what will he say next?!?!
POS GTR takes a crap at a track....priceless.
- Thread starter Sonik Blur
- Start date
I can't see how.
Z06 is cheaper, faster in a straight line, and on a real track with real street tires, it's just as fast!
Some cobra owners beating some GTR ass like a drunk prom date!
25psi, you go to realize that the majority of the people on this site that are bashing the GTR actually like or love Skylines in general they just state what they see, and what we're seeing is a flawed and overrated car. If this car was a real evolution of the R34 it would have been badass but Nissan really screwed it up by putting too much technology in it for the US. We like technology here but we like hp more and cars that can put it down reliably and efficiently for the most impressive times.
You have to expect the reaction you're getting as every time you post you are trying to rub it in everyone's faces. Face it the GTR is not going to beat the Corvette or Mustang at it's own game, they've been doing longer than Nissan has been around! Nissan had a car that competed in the past Skylines but they seemed to have taken a step backwards when they tried to cram a bunch of technology into a car to try and impress everyone.

Finally, a smart post.
you do realize that most of the guys that are running IRS that are on all of the top lists...aren't built...riiiight?! they do the necessary work to help prevent wheel hop, of which SLICKS are included, and a lot of those guys don't break. and when they do, it's not a $20K transmission it's a $150 halfshaft lmao...which can be changed in an hour.
take that as you may, but every car is going to have it's weak spots. HOWEVER, not being able to use "Launch Control" on a "performance-oriented" vehicle without voiding warranty or blowing it the **** up is just plain stupid engineering to me. The stock half-shafts of a Terminator weren't meant to take 600+HP and (nice round number for average) 3500-3600lbs. 60' in 1.5 seconds. However, if i drop ANY money on a car, and that bitch won't hold together from using something to help me drive the car better...it's useless and not worth what was paid for it.
Yes something may break, but it wouldn't be a 14k tranny! :beer:
I have to agree on this one. I'd toss in the ZR-1 monster, but the price of admission is too high. ;-)
Wow. The hate in these threads are unbelieveable.
All of us that race, whether it be quarter mile or ORC, have broken something at one point or another. Shit happens that none of us can control.
If someone were to hand me the keys to a GTR I would take in a second as I am sure most of you in this thread would.
Seems that PSI is stirring the pot and he is catching a lot of fish.
It is clearly obvious why this transmission failed. With a name like Samurai Speed, why wouldn't it fail.
Are Samurais known for their speed? :shrug:

10.5@128 is definately making the most out of that MPH, thats encroaching bugatti veyron territory almost 20 mph off the pace. Can't hate on that... buuuuutttttt....
If you don't want anybody comparing their rudimentary drivetrains to the almighty GTR's, don't bring up the direct comparison in the first place
yeah its stock...... wow ur smart
yeah havent started to mod it yet. nice observation columbo!!!! svtp board not gtr.

GTR tranny=FAIL
What you guys dont realize is the fact that Nissan designed the GTR with the slightest of tollerances. It is litterally built on the razors edge. The slightest change to the car could produce a massive catastrophic system failure. If you notice, the car seemed to run and launch fine. I think it was the added weight of 25psi hanging on it's nuts that was the breaking point.
Why are people quik to put down this car,mustangs dont break? all cars break.
Ive had mustangs since 87 and and love them ive had too cobras 99 and 03.The GT-R is a very nice car and im sure like anything nissan or the after market will figure it out.Not trying to start anything.

So you're a self-proclaimed e-thug?
That's freaking awesome, LOL.
When your mustang breaks at the track how much does it cost on average to fix it? You could blow your motor, transmission, and rear end and still get it fixed for less than the trans on the GTR...the one that breaks when you use the performance buttons that NISSAN INSTALLED.
