Not even close

I called it

04-10-2008, 07:39 AM The thing is, its AWD system, helps it to 0-60, and powering out of a corner, but, by the Quarter mile, Its left in the dust by the Porsche and Z-06, meaning, on you tube, where guys honk at 40 miles per hour and then race, it does not stand a chance , Also, on a track like Le Mans France where the streaches are longer and not all corners force you back to 20 mph, it would get a good spanking from the Z06http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f29/gtr-v-spec-astonishes-ring-63014/index4.html

Let the evidence pour in. This car (GT-R) seemed to defy gravity.. now we know its all talk and spin.

The thing is, there is no way this heavy pig (GT-R) would be able to outrun a more powerful more agile Z06.

Now its buyers are going to be spanked in the streets for real.. not those doctored IL reviews

Yep, leave it to You Tube to show more in the future. The Z06 will win a few, and I'm sure the GTR will be on the winning side of a few also. I can't condone street racing, however. Go to a drag strip to get it out of your system.

I don't think there is a single person, even on a Nissan forum, that would be surprised that the more powerful RWD Vette would walk away from the heavier, less powerful, AWD GT-R with a Nascar start.

I think it's pretty clear were the GT-R excels and that would be at putting the most of it's power efficiently to the pavement through the corners which makes it easy to drive fast, even for less than professional drivers.

Not that I condone street racing or have ever done it myself but very few street races start from a 40 mph roll with two powerful cars involved because you typically run out of room in a matter of seconds. The 40mph roll racing is usually reserved for Honda's and other equally slow cars. I would like to see these two square off from a dig to about 80mph which would be a more likely scenario.

They did go from a dig.

True that!

I would like to see a CLEAN race from a dig to 80mph since the guy in the GT-R seemed clueless on how to use launch control and the Z06 jumped after two honks. I wonder at what mph the Z06 goes screaming by. I guess it really would heavily depend on available traction and how good the Z06 driver was.

The Z06 with Hennessy especially the 2009 would spank any GT-R...
Remember most people do not realize that the 2009 Z06 is highly upgraded from the 2008, and 2008 was better than 2007 etc.. GM has continued to quietly improve the Z06.
If the current Z06 went to the ring, and do a rolling start like the souped up GT-R, I would not be supprised if it actually owned the GT-R, especially if its getting the launch control upgrades in the CTS-V and ZR-1
A GT-R Z06 comparo should not be based on 2006 Z06 numbers that the mags use.

I don't think there's a single GT-R fanboi who would dispute straightline performance. It's pretty much a given. But if that's what you think the GT-R is about, more power to you.

I wonder how many people here would enjoy riding in an Elise or a souped up Mitsu Evo...

The main concern was that the GT-R fanboi's claimed launch control gave the GT-R the edge in acceleration when the GT-R was first introduced.
In other words, the Nissan fanboi's did think that's what the GT-R was all about.

 

[JBsZ06]

I look forward to seeing the GTR run at VIR with car and driver.

If the the stock GTR can run under 3 minutes I'll be impressed more than I already am.

Its got great technology if its styling doesn't appeal to me personally.

Thanks for the heads up on the video.

^^ where does the elise come in?

There's really no "concern" here. Launch control gives many cars an advantage going really quick off the block. It does give the GT-R a big advantage as well........versus not having launch control.

But otherwise, the car is what it is - a high value performance machine just like the Z06 and a great alternative.

I think the main reason for the rolling starts is so they can keep the turbos spooled. Those cars have zero torque in the low RPM band.

A lot of excuses here, a race is a race and the GTR got smoked.

The Z06 is really the king of Torque in this range
