Car and Driver Nissan Skyline GTR R35

As expected results, very similar to the R&T conclusion. <Yawn>
Thanks for the article tho nth :) |
What does the 5-60 time of 4.1sec mean? As denoted on the bottom left under the acceleration chart. (The last page)
Thanks Nth. |
^Street start. Mostly attribute to the low inertia turbo, broad torque curve, great transmission and aggressive 1st and 2nd gearing.
|
Thanks 5vz-fe. :-)
This may seem completely ignorant, but why is this time greatly slower than the 0-60?.. This doesn't make sense to me. A rolling start should make the time quicker, right? |

Yeah Nth you're right.
I just still belong to the sceptics society in relation to the times posted.. They're astonishing! |
^The times should be pretty accurate. Most magazines so far are able to obtain similar numbers. The thing that some of us are pondering is how long would it take before the GT-R's weight work against it's performance numbers. (Brake fade, tire overheats, heat soak on turbos...)

Thank you. It posted incredible numbers !! 0-100 in 7.8 s is at Ferrari 599 GTB level ...

One should read:
This is a Engineering mule that they tested... not a production car ;) |
There's a rumor whenever the magazine testers get their hands on the GTR there's always a bunch of suspicious-looking japanese folks hanging around nearby. Apparently they are controlling the boost on the car from their cellphones via bluetooth - bumping it whenever the car's on the track and lowering it while at the dyno. One of them was spotted wearing the strange "Live-Up-With-The-Hype-Crew" T-shirt. :mrgreen:
I mean, i'm still quite sure the power is underrated. These numbers are simply mind-blowing. Quote:
I recall the stress on the tires became noticeable right in the end of 5 laps Tsukuba race in Best Motoring when Tsuchiya faced a good amount of understeer. What else to expect from a 1740kg heavyass (even if it's perfectly engineered heavyass) that overuses it's front tires? oh and btw, Quote:

I mean - just pull up to a standstill on any road... and hit the gas. ANyhwo, without super-computer help and slick engineered auto-toys, few people can shift their way to 60mph in 3.5s on a regular street. :) |
I Just. Don't. Believe. It.
This car is physics defying.. |
