I still dont get this. A 4000 lbs car with driver and only ~500 whp is running 125 and 11 secs.
That is crazy...how does the 60-130 times look on this car. Has anyone run them?
when you say gearing and traction ...how can it still compensate for an additional weight of 600 lbs compared to c6z06 and still run pretty much the same time
A stock z06 dynos about 440whp...

Bone stock Z06 fastest time * verified * 10.981 @ 128.90
Drag Radials 10.831 @ 130.5
Keep in mind shifts take time, and the GTR always is putting power to the ground. Perfect gearing and no tractive force lost during shifts coupled with a good powerband and an amazing launch.

Thanks kickhard.That's the best reply i have seen so far. I am def not a hater. I love and respect the car. My best friend is actually getting his car delivered here in chicago tommorow. I will post my opnions after some seat time tommorow. I am sure its a great car....its already proven itself on the ring and track.
Have fun in the car...when my budget permits i will get one of these...for now its my 600 hp 996 tt.
All i can say is wow..technology does its wonders.

I would love to hear more of what you think about GTR in comparision with 996tt in the performance dept. The 996 tt is a special car to me...did you have a modded 996tt? Like the things you like and dont like of each car.

It would be very interesting to know just how much difference the dual clutch transmission make with the GTR. It would seem like it would be quite large with almost no shift time and an extra cog in the box. I will be very interested to see what kind of performance difference there is on the 911 turbo once it gets PDK as an option.

R&D goes a long way in the long run. Nissan did their homework, but they also had the information to make a fast car because the skyline is technically not a new concept, just this current GTR is a 100% new platform.

It's really not rocket science, ok maybe it is. Heavy car, alot of power, great gearing, and a very efficient drivetrain. They didn't invent anything new they just applied what they learned over the evolution of the Skyline. I was hoping for a lighter car, heck I remember when the R34 was considered heavy ....

Rep Power: 58 How are some GTR’s running 125 mph + trap speeds with just a Cobb Tune and upgraded wastegates?? Even at 520 whp levels a 4000 lbs car (Driver included) cannot go that fast.
I am confused; can someone explain what other mods do these cars have?

Both cars are sick fast! Its the execution that is so different. I felt in the Porsche you always had to be totally "involved" while driving it. The GT-R can be too easy to drive agressively. I do at times miss the 6speed of the turbo. But the DCT tranny is instantaneous in its shifts. .02 secs! The brakes of the GT-R are far superior to the 996tt.

Hopefully your friend will let you drive his GT-R. let me know what you think.

That test was done by Car and Driver with a sick GT-R that also ran a putrid 12.6 1/4 mile at 111mph!
Not really the performance most of the owners are seeing stock from the car. Here is an automobile test with the new GT2 up to 150mph:

0-150mph:
Porsche GT2: 18.1 seconds
Nissan GT-R: 19.8 seconds

And BTW, 0-300 in >50 seconds?!?!?!? Did AutoBild pick up a sick car also?
GT-R may track fast, may launch very fast, but 3800+ lbs catches up fast too.
