Good find..

...^ although all the GTR nutswingers have already jumped in the defense saying its common practice to do this at the NUR'

Lmao... Japan offering to teach Germany how to drive. The Germans were making Mercedes when the Japaneese were still mastering the donkey cart.

The fact that a small handful of roads with... turns on them.. yes turns... Because no one else in the world has turns on their mountain roads.... has bread some sort of super-drift Gene in select japaneese males is an absolutely retarded, racist theme of popular subculture.

GTR weighs a crapload, it doesn't produce nearly as much power as many of its competitors, yet the claimed times are lightyears beyond. Maybe the Japs are taking a lesson from the Chinese and banking that the rest of the world is just stupid... and that those gymnasts were really 16.

"They have measured it that far as this seems to be the normal way of when timing a lap of the ring as sport auto timed it to the same place. Basically all the laps done by car companies before are timed to that point and therefore Nissan are just following suit (something to do with the pit lane) so Nissan are not cheating in that way and the r35 in my mind is without doubt the faster car. With regards to 112mph limiter as standard sat nav recognises when on a race track and removes the limiter so no cheating there either"
quote from someone in the know......

"So the bottom line, its irrelevent, those 7.29's.... the times only say that the car is superbly sorted! The fact that it also costs 50% less that its closest rival in ring terms is a massive bonus and tbh I cannot think a better value car at this performance - even used ones..."

Porsche rules...Nissan sux...Nuff said.

Cool find.

Nice, I would like to see some clarification on this. I have been in a GT-R and a new 911 GT2 and there is no doubt the GT2 has bigger nuts all around. It is 700lbs lighter with 50 more horsepower:eek:

Until you have to replace the tranny in the GTR... The GTR is a bad a*s car period but it has a lot of things that need to be worked out. Once I see it racing I will have more respect for it.

what a shame...but we all know there is no way a nissan is better than a porsche and that the only beast able to trump a porsche is a Jeep. ;)

I think Winston WOULD REALLY LOVE to have a Japanese Girl one day!!!:D:D hehehehehe! I know I would!:p.......Oh wait... I already did!:D Dang Japs!!!

Their response seems pretty concrete. If it is the norm to start and stop lap timing at different points I don't see the problem.

Although I do not know what the "custom" is for timing on that track, i would imagine that there is a marked/understood "start" and "finish". Otherwise, whats the use of spouting times if track length is a variable?

pretty good vid of '08 GTR vs 03/04 basic bolt on cobra...disappointing...

^ the more i see those 03/04 cobras at work the more i'd be interested in getting one...to bad the interior is like straight out of the early 90's

+1. This has always been my view, no offense intended.

^ agreed the germans were prototyping seriously fast sports cars back in the wwII era....hell practically the darn time the japanese were still running around with swords,lol

Well...... the Yellow Bird can't quite be compared since it's not a factory car. It was made by RUF, but I still LOVE the car!

considering the times tho it still was a bad ass ride, still is IMO. ;)

was wondering what closest rival cost 50%more? gtr = 78k z06 = 77k zr1 = 113k
