Looks like the holy graly of super cars the Nissan GT-R cant even get around a SRT4. On top of that its getting its ass kicked by the new Dodge challanger on of all things the WET SKID PAD.

:dw: No car drives itself. To get the most out of any car, you need a competent driver.........you know, a DRIVER MOD?

Yeah wait a minute don't they allow modifications to the cars used at One Lap of America plus they all had different drivers. If thats the case then this proves nothing.

your right a fully moded HRR is way better then a GTR.

I must have posted this on the Nissan web site i am sorry:dw:

So you don't think nissan America made sure to have a driver in the car? Prolly just handed it over to some joe blow. If you are running in the one lap you no doubt have some driver skills. it's a ton of money to do and most the people who do run it go and do track days at the tracks before hand. And we are talking mostly SCCA lic. drivers.

Don't get all happy just cuz an SRT-4 delivered some great results at the track there .

Guess that 7:29 on the Ring is irrelevant, huh? Sure sounds like "epic fail" to me.

 

[dasmopar]

Motor trend noted many times over that time was run by a nissan driver who helped with all the testing of the car on the ring. Lets see what happens when the Magazines start driving the car just like all the other cars that have times listed for the ring.

 

[ScareCrow]

Is there even just regular fail anymore , or is it all " epic " nowadays ?

 

[About2bite]

Where is that Ford GT at in the rankings?

 

[black Robra]

[tincan]

ovrall, i think this thread is fail except for this drivers name: "Hugh D. Bate" :lol1:

 

[quad]

Well, looks like the driver of the GTR, Tony Swan, has a lot of experience:

[BelvedereGTX]

[snakecharmer]

Epic fail? More like Epic UGLY. That thing is in my top 5 most hideous cars of all time. I wouldn't have it if you gave it to me.
