That's an interesting vid.  Would have liked to have seen it over a mile run.  The ferrari was deffo catching the Nissan.

Me old ibiza would kick a 12.5 with a terminal of 126mph.

The GTR got away great.. its all in the start, do it again and wont the GTR get away even better - doesn't have some trickery where it learns from the previous start and makes it better (or was that a different car)

Not sure on the GT-R but that's a party trick of the 458 Italia.

Thats the fella, so maybe the 458 would get better and match it then eventually take it...

GTR does well though for a datsun.

Quickest car in a straightline for sure I reckon just watching from the sidelines.

LFA or 458 for me, reckon I would be right at home with either of those two round a track!

Post by: Bernhard30 on September 12, 2011, 11:29:03 pm
After the line up was described my bet was on the 458, but that Nissan really dug it's claws in and launched well.
Far play to it beating the yellow Fezza.

(no one mention that nissan subsidises the costs out their own pockets, shhhhhhh)

A 997 turbo s PDK would have won this race easy if it was there

I still reckon the GTR is awesome though, and for £35k for a decent second hand one, I doubt you can go faster for less! 

Unless its wet!  From experience the hard compund tyres they come with are a pig to get up to temp in the wet and they make wet acceleration interesting to say the least!

Comparing a GTR against most of the others is unfair really, it costs half the price, has twice the seats (fits your golf clubs in the boot  :happy2:) and still beats them all  :happy2:

For £35K used, not much will live with it, let litchfield fettle it and a anything this side of a Veyron will struggle  :signLOL:

Maybe not the best "drivers" car, but it's a serious street weapon

If it was a rolling start I reckon the mustang would have beat the GTR. Take the launch out the equation and it's not as quick as these type of races make it seem. My mates hybrid 996 turbos still pull on my other mates Svm 650r GTR from a rolling race.

The terminal speeds would certainly confirm that (although not a lot in it considering the power difference). However, it would need to be well over 100 mph before it started to claw anything back at all and not everyone wants/can do that..

Those Mustang's are quick, but so so heavy.. I went up against a 500+bhp S/C'd one at Pod a few years back when my ED30 was only Stage 2. I had a sh*te start/crap run and remember thinking to myself "Game Over", but much to my amazement I nipped him on the line..  :surprised:

Agreed, if those Yank tanks aint made out of plastic they are made out of Pig Iron and damn heavy, I dont see the Boss getting anywhere near the GTR in a straight line and as for corners.................. :signLOL:

A guy at my last golf club has a GTR (61 plate), offered me a drive, but never got time before I moved house, hopefully when I am back up there in October I will give him a call!, I followed out of the GC car park and up the main road and he gunned it from 40mph, I stood no chance even with 316hp, so quick standard, cannot imagine what they are like with 650-1000hp
