I think the edge that the GT-R has over the Turbo would widen if both cars were in the hands of less experienced drivers. The GT-R is simply easier to drive fast / more confidence inspiring. Some view that as a negative, but I happen to like it.

There's the problem.... in a nutshell !!!Both the car & the driver pretending.... to be something they are NOT !!
The GT-R is an upscale 4 passenger coupe...
The fanbois are blowing transmissions, modifying the ECU's, boosting the turbochargers, adding after market suspension, all in an effort to make it into a...Sports Car !!!
At the end of the day... you're still left with a ~ 3900 lb. coupe, after ruining it's reliability and street maners.

we've been all through this, but yet, when everyone forgets you try to insert it again. At best there was 800 cars in the US at the time of the incident. At best there may have been 200 that were being driven hard. 30 failures into 200, 2% does not make

Are you making stuff up as you go along, or are you using the force? Go back to google.com, look up the suspension system for the 08 Viper ACR, and then check back with me.

Representing a modified car as STOCK... is simply cheating !!! See the title of this thread !!!
Hence, we are questioning the "FABLED ~ 7:29 ring time " advertised for the GT-R by Nissan !!!
There are other threads for discussing track-prep'ed or race-prep'ed cars.

"So guys i blew my motor today racin a modded R35 ofcourse on a closed circuit.
I had the following mods LG stage 3 cams, LG long tube headers with x pipe, K&N intake and a tune from one of the best tuners in Dubai.
So i did 5 runs with this guy all from a roll and on all 5 runs he pulled about 3-5 cars on me.Well forget that part.
On our last run we did a run from a 50km i was in 1st went up to about 200km and boom i look in my rear view mirror smoke every where then i heard the worst sound somethin came out of the engin and hit the bottom of the passenger side. Pulled over and there was oil every where, went to the back of the car and oil on the bumper so i was like f***
. So what do you guys think happened the car was running fine i didnt miss **** didnt red line did 7grand perfect shifts 
its been driving me crazy what the F happened."
So again I am surprised that the Z06 managed to get around a 13 mile track without blowing it's motor.
