Nissan GT-R Fans Will Love This: 7:38 round the Nurburgring

imported_MPower · 10-25-2007, 10:42 PM

Not wow'd by the engine sound, if I am honest. Still, that is a very impressive time.

ichiban · 10-25-2007, 11:00 PM

amazing.

BForbes · 10-25-2007, 11:05 PM

The car will DESTROY everything short of a Zonda's and the like...

Fast Kiwi · 11-07-2007, 10:19 AM

Im from N.Z and im very excited to finally see this car come to the u.s (and not as a chopd up car or 100K used car) this new one will rock out.

Sephiroth · 11-09-2007, 09:38 PM

I still have my doubts about it. There is no way the GT-R will have that kind of performance for 70k, its probably the lighter but more expensive trims that can approach that kind of time. And that was not a manual in the vid...

No way at all?:iono:

Looks like this thing is REAL.

Redline · 11-10-2007, 02:35 AM

I'm very disappointed this is the best Japan has to offer.
They trying to beat porsche turbos , but porsche came out with GT2.

If Nissan can finally do a engine right like HONDA, and lose some weight from the 4wd system, and the rear seats, then I'll be impressed.

Don't go putting 4 seats on a car that only has 2 doors.

So you would like a torqueless screamer in the GT-R?

Redline · 11-10-2007, 01:15 PM

Honda engine doesn't need to big of a torque , it has vtec.

As far as I can tell on Nurburgring it will be within vtec area. Make the engine a bit bigger , and knowing that its Honda, it will push the engine efficiency and pull out as much power necessary from that displacement.

ichiban · 11-10-2007, 04:20 PM

when honda makes a rwd/awd coupe that can compete with the GT-R's time, i'll be impressed. Until then, there's no competition between the two.

last time i checked the GT2 costs around $200k,
and the GT-R around 75K...

Do you even understand what vtec is, beyond a cool sounding acronym? vtec is not a substitute for torque.

Honda Fanboi?

Torque is a street car's friend.

The next NSX is probably going to be capable of that. Still a couple years till thats out though.

Well my oppinion would be different from what most of you would be.

We probably have different driving styles. I personally feel Turbo cars (not hagging on 135i) are not great at all.

I like Honda engines is because they push the limits of their displacement. They also win races in F1.

Nissan not so much.

Ah, when will Porsche finally learn the ways of Honda and get rid of those 911 Turbo and GT2 nonsense. :biggrin:

Oh, and let's not forget that for the brief period of time that turbos were allowed in F1, they completely dominated the series.

Redline · 11-12-2007, 02:44 PM

Well actually when I was referring to Porsche pushing the limits of their displacement, I was looking at GT3, not the carrera gt or gt2:respekt:
