At the end of the day theyre both awesome cars though, Look at 1:00 onwards, the guys talk about the vspec and the unofficial 7:25 second laps.This is an older video though, as i say it's not official yet but it's looking at low 7:20 area.
Then so be it if that is true. Try not to be offended if I don't blindly believe you. The physics don't add up at all. I watched several street videos, several magazine test videos, reviewed the specs of each, and there is nothing adding up to what Nissan keeps claiming about the GTR. It was smoked in just about every department as far as documentaion goes, but that didn't surprise anyone I don't think. It's 4K lbs and simply not enough HP/TQ to make the boat move out like a ZR-1 can.
IT did actually smash its original record of 7:38, simply by using a better driver. It's current best time is 7:29 and the vspec has smashed that. Expect low 7:22 area.
no. Thats not right. Stock GTR did not do a 7:29. It did 7:38, and I bet it wasn't showroom stock at that because there was speculation that race tires were added, as well as a tune of some sort. Nissan did everything possible to fudge the stats of this car for marketing purposes. Because others have pulled off at best 7:41 showroom stocker GTR. The GTR V-Spec will do well to make 7:29. I'd be surprised to see anything faster than that. I'm no expert on THAT car, but I do know physics well.
mercedes reliability is about= to honda, 2nd to toyota, wich is the most reliable
The Spec V will do a 7.20? did you even listen what was said up above, listen again!!
Rofl. The engine was built in detroit. Tuned over here by Cosworth before they became cosworth, the body was designed by us and as you said, the transmission.
you are so full of shit i bet your eyes are brown. the trans and brakes are all that is from europe. cosworth had nothing to do with the GT40. the whole car was designed and built in detroit. you know we built something great though when you nutlickers attempt to take credit for it.
Everything was English you bonce. Alot of it was made by Cosworth before they actually became Cosworth. (Cos and Worth)
Bmw, Audi, Mercedes Benz.
"Build quality, reliability and general pleasure of the car, something that you will NEVER beat the Europeans are"-do you really wanna compare reliability with domestics when ferarri and lamborghini are two of the lowest scoring manufacturers in reliability-that junk breaks down constantly.
the brakes and trans are all europe had in the GT40-all the rest is ford and saleen dumbass.
wow that's a dumbass show, the stock gtr did a 7:29 and the spec v will do 7:20! faster than the friggin viper acr!
What? The? Hell? Are? You? Talking? About?
now that is an overstatement, dont't forget the japanese my big ass ego eurotalkingshit friend...
American cars get pooped on. Peace.
If it weren't for a fellow German named Karl Benz,your FOrd wouldn't have invented the line. Big egotistical people like you are a shame to Americans.
Wow 304teddy the ultimate racist dishing anything not american is on here as well...
funny that when your fanboy ass has no other arguement for his pos car he has to bring up the american car industry. wanna make a monetary bet on wether or not GM and FORD will be fine?
Funny you shoud say that while American car industry is dying.
edmunds in house gtr-one they purchased from a dealership rather than the ringer GTR nissan delivers for comparison can only muster a 12.0 quarter with a 3.9 0-60 using launch control. they have already had to replace the tranny and say in the owners manual there are six seperate slots to document six transmission repalcements-instead of beefing up the trans to thwart failures they beefed up the owners manual to cover many replacements-way to go boys!
If it wasnt for a European the car wouldnt exist.
ford wanted to kick ferarris ass and it woudve got done brits or not. "But you see, whereas the mini really had nothing to do with the Americans, the GT40 was mostly done by us English and if it wasnt for the GT40 there would be no GT"-if that were true then all european production cars owe their existence to ford who invented the production line.
But you see, whereas the mini really had nothing to do with the Americans, the GT40 was mostly done by us English and if it wasnt for the GT40 there would be no GT.
"The whole idea of the Ford GT comes from England. The GT40 was built and designed i England..."-how are we americans not supposed to have huge egos with you nutswingers constantly attempting to take credit for what we have done-i mean how many americans shout "we built the mini" while having no hand in it. |
