sorry admins for the link, but this is pretty important information. I really don't care as I haven't ever launched mine... but let the storms begin.

Wondering what the new times are going to be 0-60 with the softer launch?

 

found one 'test', still fast.

Speed (mph) Time (sec)
0-30 1.9
0-40 2.5
0-50 3.2
0-60 3.9
0-70 4.9
0-80 6.0
0-90 7.2
0-100 8.6
1/4-mile 12.2 sec. @ 119.2 mph

 

At least they admit that in the US market only 1% have failed. They are right though, this whole transmission failure has been blow way out of line. People just seem to want to see this car fail it seems.

I wish I had the money to buy a GTR right now, I think its a great buy.

 

^ It is a great buy. I'm incredibly happy with mine thus far. No problems yet and it's been fantastic.

 

that has got to be the worst driver ever.

my wife did better, the first time she ever hit the throttle wide open in a straightline (proof on another thread here).

gt-r's trap 11.6-9 from the factory.

average is 3.7-3.8 0-60 just hitting the throttle from idle.

i'm getting my car back tomorrow, and we'll see if there is a noticeable improvement.

 

what measurement device did you use? One tenth of a second is well within the margin to be expected time after time.

 

Who cares, the GT-R is fast!.


My overpriced Toyota can run low 12.3's with two sets of golf clubs in the trunk

 

for the 1/4? countless slips.

for the 0-60? g-tech pro/integrated stop watch inside the car on the steering wheel.

and i said average. mine did 3.8 0-60, and 11.9 factory, because i have the heavy bridgestones.

the point? i'm not some hotshot magazine driver. and whoever did this driving should quietly disappear into the night. because my wife did a better job, and she has zero experience whatsoever.

 

nice...

i did a run with two large bags of dogfood in the trunk, by accident of course.

and if you're referring to your is-f as an overpriced toyota, i would disagree with you. it is quite a nice luxury sports car.

 

Gtech pro and a stop watch? Those can both be tenths off at 60, I bought one 7 years ago and ran it in a few cars and it was so widely inconsistent vs. the performance box / driftbox I upgraded to.

 

Wow, this car just hit a new time, possibly a record for a stock car with the new reprogram.
11.347 @120.85 mph. Here's the link. http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=28329

 

That's impressive.

 

very nice run

 

i personally don't think it's that difficult to watch the three different possible speedo locations and then tap the thumb on the steering wheel to stop the time. what could possibly go wrong?
