R35 GTR J-spec in USA

0-60 in 10 seconds :mrgreen:

Ah. Cars and Coffee. That's probably the place where I'll see my first GT-R on the road.

Huh? Slower than other cars but still fasther than every other production car on the planet?

^ gotta love baseless-sweeping statements. :-)

Other then of course the z06 (127 mph trap) with times in the low 11s stock on run flats, the 911, and about 50 other cars.

wtf are they complaining road noise.....road and track really need to hire someone with more common sense.

Wow - what an excuse filled writeup.

And this seems to go against everything everyong else says about the car.. now it can't handle tight short circuts.. but loves long circuits?

Hmmm... something is fishy yet again... because all the Japanese tests show the GT-R crushing any opposition on short courses.

You can see quite clearly that the AWD system is trying to push out the rear to compensate for the understeer in the tight circuit. That will heat up the tires much faster than a car that doesn't do that kinda trick.

Targa Tasmania and now this. The road-going GT-R's aren't having very much competetive success for being the car that's supposed to be easier to take to the limit. 11th overall is pretty good, but not very godzilla-like.

Conclusion: fast but not Jesus yet again.

The tuner's will have to play jesus again all over
:-)

as tested by Best Motoring:

Tsukuba (2km):
Sleggera ~ 1:01.599
GTR ~ 1:01.94

Twin Ring Motegi (4,8km):
Sleggera ~ 2:10:024
GTR ~ 2:07:600

Were these times/tests back top back on track at the same time? If not, then such close times on such a short circuit are meaningless if taken at different times.

Explain the video displays of the GT-R pushing 911T's into the dirt then?
