why don't these guys just say it, they think Asian car makers are inferior because they are racist.

  • @KeepingModern so true

  • Lol? They liked it...

  • Uhm... Huh?

    What in the world does racism have to do with cars? And what is good cars in your opinion?

  • @KeepingModern what do you mean? They didn't say a single negative thing about the car. They loved it.

  • @KeepingModern racist? hmmm that must be why every single nation on earth imposes unfair taxes on american car companies when we try to sell our cars overseas that our government doesn't do to them here, or why I've been called a "white devil pig" over and over again by japanese people for defending american cars, or how even automotive professional in Europe are xenophobic american bashing idiots that will use any unfair way they can to make us look bad. Americans are held to an unfair standard

  • @SauceCaptain and why do u think that is... what goes around comes around

  • @KeepingModern I don't like the GT-R because it's ugly. But I love R34.

  • @wildbloodydragon ewww shut up lol

  • @BMXeon4life lol fagggg...R34 is the shit.

  • @wildbloodydragon r34 is the shit, but u cant say the gt-r is fucking beast, i love the whole skyline family, but gt-r is my favorite

  • @BMXeon4life R35 is definitely the best one but I don't like how it looks, so R34 is still my fave.

  • I'd like it more, if it had a manual package... The interior and exterior are phenomenal, and it will catch anyones eye.

  • breaking the rear end loose is for noobs.

    you may as well have a 70 year old lady talking about this car, she would show as much subject knowledge. just proves that money doesnt make drivers.

  • GTR does rock. Amazing auto.

  • as much as i love Japanese cars i love my american cars as well( Dodge Viper, Ford GT, Corvette, g8 and plenty others

    i just cant stand people who bash a car just because of what country its from, i used to with korean cars but lately hyundai and kia have been on a roll with their styling and theyve gotten better in the quality department compared to what it used to be

    if your a car lover who just loves cars and not blinded by patriotism or antipatrioism give me a thumbs up

    btw GTR rocks

  • @xXManhattanProjectXx

    thumbs up

  • @xXManhattanProjectXx Goddamn right man, I feel 100% the same way. People who bash a car based on country of origin are typically very ignorant and of a racist nature.

  • @NancyPelosi1954 ignorance is just an endless cycle

    they just go off spreading there messages never knowing the real facts

    and once another person points out their ignorance they retaliate cause they now they're wrong but they are to afraid to admit it

    an ignorant person will never admit they are wrong because once they do they will realize they are the ones responsible for all the hate in the world and the thought of that is enough to drive a man mad so they will never acknowledge that fact

  • @xXManhattanProjectXx Amen to that! Your so right! I mean I feel the same way, I used to hate on Korean cars too hahaha, until the Hyundai Genisis came, that was cool. But judging a car from where it's origins is just wrong, it's RACIST. Keep spreading your word, and hopefully, the racing scene will be a little more tolerable and less hateful.

  • @Racr4Lyfe thanks it means alot and yeah my goal is to rid todays car culture of hatred and prejudice

  • @xXManhattanProjectXx too bad you can't thumbs up a million times

  • @xXManhattanProjectXx its so nice to see a non-ignorant comment on youtube!

  • @xXManhattanProjectXx G8 is Australian, haha

  • @xXManhattanProjectXx Korean cars like Hyundai and Kia are notorious for cloning German rivals. And you're trying to say that's Honorable ?

    naw you actualy got it wrong, if we "love cars" then we should bash pieces of shit copiers that have no dignity and class.

    Bro......... just drive your wannabe-Mercedes Kia Almanti...... and please shut the fuck up......

    btw Viper ACR's are epic, GTRs are over rated.......

  • @Howie262 lol i NEVER said anything of Korean cars being honorable in the way they copy styling cues of everybody else, no in fact i cant stand them for that, all i said was that they have improved overall since their early years, not saying they're great im just saying better than they used to be

    and btw i drive a 2010 Toyota Avalon and a just recently overhauled 2002 Camry V6, i know not a great selection but hey they were handme downs

    PS the Viper is on my Top 10 car list behind an Ascari

  • @xXManhattanProjectXx well honestly I gotta say - always hated American cars. always viewed them as gas guzzlers with no handling - but they are catching up

  • its not very expensive, i wanna buy it..

