Wow. Well any skepticism about how fast this car really was is pretty much squashed. I definitely think the power is severely underrated still from what Nissan says, but who cares! This is the second fastest car around the Nurburgring in the world now, and when the V-Spec comes out it will likely beat the Zonda F, which completely blows my mind.

The Nissan GT-R can now lay claim to being one of the fastest production cars in the world after GT-R chief test driver Tochio Suzuki completed the famous Nurburgring circuit in Germany in just 7 minutes 29 seconds. According to our records, this puts the GT-R in second place for fastest laps by unmodified production cars just behind the Pagani Zonda F which posted a time of 7 minutes and 27 seconds last November. The time completely destroys the GT-R's previous best lap of 7 minutes 38 seconds achieved last year in slightly damp conditions.

Kazutoshi Mizuno, Chief Vehicle Engineer for GT-R said “At last year’s testing, we were frustrated by the conditions at the Nürburgring, always believing that the GT-R could go under seven minutes 30 seconds, the GT-R proves it is among the fastest mass-production cars in the world. We set out to build a multi-performance supercar accessible to anyone, anytime and anywhere – I believe the GT-R has delivered that promise.�

The world can now look forward to a response from the GT-R's main competitor, the Porsche 911 Turbo whose best time stands at a lowly 7 minutes and 40 seconds.[/align]

I don't think the power is underrated.. (given results on the 1/4 tracks I've seen)... It's simply the NSX of this decade... only with power to support its handling ability.

I've seen dyno charts that say otherwise... but you know what they say about dynos! ;)

sick.......

Have links to the dyno results?

I do, but I'm way too lazy to find them right now haha... I think I actually posted up a thread here in this section with some, if you doa search you'll probably find it.

Some slightly messed up figures there.

The Carrera GT is between the Zonda and the GTR still so that would make it the 3rd fastest production car. Yet the Britis still remain on top of the leader board with the fastest road legal car around the ring. Not quite as comfy or practical as the GTR but who the hell cares about those qualities?

Whatever its still hideous and missing a pedal

Definitely kick ass results.. lol 2nd in the world behind the Pagani? jeebus.. Though I'm waiting to see what the GT2's response is going to be.. Definitely wouldn't count on Porsche sitting around quietly while Nissan usurps their title. lol

im not impress at all :D, cuzi knew this car was gonna break a few records

Your right..I found a few charts...looks like it's making 500ish hp (crank)... low 400s at the tires... must be that weight killing the traps or something... especially considering they appear to be a cakewalk to launch... Hmmm.. have to wait to see more results pour in...

Makes me wonder how Porsche's newest GT2 will stack up with its 530 hp...

Too bad it looks like a small japanese car....If they are going to do something crazy why not do something crazy?

Great car - I am sure I will run into as many of them as I do Enzos.........

I seem to remember one dyno I saw that showed 485 at the wheels too, who knows what was going on there though.

What time does the CGT have?

I saw one time for the CGT at 7:32 and another at 7:28... I don't know which is right or which is confirmed.

technically, it's 7th for street-legal cars

1. Radical SR8: 6:55
2. Radical SR3 Turbo: 7:12
3. Donkervoort D8 RS: 7:14 (higher HP model)
4. Donkervoort D8 RS: 7:18
5. Pagani Zonda F Clubsport: 7:27.82
6. Porsche Carrera GT: 7:28
7. Nissan GT-R: 7:29


still gotta admit, the GT-R is one badass car for what it is. but i still think that there is too much technology in that car. i'd still take a 993 GT2 over a GT-R any day of the week (or a 993 GT2 powered 914, which would kick even more ass;))

Wake me up when you see one on the street.;)

what, the GT-R or the Radical?? i've already seen the SR3 on the street before, he drove to the auto-x test and tune for this year.

The new GT-R.

I looooooooooove the GTR. One of my friends has more money than he knows what to do with. He has owned cars that we only dream about, and still gets....bored...anyhow I've convinced him to order (his name is currently on the list) a silver GTR. I am certain that after he puts 50 or so thousand into it it will be THE street car in Vancouver. Yeah that's right Doc. Rogers you rice hater, it will have the capacity to cornhole your C6 Z06 (which I love) a new ****locker in every facet of performance. And that goes for the new Viper too. This GTR is for real, and when the tuning community get at it it will be even more beastly still. Beware, and tread lightly Doc...

$50k into a $75k car? It better be a world beater.

Don't make me chew you pal. My friend has owned the LP640 and sold it due to the fact that it was too big and hard to drive fast. $125K is peanuts to him provided (as I'm sure it will) it be a dominant machine. PM if you'd like to further discuss my level of stupidity... And for the record, would that 50K show it's teeth better in a GTR than a Z06? I'm willing to gamble that it would. It's not so much that I love the GTR as I think you're a bonesmoker right now....

