Re: 2009 Nissan GT-R

Sometimes I think the GTR is striking in its techno cool styling...

Other times I think its awkward looking.

I'll hold judgement till I see it in person.

As far as the performance beating a porsche twin turbo...

The LS2 C6 coupe beat the porsche twin turbo last year in the car and driver test at the track...

I didn't quite see as much hoopla over that fact as I have with the Nissan GTR doing the same..

hard launching the AWD DSG GTR does show impressive acceleration to 60mph though and I would imagine the GTR will be consistant in its performance.

Yeah, who knows what's really under that nice Lexas Body at this point, but if that 3800lb funny looking GT-R probably will be testing with the ZR1 this summer and the prices might make it a decent option?

Nurburgring Track Times - Supercars.net

Will see!
The Nissan GTR was significantly faster than the Lambo SL around the ring if you believe Nissan's manufacturer claims. So how come the Nissan GTR ran a slower quarter than the Lambo SL and also was slower around a track than the SL?. You can also see that the Nissan seriously lacks the top end of the Lambo SL. So are all early these performance figures full of hot air?....we need more time but more and more reviews indicate that this GTR is slower than previously thought.

(On the track video) Look at the tacho for the Porsche cars.........6000rpm seems like those best motoring racing drivers are short shifting the P cars. IMO a bit biased.



Lambo ran the quickest time of 11.8, Nissan GTR with a 12.1.

Well I think it's a good car for the price, being able to take down a Ford Gt40 03, Mustang Shelby Cobra 07, Porche tt, and corvette Z06. So as you can see it's a pretty good car. Really good technology. Reliability we still don't know, as far as mods still in the air. Some downside to it too just like everything. It has a very sensitive ecu, meaning that you can't just do what you want. In order to change the wheels you need to trow a code at the comp to bypass it, that way you can put different wheels on it. Mines a tunning company in japan got one a few months prior to the release and then bought another one. They tried putting cone air filters' but didn't really work, they tried to boost up the turbos but were unable too. So they're still getting familiar with the engine and developing parts for it. Also in japan the Gt-rs' are limited to 111mph you have to go thru certain menus to get to run to the fullest. If you exceed the 111mph you have to take it to a Nissan certified shop for them to inspect it , it costs about 1000 usd. If you don't It will void factory warranty that's only in japan though. Design wise I don't really like the front but from the back Damn it looks sexxy. Also it's better in person than in picks. Also it's not about having the fastest car it's about having the car you like, love it. If you like corvettes, totally cool, if you like V6's ok too. It's not like you race around every corner, you'll never have the fastest car. So just go with what you can afford, what you like, and what you're going to do with it. Every car in nice in it's own way, just like every woman is beautiful in her own way....

Don't take it personally. They are just voicing their opinions on that car. You gotta expect a little bias since this is a Z06 board.