  • I really like the car but the interor just dosent do it for me. The exterior looks wonderful though

  • If you have ever been in a GT-R, you would know that the interior is actually really really good. the HUD is awesome! seats and dash are very good looking. comfortable car.

  • i have never been in one but it looks actually not that bad just not very luxurious. Also in my opinion, i think there is just too much going on on the dash and the cockpit. i prefer simpler yet luxurious approaches to interiors. besides that the GTR is a great sportscar

  • well yeah. you dont buy a GT-R having luxury in mind. lol. but as a sports car, i think it is 1 of the more luxurious sports cars on the road. but it is a different kind of luxury then that of a Mercedes or Bently, etc...

  • i would think a r35, type 25 litchfield, or evo ten fq400 would have the most handling potential stock or modified. my .02 im sure all the others are great tho. my camaro is a boat that thing aint meant for handling

  • Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca! Right?!?! Best Racing Track EveR

  • lets be realistic, if you had a 100k would you buy a vette. only a faggot would

  • i would get a viper ACR

  • if i had 100k i would save up 20k more to get the G-TR spec-v when it comes out next year

  • erm spec v is about 160+...

  • oh dang, nissan stepped up the price from when they first showed the car, and now its 170, but my point remains, i would chose that.

  • its out alrite u dumb fuck? but its only avalible in japan rite now, and it all depends on nissan next year

  • dude, you cock smoking gypsy...not every car is good...look at the ford taurus, or any American Ford for that matter...we need to respect cars that actually deserve respect.

    learn your shit bozo

  • the beauty of the car world is the diversity of cars.

    got to appreciate every single details that makes unique a car.

    stop arguing :) american cars got their stuff,

    japanese too :)

    i love japanese cars , because of my taste, :) not because im supporting terrorists :) like

    JesusChristRulesYOU said :)

    come on :) if you are watching this video you like the GTR :)

  • Woah stop fighting :/

    Both JDM & American motors are great cars

    I'd kill for either a ZR1 or a GTR

    However I like JDM for there exclusivity but

    you cant redo something like the Mustang either...

  • oh and my bad about the typos...i was riled-up about you fucking tards.

    *mouth* *by*

  • Oh and by the way strider...the GT-R is a "paddle shifted" car, not a slap shift. Slap shifting is in reference to a Sequential gearbox.

    FAIL.

  • Japanese cars are made much better, handle better, look better and last much longer. I drive an '02 Subaru WRX with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder, yes a 2.0 4 cylinder and I can beat the shit out of 4.0 liter or a 4.6 liter mustang. Oh and bye the way, the Z06 goes 201mph, the fastest production car goes 257mph. learn your shit before open your fucking math jackass

    FAIL.

  • you fucking idiot. the fastest car isnt the z06 and american cars are shit. the only reason they're reliable is cos they have no equipment to go wrong. they are as luxurious as my toe. terrorims? wtf is that? just fuck off religious nut job

  • Dude, you're a fucking idiot. American cars are notoriously un-reliable and and poorly made. In American cars designers think that the bigger the motor, the more the liters, the faster it goes. That in turn makes for completely useless cars.

  • lol i think this comment is satirical in nature and the poster is just kidding. it's too dumb to be true for even an American Jesus freak.

  • WTF??? are u even concious u sound like a fuckin dick head...

  • well motor trend is an american company and the last time i checked america followed the rules of capatalism, which means that they follow which cars are SELLING, why do you think all the american car companies are going out of business if they have better cars? and alot of people have already said this but the veyron is the fastest street legal, but it doesnt matter caues my supra can beat the SHIT out of a z06.

  • That car is garbage i mean why the fuck would they make it a slapshift

  • japan the number 1

  • JAPAN ALWAYS BE ON TOP... lol dats for shure cus amarican companys might be makeing cars that drink gas...but now they have to join companys from europe to continue there buisnes... PRETTY SAD lol..

