So just to summarize, some US car magazines have tested the GT-R, but haven't posted any decent numbers or comparison to other cars? Wtf is that?

I Would like state on my final note that i think the gtr might not have stock tyres but might not have slicks either but something inbetween.. maybe S class tyres ?

I'm not arguing that point

The stock tyres are VERY soft.

140 wear rating.

PS2's are 220 and Sport Cups are 100...

The Kuhmo V700's I run on the street are 50 wear rating, and Hoosier R6's are 40 wear rating.

So with my 50's, close to 700bhp and 3100lbs, I really feel no threat from the GT-R hehe

I wonder if they shaved their tires before use?

i dont think this video has been posted here b4

it consists of Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi driving the GTR on the autobahn to 300kph, him talking to the GTR's chief engineer, and a driving impression of the car going around the nurburgring... very nice video
