Vid actually doesnt prove a thing. I've seen miatas with bad ass drivers overtaking vettes, vipers, porsches...

I'm a big fan of the GTR. But this vid, of some guy being waved by, doesnt prove its track prowess, not that it needs to prove anything, it already has.

Your right. The car has proven what kind of transmission Nissan gives you for $90k and that an American Sports car for $10-20k less can do just as much in the corners and even more in the straights.

Lol... No hating here.. Just can't seem to figure out why people think the GTR is all that great. I think money could be better spent but that is just my opinion.

I recently sold my 03 Cobra to get a C6 Z06. I have an aquaintance that apparently is considering selling his Viper for a GTR. I will get some video and show you the difference a driver can make......

If anyone actually thinks a 480hp ~3800# AWD car can beat (equal drivers) a 505hp ~3100# car on any non-autocross course, you must have been sleeping during physics class.

Nissan got caught red handed inflating their numbers, so the GTR's claims are all b.s. to me.

Do you have anymore detail on Nissan inflating the GTR's numbers?

judging by our logic 25psi, looks like the C5 Z was in the lead of those two Z vettes at the end, that MUST mean.....

C5Z > C6Z.

i always wondered about that matchup, this vid clears it up, thks

I'm to poor to own a vehicle.

Next time, keep your personal fantasies to yourself.

x2 so true..lmao

I am not a huge fan of the GTR, but I do think that these cars were built for the road coarses and not the drag strip. The trannies being broken were used with VDC off and there is only so much a car with AWD car with a brand new tranny can take, give the car some time, I am hoping they come out with a lighter, more powerful version with a getrag 6 speed (similar to the one in the R34's). If not then I will still continue to say that this car was built to go around a track fast and that is it.