  • ya all funny.. "like" -you misspeled that, and use spellchecker.. actually i am only rock here.. and do you know why? i can speak even Czech!! hej?! now, how many of you can speak Czech? hej?! no one!! Tak vy curaci zasrany bezte uz do hajzlu a neserte tady z tema vasema picovinama, protoze, kdyz my jsme meli auta tak vy jste jeste jezdily na konech.. a to jen nekteri.. vy vemena!! zdur!!

  • The problem with good performance American cars is that u need to be a very good driver to get the best of them...

  • No, the problem is they aren't designed well enough to go round corners, with a few exceptions, of course.

  • exceptions like the mustang, camaro, cts, cobalt ss, corvette,viper, G8, XLR... just to start... those are 09 models... if u want me to dig back just let me know

  • since when is nissan american? lol americans have shit muscle cars they go just straight!!

  • ummm the Dodge Viper acr is a contenter in this same video and the zr-1 beat the gtr at Nuremberg i love the gt-r but american cars can turn corners

  • i said AMERICAN MUSCLE cars

  • So. What is wrong with that.

  • The Dodge Viper ACR is the second fastest road legal car to be on the nurbringring ring. The first is Radical which no one has heard of.

  • Ive heard of it, they just posted a 6:45 lap time.

  • damn, but who would buy that kind of car. Dont they make only like 2 a year.

  • They make much more than that, the factory supports 5 different classes of race car and the are sold in over 20 contries worldwide.

  • i dont really get what you are trying to prove?

  • hang on.. radical is a cart with big engine and ugly shaped yellow shell.. that can do anyone, its light, so you doesnt need so much engeneering, just some wide wheels and that ugly flat shell which will create downforce for you.. and you say that is exported worldwide? hm.. i doubt that.. maybe some rich kidies in states bought that for their sunday sundee.. that is not a "world" mate.. :)))

  • no not 2 a year, its build by hand, may sound slow but they do make a lot per year, not everyone gets to buy one but if your a nissan lover, racer, and have the money you might just buy one who knows!! just like my boss, every one that worked for him loves cars, we all went to the nissan dealer just to go look at the new GTR and surprisingly the week after that my boss went back and purchased it like he's rich! XP

  • Are you an idiot? I was talking about Radical not the GTR, I know Nissan only make 1500 a year for the US. If you had read my other comments, I was talking about the Radical S8 being the faster than the Dodge Viper ACR around the Nurburgring and I was talking about how the ACR is more available as opposed to the Radical and because of this, the ACR technically is the fastest street legal car on the Nurburgring.

  • i though the porsche GT2 was the record holder with 7.15.. GT2 is a stock production car

  • How far down the comment list did you go just to say that?

  • How does a 22 year old Romanian with probably no car understand what "ALL" American muscle cars are about.. Furthermore, that's not all America makes. I'm not for or against the American brands. Most importantly, I don't stereotype cars or brands. Every car stands on its own by it's numbers. And the last time checked Two American cars had the best OEM time around the ring.

    The only thing you have on your page is a video game, and it's shows in your comment...... Go back to your game,

  • americans dont stay no.1 always...like the ROmans used to be no.1 b4 we all were born...the world is changing so do others...

  • another meanigless fight..alwyas american this american that american no.1 other countries no.2 ...well get over it....americans is dictating every living thing in the world even they try to compare the best poorest man on earth...common...childish meaningless talks aint get you to no where...

  • bs americas best handling car is the zr1. thats why it gets better times at the handling benchmark track. (nurburgring)

  • check it....viper ACR has the lower time...

  • hey i love the american muscle cars new and old but this car is HOT!!!!

  • That's another thing, people should base their arguments on facts, not meaningless crap they pull out of their butts.

  • i agree with lokrat2 it seems that he backs up all of his points unlike you jap crap, foreign car lovers, un-American shit hole bastards who just sit there on their computers all day and praise shit cars that arent even quality. corvettes are the way to go, besides majority of you ARE living in America so at least stop putting down our shit

  • Sorry, i like american cars..... but please quality???????? corvette???????? their made from plastic.

    I'd still love one, but compared to a car from europe, quality is bare minamal.

