I pulled up to a GTR on Friday night, he revved his engine and then put a sign up in his drivers window. It read " I can not race you no matter how much I want to, my tranny will blow and so does my warranty" I laughed and drove away.
Nissan will pull this car from the market just give it a few more months.

How is my math bad? Do tell..... I am not trying to turn this thread into anything. Other members keep saying the GT-R is slower in the 60-130 times, which I showed was inaccurate. A lot of the times posted on this forum for those runs were probably using a G-Tech? The Car and Driver times are accurate using a GPS tracking system. SO no my math is not bad at all. If you bothered to actually READ my previous post another GT-R WITHOUT METH did the same 10.8 @ 133mph without LC. Again very impressive times for a brand new car with an exhaust and a reflash. I don't see many 997TT going 10.8@133+ with an exhaust and a reflash.
G-Tech...right.

02 996 Turbo - gone, but not forgotten
So a GT-R with an intercooler pipe, ecu flash, exhaust, meth injection kit, and intake filters ran in the top 11 on this Porsche list! Another GT-R with exhaust, wheel bearings and, pulleys and ecu flash also ran in the top 11 on this list. With the car being our for only 3 months I would say that is very impressive.
A stock Corvette ZO6 driven by our own Jamie Furman (10.981) with stock tires ran mighty close to the highly modified Nissan GTR.

Yes, it does show your lack of intelligence. 60-130 times are not anything like 1/4 mile times. There are a lot more cars on that list that will waist that GT-R in a 60-130.

My friend pulled up next to a 997tt with his GTR and started to rev his engine. The tt owner put up a sign next to his window. It read " I can not race you no matter how much i want to. There are too many witnesses here, and i don't want to be embarrassed by a Datsun which costs half the price of my car. Afterall, i only bought this car to pose" True story.

The Porsche driver just didnt want to help the GTR driver pick up transmission pieces all over the road.

You are definitely Z07.

word has it that another manufacturer has called the GTR bluff. From our Rennteam compatriots:
Quote:
...some other manufacturer also bought and tested USA version of GT-R and in short-not nearly as fast on the Ring as Suzuki san. BTW, driver was factory race driver and few times Le Mans winner...

No one will ever get close to Suzuki San. And Nissan have embarassed themselves once again.
1) Lied on the ring
2) Gearbox issues
3) Media scam with VDC
4) Ever increasing MSRP
5) Insane maintenance costs
6) Poor Dealership Network/Delivery
They just couldnt leave well enough alone and market their car as a "supercar" and let the car speak for itself with what it can do, they had to over-do everything, as is typical from them.
There was one at my house the other night, looked really sharp in black. Doesnt tickle my fancy though. At least nothing like the Black Series I had just been in at Jenks house. Of course there isnt much that excites me like that car did. Only wish Merc. would stick a manual in it. In something, anything.

at 7.7 seconds, the GTR is traveling at 172 ft/s, the TT is at 190 ft/s. The TT is putting almost an additional 20ft distance on the GTR with each second and the difference is increasing
Wow, that's fast. Pretty much like Sonic Hedgehog fast

My Intelligence! That is rich coming from you!Do tell us which other car will be able to "waist" the GT-R! Anyway the stock 997 Tip does not get any where near a 8 second 60mph-130mph. The GT2 tested in Car and Driver did a 9.6 second time, the Z06 Vette did a 9.1 time and the new ZR1 did a 8.5 second time! Damn that Tiptronic 997 TT must have some serious hardware to run a 8.4 second time and beat the ZR1 Corvette! Or not.....
So a GT-R with an intercooler pipe, ecu flash, exhaust, meth injection kit, and intake filters ran in the top 11 on this Porsche list! Another GT-R with exhaust, wheel bearings and, pulleys and ecu flash also ran in the top 11 on this list. With the car being our for only 3 months I would say that is very impressive.
I call that a highly tuned car
yes, and the tranny obviously has a lot to do with it. Remember, I am sure all these cars are stick shift cars. Big difference in shifting between them. And even with the better shifting trans and easier launching trans, even without LC, it still does not approach the trap speed of any of the cars you posted. You could probably get a stock 997tt and run 100 octane race fast and straight pipes with a tune and go as fast in trap speed with a stick if not faster.
