Re: ZR1 vrs LF-A

Racing tires do cut times quite a bit...

but I think its the drugs the Japanese manufacturers are taking...



I call BS since toyota doesn't want nissan to out do it...

Re: ZR1 vrs LF-A

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?

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.

Re: ZR1 vrs LF-A

The mag. tests will be interesting! I don't really count the exotics because
there way too top heavy$; Tires can even things up and are cheap, relatively speaking!