And I'm pretty sure Mr. Rogers would understand that 50K into a GTR would rape his Z and laugh at them even being compared. I'm sure as a fellow C6 Z06 owner you've seen what the GTR is capable of. It's nothing personal.This goes back to a seperate matter in which there's still a misunderstanding. If my last post was the most stupid you've ever read than you don't read enough around here...

It will get me from a dig, no doubt..but after that it's smooth sailing. I'll be walking that thing before I shift out of 3rd..

Again I'm not worried.

I have already gave the GTR it's props, though I'd rather buy a GT2.


But since you like predicting the outcomes of cars that you don't have, racing against other cars that you don't have, how do you predict the GT2 vs GTR match up ending?

Maybe if you toss your rich friends salad, he'll let you drive one of his fast cars..then you be able to feel like a winner for once:)

I am so inept....

I have no idea what 500+ HP feels like,,

I do...just road in a turbo ls2 setup today...6xxrwhp / 7xxrwtrq... (not sure of the exact numbers...but it was just over 600 and just over 700 I was told....

I honestly can't comprehend what was going on...

I mean no harm. I'm surprised at my reception...

He looked at the GT2. Throwing 50K at theGTRseemed to be the more intelligent way to go when bang for the buck came into play. 70+50=GT2 eater last I checked...he can have a "look at my wicked new car party" for 100 and still come out ahead. GTR all the way BABY...

LOL.. I don't know what you're smoking but your posts are some funny sh!t.. stop bein such an abrasive nissan leg-humper and you MIGHT be more well received.. :eek:

BTW, I think it'll have some competition once Aston Martin fields the V12 Vantage RS in 09.. ;)Maybe not quite the corner hugging ability of the nissan, but less technology, a LOT more style, and certainly more luxury. But since we're talking perfromance, and the fact that the GTR's are fairly well priced as supercars anyway, I think I'll stick with the S7 and the 40th anniversary GT40 thank you.. Granted those would probably still have their asses handed to them by a CGT or a 911 GT2 on the 'ring, but they're good enough for me.

that amazes me that it is that quick around the ring...personally, my money wouldn't go towards a GTR...b/c if I had the money for a GTR, I would try and pull off the GT2...just not my type of car I guess :eek:

Im down at Nissan the day they come out!!! I just want to sit in one for a few minutes!!! I know 0-60 discussion is gay but 3.3 is a goof!!!
And lets not forget that nobody keeps their GTR stock. Most R34 V-Specs in Japan run800 to 1,000 horsies with a yawn. On Streetfire, there is a vid of a 1,000 hp R32 doing a 0-180 run..........one of the sickest ass vids Ive ever seen. How sick? launching around 7,000 rpm!!!!

The GTR and the GT2 are miles apart $ wise, it's not even close. But it matters not...I just reread all my drunk posts and appologize. I still think the GTR is the way to go but if my posts don't make sense credibility is lost. The GTR is going to run about 100K in Canada before the modding starts. Another 50K into that thing and it will be the epitome of a street/track car. And for half the price of his old Murcielago and for mounds less than a GT2. But it's not a Porsche. So ****ing what.Once you get past the pedigree and realize that it will perform better for less, and look far more exotic weeping it'strack prowess ( I mean how discernable is a GT2 to the average hump?)the whole equation gets easier. The bottom line is, if I was asked what I'd prefer to blast around a road course for an hour in, a GT2 or a meniacle GTR with 50K well thought out dollars into it I would choose the GTR faster than a rabbit gets ****ed. Meh, maybe it's the boy racer in me. Or the desire to go faster better...;)

Uh oh, scandal! Modified suspension, cut slicks, a flying start, and a disputed start/finish. Those issues alone account for at least five seconds around the 'Ring.

http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/the-truth-about-the-nissan-gt-r-and-the-nurburgring-lap-record/

GT-R is just a plain sick car. I saw one on the las vegas blvd yesterday and damn was it nice!

Over hyped turd!

The car looks great on paper, and the times it is getting are great, but all I have to do is look at its body and I know I would never consider buying one. When spending that much money it no longer becomes about who is faster(for me at least), but more about who has more class, and the GTR looks like a 350z or 'roids. Id rather have a Z06 or Porsche or any of its other slower but more attractive competitors. I will give credit where credit is due and say that it is one hell of a performer and has more technology in it than I could ever figure out how to use

ZR1 anybody? Have there been any official lap times yet? I've heard of 7.40 flat in testing (I think it was wet in the video I've seen) but any more recent news?

beat ya to it in OT[8D]

There's OT on this site??? Never ventured outside of S/S;)

I've been pretty impressed with the GTR.The looks can kind of grow on you after a while and I imagine, like already stated, the aftermarket modding will make these things world beater beasts.I guess we'll have to wait and see how a stock GTR compares with the new vette ZR1. That baby sounds and looks wicked.

No matter how much I try not to like Aston Martins, I just can't help but love the vantage V12.
