Re: EVO magazine: Z06 faster than GTR

For example:

Car A stops from 100mph (the GTR is an auto and they put their clutch foot over the brake thus stopping at exactly 100mph)

Car B stops from 104mph

Obviously, car A would have the advantage when timing 100-0.
That wouldn't be 0-100-0, then, which is what was presented. It's easy for them to trim the data (they were using a VBOX) for any extra braking (or acceleration) done above 100 mph.

In any case, take out the reaction time nonsense and the Z06 does the 0-100-0 quicker than GT-R.
