Yep - those are quick numbers - I would like to see what a regular person on regular roads can achieve.

I would'nt be surprised if theyre the same numbers, what with the launch control and dual clutch gearbox making this kind of thing easy.

You wouold think so, however this would make the GT-R the first car in the history of the world to simply "match testers" numbers on any road for any driver

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.

As involving as a SL63, maybe even less dramatic given the 4WD system.

until you get into silly power numbers (above 700rwhp) the Ford GT is not far from idiot proof to launch sub 4 seconds to 60 mph.... of course, it helps that it hits 63 in 1st gear

I am sure on paper this is true, but I think many "regular folks" will be surprised how hard it is to shift your way to sub-4s on the street.

I would love to see the results of average high-HP drivers as they try to put magazine numbers down on random public streets
