So true, all this bull crap from Nissan is for naught, only thing that will do is a shoot out. I'm sure that's what Porsche was setting into motion. Pull one off the floor somewhere and show us it will run a 7:29.

We need to put spies on all the GTR dealers now. I bet they'll have all their enginners running around late at night turning the showroom GTR's into ringers so whatever is picked, it will run a 7:29.

heavychevy, I'm not sure what your problem is, but I bet your Mom is really worried about the amount of time you spend in your bedroom arguing with grown-ups about a car you don't like.

Hey Trommel he's not the one that joined this forum to TROLL. Your first post is a dig at a long time member? I absolutely think you should be banned and I am sure you will be.

From what ive seen heavychevy is pretty well respected by the Porsche and Corvette guys, he is also a great driver with some of the faster times on several tracks.

Oh I see that youve got "1" post to your name. Have fun trolling Nisboi.

Notice that Nissan said they'd be back to the ring testing the standard GT-R, what is that like two years worth of testing? They are turning the ring into a circus by throwing a race car budget at it.

I guess we know where the MSRP increases this year and next are going.

But either way, Nissan will never agree to having a showroom stock car come to the track, they'll show up with more ringers, or like you said, see to it that they have some influence on where the car comes from.

I think the cars should be able to be dynoed and have the acceleration tested by an independant party before hand. I'm not concerned about the tires, but that GT-R had extra horsepower end of story.

The GT-R is harder to drift than a 997 TT or 997 GT3, therefore if you are trying to drift, the GT-R will consequently get a faster lap. Normal apexing and driving not included.

See Evo and Car magazine for details.

I've been reading these forums for some time, only now have I felt I should post.

I'm interested to know what the agenda is and why he feels the need to constantly try to put down one particular car. It's like there has been some personal sleight - it's just a car after all. It's beyond obsessive.

Anyway, as you're all no doubt aware, the first cars tested by the UK press were privately-owned and privately-imported. Both were dyno'd at around 500 bhp. Both lived up to the performance expectations in independent testing, and more than the numbers can say (what is the obsession with performance figures in the States?) the testers loved the way they drove.

Surely that is the point - that the car is great to drive. Who cares who made it?
