If im not mistaken there was a recent article saying the launch control button was to be removed in upcoming models. What a turd.

Haha I know most of us don't like the GT-R(myself included), but can we really say fail to a 3.8 second 0-60?

Sure we can since a Z06 vette does it quicker and for less. I think its a turd and no matter how much you polish it it will always be a turd.

Most of the Z06 tests recorded 0-60 in 3.8. Remember 3.8 for the GTR is without launch control. 3.3 with launch control

Exactly and like I said above the GTR is getting the launch control removed for the next year model. So for 80k for the GTR or 69k for the Z06. Actually they were getting 3.6 to 3.7 on the Z06's. So for the money the Z06 is actually cheaper and faster at the 0-60. Not by much but still faster for less money.

I said fail because by the time it got to 60 mph without launch control the next 3.8 0-60 would cost 20k and 20k each time after that....:P

its not fail, don't get me wrong, but compared to a 7 Liter V8 and a V10 i don't think their twin turbo is worth the money. that's just my opinion

This is a friend of mine from the UAE Both Cars are his. Completely unbiased. AND if you watch closely you'll see the GTR loose repetitively.
