2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500

  

2001 mustang v6 -> 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (5/22/2006 11:03:25 PM)

i was reading road and track and the shelby GT500 as you all know v8 supercharged 500 hp, when i came across the GTR and i noticed the specs claiming a v6 turboed pushin out 450 hp. how is v6 GTR pumpin out so close to the shelby and why isnt the shelby putting more hp out?????

you cant really compare those thats freakin skyline and a mustang....although hp might be the same they are totally different categories. And as far a the v6 pushing out 450 thats not unbelievable. The 350z pushes like 289 or something like that. Seeing as how its a GTR add all the high quality nissan and nismo stuff for performance and throw on a turbo and there you go. But regardless you cant compare. A mustang will always be a muscle car and a nissan will always be an import. Imports try to do all this electronic stuff to make a car faster while muscle cars just beef the engine up and usually have huge amounts of TQ because we throw big engines into massive cars.

yea i totally understand but i was just thinking about it and wondering what was up.

ThisBlood147 -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (5/23/2006 5:31:55 PM)

Tell ya what......check out what rpms the GTR makes its max power at and then compare that to the rpm level that the GT500 makes its max power at. That's the difference between a 400+hp V6 and a 400+hp V8........it's called Torque. hehe. Plus, you have to figure that the Nissan is a turbocharged car....vs. the GT500 which is a supercharged car. There will be differences there too, and if Ford had made the GT500 a turbocharged 5.4 V8 powered car instead of supercharged........you'd be looking at a 700 to 900hp monster[;)]

Well something that you have to realize is that the gtr is built and enginered for fast acceleration and the gt500 is mostly power and top speed so of course the gtr is going to be turbocharged. if it was super charged it would only push like 300-350 so mustang hands down

1996mustangGT -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (5/24/2006 3:36:12 PM)

yeah
the other thing to remember is that from what ive read the GTR is twin
turbo. another thing is that this is based of the design of the car that help the lap record of
Nubring (spelling) over the italian and german supercars.
that car is like the "holy grail" of rice-wanna-be-tuners.
but it still doesnt have a v8.....

Don't be surprised if you are surprised ... by the performance of the Nissan GTR Skyline. We haven't had a Japanese-made car of this caliber imported into the US, yet. It is one fast mother.

superiormirage -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (5/29/2006 10:16:09 PM)

Agreed. The older Skylines were monsters, and from what I've read, the new one will be no different. While I would never take one over a Mustang, they are nice cars.

zarins04stang -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (6/1/2006 2:19:48 AM)

what i want to know is how a RX8 1.3 liter engine makes close to 240 hp and my 04 mustang 3.9 liter makes only 193! HOW DAMN IT! DAMN THEM IMPORT MAKERS! ok now im juss hating

1996mustangGT -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (6/1/2006 8:24:09 AM)

because your v6 isnt near as high strung as the rx8's engine
is, also its a completley diffrent engine (rotory)(spelling)
that engine can rev to the point where any mustang engine would be
throwing up its internals...

The GT 500 will still be faster stock to stock.

Also realise that the GTR will come out running right on the ragged edge, and the GT 500 will come out a pully swap and tune away from 550+ WHP.

GT 500 > Rice

C6 VETTE -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (6/4/2006 4:06:34 PM)

Does anybody know the curb weight of the Nissan GTR?

dillsrotary -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (6/15/2006 10:08:23 PM)

the last production r34 skyline was about 3676lbs, so i'm guessing the new one will be close to that fiqure. but it will be a track monster with the new awd system imployed. the gt500 will be close numbers wise but the skyline might have the edge. now the z06 would make a good "compare" article. (or even the ford gt)

ThisBlood147 -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (6/16/2006 1:01:12 PM)

I personally don't look forward to the GTR hitting production. Even tho NONE of the ricers will EVER come CLOSE to owning one......you know that they're all gonna be pullin out the "yea........but the new Skyline would whip your ASS" routine whenever they get stomped by American muscle. It's like the Ricer Holy Grail, the GTR is.

Sephiroth -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (6/17/2006 12:48:25 AM)

The GTR is a heavy, comlicated machine. I honestly think it's AWD system, 4 Wheel Steering, and all it's other electronics are excessive.

The Shelby GT500 has much more room to grow with F/I, but it would help to cut some weight.

Dont worry they make less TQ, also the autos have less power

beastzilla02 -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (7/3/2006 12:05:57 AM)

i thought the gtr was twin turboed ?

If you really want to know the answer to this question, I highly suggest you check out Mazda's RX8 site and see how the rotary engine works. It's completely different than your piston driven V6. So much less rotating mass, and very few moving parts. The rotary engine really is quite amazing. But, then again, it's still a ricer.

fallfast90 -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (7/11/2006 3:12:52 PM)

a couple of things i would like to say. The rotary engine may be nice and all, but its obviously not that much superior to regular piston cars, if they were, there would b a lot more rotary engine cars out there, and the other thing is the gt500 is like 45,000, where the gtr is gonna be atleast 70,000 thats all that is said about that.

glimmer -> RE: 2007 Nissan GTR vs. 2007 Shelby GT500 (7/16/2006 3:08:55 AM)

In 2008 the next generation GTR will be coming to your shore and unless your driving in a straight line you will be looking at the back of this car.
