Wow, what a save.

But how do you lose control of a GT-R on a straight line? something must have broke to upset the power transfer don't you think?

Nessal · 03-23-2012, 12:13 PM

Why don't they make more run off for the tracks so that if you do lose control, you have a larger amout of space to recover?

toesuf94 · 03-23-2012, 12:24 PM

Nice save...the driver's seat is still ruined though.

my guess is to prevent the car from getting even more out of control. Do you mean like how on a road course or track they have the 40 - 50 yards of sand?

There must have been something on the track.

2010SLVRBULIT · 03-23-2012, 12:37 PM

heck, I would've just let off on the gas...

From what I understand about the GTR is that it is not AWD all the time. At a standing start like this one on a dragstrip, it will mostly be RWD until it gets farther down the track.. The GTR is an odd duck. Lots of technology in that car. I still have much to learn about it, and I always want to learn more about it.

wow...he was inches away from a significant emotional event.

Dznts · 03-23-2012, 01:35 PM

Uh, no. I was thinking more like RWD was getting it sideways. And the split didn't occur like it should have. With how much technology that's in that damn thing it could be a 100 different scenarios.

EDIT: It looks like maybe 2012's have a RWD function added. Making the car constantly RWD by the push of a button. Interesting, gonna have to check up on this.
