[Retrochink]

Its taken by my digital camera. The writeup isnt that clear to read but most importantly are the pictures that counts right

 

 

 

if im infringing any copyright issues or etc, mods can kindly remove the pics. thanks

Read the reviews...nice but honestly, I m getting sick of the same review given to this car by all publications and journalist. Nissan created a mechanical monster...

[Watwheels]

There are hordes of car journalist for different mag all around the world, I dun think everyone of them get to test drive one. So just copy & paste.

 

Anyway I'll wait for JC from topgear to whack it against another supercar.

[Corgan]

Which should be JC in the GTR and hamster in the 911 Turbo.

[Friendstar]

and james may in his fiat panda

[Kenmical]

I m looking forward to that too...against the Veyron hopefully.

[Rtth84]

should race against R8 and gallardo.

[Corgan]

that would be a sight.. example between a normal car and the GTR.

 

But actually Captain Slow owns a 911 as well. He just drives slow.

[Friendstar]

can the GT-R beat a veyron on a track?

 

is a veyron even good on a track?

i thought its just a gran tourer.

 

but GT-R versus veyron will be an eye opener

[Kenmical]

tats is the question i will like to find out!!!

 

They always show how fast the veyron is but nvr show it's track capabilities. I will like to see how fast it really is.

[Mingsect]

forget abt torque and topgear singapore edition

 

save the $$ and go for http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/ and topgear uk version.

might cost a few bucks more.

 

these mags especially cars

have the cons get listed and most importantly the articles are wrote by people whom really testdrove the vehicles .. for more than a few hours .

[Retrochink]

Yes, the GTR was tested on the Nurburgring track against the veyron already and it clocked a 7.38 which is 2 sec faster than the veyron!

 

This is the link to the official GTR track time clip

 

 

this is the list of timing for other cars quoted from a website. GTR is really a giant slayer on the tracks! cant wait to see how the V-spec will perform next year

[Porker]

should race against R8 and gallardo.

 

Forget the Awwwdeee. Gallardo Superleggera is the one to compare against. Oh the 997 GT2 as well.

 

My friend's comments (owner's perspective) --> Very quick. Hard to beat on track and in straight line accelerations. Soul??? None whatsoever. Just a very fast car. A value-for-$$$ car with supercar performance but without the supercar character

[Rtth84]

hmm supercar slayer? havent compete with ferrari yet. or the M5.

 

M5 half the price of the F430 and faster.

[Relagsingh]

its really a playstation on wheels this time.

 

a tech marvel this thing is....

[Relagsingh]

M5 faster than F430?

 

or you mean M5 faster than GTR?

[Rtth84]

tested quite some time ago. M5 faster than F430 on the track. Autocar Mag UK.

[Corgan]

I would hardly consider a M5 to be a supercar.

 

But dont mistaken me, I really like the M5. Its a superb piece of engineering like the GTR

 

In a straight line drag shown on Best Motoring (Feb edition i think), the GTR even outdragged a Garllardo Superleggera for the 0-400m event. Although it could be said that it only won by a hair length and the difference could be attributed to the different reaction times of the drivers.
