Yes, racing with turns that utilize the car's handling. Not racing on the street from 30. Who cares about drag racing? I want to see how they do when they have to brake and turn.

Lol.. Who cares about drag racing

Yes, when talking about the full performance potential of these cars. Drag racing only shows one aspect, not all aspects like racing on a road course does. Do you really want to argue that fact?

Here's a comparison that R&T did with the GTR, ZR1 and 911 Turbo. The GTR was .8 slower around the track then the ZR1.

In 2008, the tested it against the Z06 and 911 and it was over 5 seconds faster than the Z06.

Each car has it's advantages in the performance spectrum, the Z06 is a faster car, yes, but the GTR makes up for it in the corners (around the track).

No doubt, the Corvette's credentials are impressive: Producing 505 naturally aspirated bhp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque from its 7.0-liter V-8, the svelte Chevy packed the strongest punch of the group, while being the lightest on its feet, tipping the scales at a lean 3350 lb. It kept pace with the others to 60 mph, and then managed to set the fastest trap speed at the quarter-mile mark (123.7 mph), besting the 911 Turbo by 2.5 mph and the GT-R by 7.2.mph This just goes to show that although the Corvette couldn't get off the line as quickly as its awd competitors, once it got going, nothing here could touch it.

And of course, there's this.......

Road racing does not show all aspects of a cars performance. Most tracks favor small and nimble rather than high horsepower. So a civic could outperform a Z06, GTR etc on a particular track.

GT-R does nothing for me. It may have incredible performance but, IMHO, it has no soul.

Porche racers could not duplicate the gtr's times around the ring...the times they recorded were slower than the Z06s.

There is a rumor that the GTR test drivers used "race radials" aka shaved tires at the nurburgring

theres a nissan dealer not far from where i live, so ive seen the gtr a few times on the road. i really like this car. one of the few Japanese cars i actually like.

TaylorRyanSS · 07-26-2010, 02:05 AM

I have seen about 20 of them on the road since they have been out. I saw one today on the way home from vegas. I think they look sweet.

Revo1 · 07-26-2010, 02:12 AM

Meh. I've seen a couple, wasn't that impressed with the look. And IMO, that level of performance could be achieved in a cheaper, better looking fashion elsewhere. Just MO tho

All-Or-Nothing · 07-26-2010, 03:30 AM

I love that GTR. I might have had one if they were out when I picked up my 6er.

lil_chef · 07-26-2010, 08:13 AM

ive been around the track with a couple, but they were all extremely modified and gutted by stillen. boy if you thought they were fast before.......

guiLT · 07-26-2010, 08:56 AM

I've seen a couple of these in person. They look awesome.

lexlueger · 07-26-2010, 09:31 AM