    And lol.... yep the majoraty of the world are living in the U.S, the rest being in england.... this world is getting worse every day.

  • Learn to Spell before you embarrass yourself on YOUTUBE

  • lol.... maybe common sense would make a good life lesson for you as it seams your lacking it.

    Your spelling is oh so amazing after all.

    And as for insulting people over youtube like you just "Tried" to do... it makes you look like a retard.

    Plus for one to be embarassed over the internet would mean that said person needs a little self esteam.

    Spelling and grammer wont get you "Everywere" in life.... others have diferent skills.

    -Paul

  • On your First comment : their should be they're. minamal? did you mean minimal?

    majoraty? you mean majority????

    Your second comment, you still mispell...

    Now.... Who is the retard.... Next time you try to reply on someone's comment, use a dictionary or a spellchecker.... RETARD!

  • My exact previus words

    "Spelling and grammer wont get you "Everywere" in life.... others have diferent skills."

    And again, insultin a person over the internet is retarted....

    I make my living [ a good living] as a machanic, and do some enduro events for fun raise's. I'v never had a complaint about spelling and grammer, only praise for doing a good job.

    So as you can probably tell, your so called "insults" are about as insulting as calling a man a 2 legged head.

  • just trying to be friendly, its spelled self-esteem haha

  • You needn't be embarrassed to be an American.

  • there is no point in trying to compare a corvette and a skyline one is stright line speed and the other is all handleing.

  • There is a lot of hate for the GTR. Hating on a car because its Japanese is fucking childish. Same goes for the idiots who are hating on muscle cars. You don't have to like both but you should respect them. And for anyone who says the Z06 is better than the GTR, why is it that they are comparing the GTR to a ZR-1 rather than a Z06 then?

  • Ok look at when the vid was made.

    Next, you are like a fucking dog chasing his own tail.

    BTW, if nissan makes 330hp with 3.7ltr they could probably make 350hp with 3.8ltr. The same hp per liter of the 350z the z06 SHOULD have 600+hp. So dont attack nissan for their N/A engines looool.

    You are just a total moron.

  • no the skyline started in 1958 the first gtr was 1969 i beleive

  • What's this "America's best handling car" shit? It's Japanese, make it without the twin-turbos, it's an Altima. Put it up against a Z06.

  • Nurburgring Times:

    7:26.70 2010 Nissan GT-R

    7:42.99 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06

    If you want to see the GT-R get beaten by a car in its price range you'll be sadly let down, you'd have to go up to the ZR-1, Enzo or Pagani Zonda

    Japan FTW!

  • No, actually, the Z06 may not corner as well but it's faster and is definitely a better car. I've really never seen a 1953 GTR also, have you?

  • lol No it can't corner as fast, doesn't get up to 60mph as fast, doesn't have 1/10th the technology, is made by a bankrupt failing company, but yeah its a fantastic car, thank you for showing me the truth in my moment of craziness =)

  • lool gud comment

  • Make the z06 without 7 liters and what is it? A heavy pos. Take the zr1's sc away and what do you get? a base car.

    At least thats what you would get if we used your biased and thoughtless logic.

  • Uhh, how do you make a Z06 without 7 liters, cut the block in half? The LS7 is the Z06's engine. What if Nissan didn't make the GTR have the displacement it has, without twin-turbos? Also, what if the Corvette didn't have a transmission or wheels? Then, oh my god, the GTR would be A LOT faster.

  • *puts hand to forehead*

  • strong response...

  • You will never understand. I'm really not interested in wasting the time to try and explain it to you.

  • Ther is nothing to understand if you are going to publicly post stupid comments. I'll give you this, it was hard to argue against you. Maybe it was because you had no good points...at all.

  • maybe gtr not the fastest car.but handling + suspension + quality + price = no 1

  • he was saying about the understeer of the skyline,

    saying that he sort of over corrected and four wheeled drifted around the corners. i'd like to let u know thats the way the cars is quickest. point the four wheels to the exit of the corners and floor it. thats the quickest way to drive a skyline.

  • want that car soo bad

    <
