You are a disgrace to enthusiasts everywhere.

Z07, 6spd has become the itch you can't scratch. Something under your skin that leaves you eternally irritated. There certainly must be more productive things you can do? Honestly, this just embarrasses not only the car but yourself. I know that you are a reasonably witty and intelligent person. Have some self respect.

It's all good, guys.
It takes him FAR more time and effort to create new accounts than it does for me to ban him and remove all of his posts. I actually think it's pretty funny that he's so obsessed with us that he keeps on coming back.
Just keep PM'ing me when he returns. I'll happily force him to continue creating new accounts as long as he wants.

FYI...
Motor Trend dyno'd a US Spec GT-R in the June issue (I just got it from my mail box).
It made 430 AWHP on K&N's in-house AWD Dynojet. Those numbers matched the wheel HP numbers they got from an accelerometer on the same day. They are calling that 507 crank HP using 15% loss. But I'm thinking more like 537 using 20% loss.
They also ran a 11.6 @ 120.0, as well. 0-60 was in 3.2 and 60-0 braking in 105 feet.
They said it's quick off the start but has very short gearing so it slows down quite a bit at speed. Z06's and 997TT's will be hammering them from a roll-on.

I agree, that is
, I can see him now, clicking and typing away for several minutes, waiting for confirmation emailsand then getting here to post, only to get banned in 30 seconds. And his posts deleted to oblivion.6speed is going to have to move to the 24 hr period for email confirmations, but I dont even think that will do it.

Otherwise the launch is not that great correct?
IIRC kingleh or tony said that without the LC it kicks down the HP's to get a rev up(spool) before it takes off?

I can see some people getting out on the GT-R by honk real fast before the GT-R has time to push all the doodads.

HEY ******** READ PAGE 2 OF THE ARTICLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOUND HERE! http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do....photopanel..2.
I have no need to fabricate anything, the GT-R does enough of that by itself.

Right because you didn't cut and paste different parts of article to make something totally different.
HC's Quote
Best Car Ever?
Depending on your drive to work, you might have some words for Nissan about the GT-R's ride quality. There's a center-stack switch for adjusting the Bilstein adaptive dampers, and after bludgeoning our first expansion joint, we waste no time selecting "Comf." But comf never comes. We can't detect any change in the damping at all.
There I said it. I've come clean. The holy grail of new performance cars, the great Nissan GT-R, isn't my thing. Man, what a load off my chest.
Then there's the hooligan factor. Sometimes having a fast car isn't only about speed. Sometimes it's about fun. And the GT-R, with its very sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, gets a big fat zero in this category. Powerslides and burnouts aren't really in the GT-R's vocabulary. Sure, it's fun to use its launch mode and leave the world behind, but most of the time I'd rather shave a little life off my rear tires.

Maybe this means we're not hard-core enough to drive a 2009 Nissan GT-R. Or maybe it means a grand-touring suspension package will turn up in a few years. But there's an easier solution if you want in on the R35 Skyline GT-R experience. Don't take the freeway to work. Use the back roads instead.
You'll drive them faster than you ever have before. Maybe you'll never know exactly what the GT-R is up to behind the scenes, but when you can out-accelerate, out-handle and out-brake anything short of a Formula 1 car, do you really care?

You are no different than GTR fanboys who tries to only show the good side and hide the bad. But in your case, 911 TT is your baby. Why try to skew the information?
And it's so funny how you don't cry "bad driver," "unfair weather condition," "different tire," or any other excuse you have mentioned on every other magazine review. But soon as one magazine comes up with 911 on top, you preach it like it is the bible.
I just think people should be able to like or dislike any car without people calling fanboys or snobs. If people like 911 better, great. If people like GTR, great. Just because you drive one car, it doesn't mean you should put down other people who likes the other car.
I think 911 and GTR can co-exist without the universe imploding to a single point. It's clear that 911 and GTR has its own merit. Just like people, one isn't better at everything than the other. So choose the car that best suits your style, whatever that may be.

Scott I am assuming that 11.6 @ 120 is from using the LC that is not supposed to be used too often before it fries the clutch?
Otherwise the launch is not that great correct?
IIRC kingleh or tony said that without the LC it kicks down the HP's to get a rev up(spool) before it takes off?

Without using LC, it went 0-60 in 4.0 rather than 3.2.

Keep yappin away, I told you I was done arguing with you as it's a waste of time trying. I'm glad you dont think Z07 is not a fanboy and think highly of him. He represents you well.

131 BHP from ECU and Exhaust.
Where's the BS flag at on 6speed? If the ECU consists of adding 4 to 5 pounds of boost then a so called ECU might fly but if not... I'm still looking for that flag just in case. I'll just leave it at that because leaning it out adding some timing with some octane will not get you 80 to 90 HP to the wheels... not on the same boost level.
