Re: Hertz Corvette vs Nissan GTR

How does a GTR get smoked by a stock LS3?

Re: Hertz Corvette vs Nissan GTR

without the warranty-voiding launch control, it's not so tough.

Re: Hertz Corvette vs Nissan GTR

Actually, Edmunds found the GT-R was faster after the transmission reprogramming.

Re: Hertz Corvette vs Nissan GTR

If Edmunds is saying the GT-R is faster without a launch control takeoff, I'd have to question their sanity.

Re: Hertz Corvette vs Nissan GTR

Did anyone notice the Lambo that drives by as if it is on a Sunday drive? I guess if you are going to race one of those you need a Z06.

The Lambo had twin turbos according to a YouTube video recorded from the other side of the track.

Re: Hertz Corvette vs Nissan GTR

The GTR has twin turbos too... it didn't win at the 'Ring, or that one race against a Z06... or against the Hertz 'Vette.

That makes sense, that car is FAST even if the driver slept on the start. Great that the Vette smoked the Nissan though.
