2008 Nissan GT-R

“+it is long and heavy”

And possibly higher then the slanted V6.

I know.... :-(

And unfortunately that is not the only problem

RB26DETT was a bulletproof detuned racing engine but it is not suited for any modern civilized road car +it is long and heavy

@someone I think it's too big for mid engine R35.

Nissan bring the RB26DETT back!!!

"GTR+800 hp kit=best value for money"

Best value for money until it breaks. Cars tuned to that power level are super unreliable.

Huge difference between a production car with a lot of power.. and a modified tuner. The production car is proven to be reliable.. the tuner will be a money pit that breaks down all the time.

GTR+800 hp kit=best value for money :P but we better pray the tranny and clutch don't break haha

LOL. How old are you Anonymous1? Do your parents know you're using the computer? Tsk tsk.

I would easily take the ZR1 and ACR over the GTR!

I'd take an Acr for the track and a regular Viper for the street and would never buy a Zr1 period.

I would take an ACR for the track and a ZR1 for the street. I would take both over the GTR anyday!

777, phavyarden knows what he's talking about. The Viper Acr will kill them all. I'd take a Viper over a Zr1 any day. I'd take a Nissan Gtr over a Zr1 also.

Yes, but the GT.R is cheaper, and if you're talking about lap times for that price, Viper acr 133 kill em all

Looks like the ZR1 has MURDERED the GTR at 10 of 13 tracks with 2 of the wins by the GTR on wet track testing. It should be very clear to everyone that the ZR1 is truly superior to the GTR.

My profile quite clearly shows i have not added any laptimes.

@scooones You did something bad regarding car and laptime submission. Looking at the ban list I can actually see that I have banned you twice. :) That must have been serious.

As usual, I always forget why I ban somebody but my bet is on false laptimes. I immediately ban if I sense that someone is faking lap times. That's the worst possible offense.

Apparently im banned. i only joined two days ago, i have made 10 comments, none of which were offensive, abusive or spam. i have not uploaded innapropriate photos. why am i banned, and how come i can still comment?

This must be the coolest japan car of em all

Its more than bhp that decides aceleration, theres aero, grip from tyres, transmission, gearing, electronics, driver, power down, weight, the R35 does have 480bhp and 3789lbs, and no one would expect a 80k Nissan to put down 60mph in 3.2s, but it also has Great traction off the line, and that dual clutch transmission along with good aero.

I've been browsing this site alot, but I have not found a car with similar acceleration numbers with that "low" power per weight. I assume the GT-Rs that produced those numbers had more than 472 hp.

is a fast corner machine ever ...

the gtr is the best supercar... for teen is the best... 4 seat and a boot yeah i will keep this car forever... and 3 second wow over 200 miles yeah....

When you compare track times, you can't just look at ONE because there are too many variables that may not accurately reflect a car's true potential. You need to look at the averages of all the tracks when comparing cars.

In the 8 tracks compared and averaged, the ZR1 SMOKES GTR!!! Not even close!

I know someone is going to point it out but Horst von Saurma IS a race car driver. 7:38? and the time here is toshio suzuki's (7:26.7)... thats a questionable difference to me

Sorry man, I haven't, and to be honest, I don't trust much other tracks besides top gear's, tsukuba and the nurburgring when it comes to comparing any cars actually. Most of these times posted may have been done by automotive journalists (one claimed the GT-R could only do 7:50 something, and don't get me started on both porsche's underhanded tactics and horst von sama). These automotive journalists are not race car drivers e.g. Jeremy Clarkson who cites himself as an example; look up him playing Gran turismo for example. Unless its done by an automotive company's tester or the entity known as "the stig" who might very well be just one actor and a host of many test/professional racing drivers I call the test irrelevant; automotive journalists just give insight about how the car drives to the average driver. Either way, ranting about the drivers doesn't help my argument so I'll say something sensible using numbers.

Power and Torque
Corvette: 638bhp:604lb·ft
GT-R: 480bhp:430lb·ft

Curb Weight
Corvette:1,515kg
GT-R:1,740kg

The corvette should be spanking ass on the nurburgring with those horrible comparisons on power and weight. If nissan (the same company that makes sentras, ewww)decided to make a 2 seater 600bhp lightweight car, what would the improvement be .3 seconds? less tire slippage on the start? Companies like porsche and chevorlet are getting slack and at the end of the day the nissan should be getting its ass whipped by a mile.

But its not :)
