The one in MT just ran an 11.5@124mph. 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. This with a car weighing a little less than 2tons. Impressive for only having 480 horses. But this was a pre-production test mule though.

I hope they do underrate it. Makes it that more appealing. More is always better .

Hmm, imagine an AWD ZR1...

It would weigh 3800 pounds, at least...

That might be possible. But I don't see anyone with a ZR1 trailering a GTR down the track anytime soon

I certainly appreciate the performance/bang for the buck that the Nissan offers. I'd still take the Z06 though as it would be a better fit for what I'd use it for. It'd make a great bracket car with some drag radials on the back. I'd imagine it's much more durable than the Nissan in that enviroment. Give me the Z06 please.

That was on drag radials, and I'll bet that a 10.8 is doable on the Nissan with drag radials as well. I don't think it would trap 129 though.

if you want a bracket car why would you choose the rwd manual car? this makes no sense.

I've always raced manual cars. Quite frequently i make no sense.At least that's what my wife says.

Erm...Tens on runflats FTW?

And the GTR will hardly notice drag radials, you can't control launch RPM so you can't drop it from a higher RPM since your on DR's. I doubt the car does more than bark a tire in "Launch Control" mode. 3800lbs+AWD...

Durability is definitely up there to question, considering what I've read about the trans tunnel getting very hot after a few launches in "Launch Control" mode...

But it is still a badass-handling car. The numbers it has put up are amazing.
