"Credit goes to it's sticky tyres".
I love how subtly this comment is inserted in the article........ :-) I just don't believe the GT-R is this quick! I just don't.. Flame away. |

You know what's funny? I somewhat don't believe it too actually. I think that's what makes me so addicted to it. :-) * Updated the first post with all of the PDF's (converted to JPG) provided by R&T with the article. * |

Impressive performance which confirms the european's results (EVO, CAR ). This GT-R is a winner without doubts ... even if the sticky tires are an advantage ;-)

A GT3 RS without Sportcups is still one of the most competant cars on the planet... without race spec tyres the GTR is just another 4,000lb sedan... BTW. didn't Nissan try this once before - with the long forgotten Mid4? |
Oooh. Gordon Murray. He still looks like he's stuck in the 80's. Or is that a stock photo? ;-)
They should've asked him about the packaging of the car, rather than sheet metal design. Opportunity missed. |

Sorry for making a joky replies. It's just somehow i guess it's rather pointless to sensibly argue with you on the GTR. :mrgreen: :w00t: GTR HATERS UNITE!!! :w00t: GT-R Hater's Club Official Haircut: |

What argument? Argument would imply you guys have a chance at winning (as opposed to whining) ;) From day 1 we simply stated: In order for the GT-R to deliver the supposed performance numbers it is being waaaaaaay underrated on power and/or has very sticky tyres - far stickier than any of the competing cars get STOCK. You side of the table said that neither of these things are true... and now it turns out that BOTH are the case ;) Lets see these same tests repeated when the Porsche and Corvette have got the tyres installed that the owners put on.... because then the GT-R's advantage is gone.. and day after day, lap after lap, street mile after street mile, the lighter car is always more desirable over the "technological" car ;) And it is in the real world of actual owner experience that this car needs to live and survive, not the world of Internet Geeks and Magazine Bench racers :P ;) GT-R Lovers Club Haircut? http://www.all4humor.com/images/file...;20Haircut.jpg I mean, the levels you guys go to pile on the bullsh..... ;) |
This is the same deal with the new Shelby GT500 KR.... VERY aggressive tires make it outcorner even a Ford GT... even with 3900 lbs... try lasting more then 5 hot laps on a challenging circuit...

estimated as tested price FTW! :laugh:

Guys, you know what? I'm not the new Nissan GTR nut to be honest! :P
If i had this kind of money, i'd jump in the six year old NSX-R without a single thought with the big smile on my face and forgot what the GTR is. You see i love lightweight cars, i prefer RWD over AWD, i prefer full manual gearbox over DSG (even if it's slower), i love high-revving NA engines... in other words i love and respect pure sportscars. And i see all previous gen GTRs as such, but unfortunately not the new one. In fact the only GTR i'd be happy to own is the R32 Skyline GTR (R33 and R34 are really good too, but they're hardly any different from the R32, a tad faster but also heavier, anyway i'd easily pick them over the new GTR anyday as they're still more "pure" and much more appealing to me). So why do i like the new GTR then? Well, the car that has been engineered up to the smallest bits during 5 consequent years, with such impressive technology and attention to details applied, that happened to be so good that in fact made myself doubting it's performance, deserves some respect in my book. Yeah and most of all i like the way this GTR phenomenon pisses some people of. Thre're so many haters and doubters who can't believe it is really that good and generally hate it more than any other car on the planet. :laugh: (I'd like to drive it, but i wouldn't buy it :P) (Dunno 'bout V-Spec though... :mrgreen:) |
:)
I would like to drive one, if it will go faster than 112mph... :) |
I'll wait until they start shipping actual production models over the pond before I have any real opinions on the thing.
