The GTR goes back to the Ring

[Mook]

The Battle for top honors at the Nordschleife continues, with yet another revised 'Ring time for the Nissan GT-R. After a second day of testing, Nissan claims that the 2010 model hacked off nearly a second from its time on Wednesday, delivering an unofficial lap of 7:26.7 – a mere four-tenths of second behind the Corvette ZR1's official time and just over a second slower than the Ferrari Enzo. As always, unofficial times should be taken with the appropriate amount of NaCl, and the way things are going, we expect Porsche (or GM) to fire back, at which point Nissan may finally release the GT-R SpecV's lap time.

NaCl is da bomb. But seriously, not in for stupidly expensive vehicles.

DO.

NOT.

WANT.

I really dont give a shit what these cars run at the ring. I doubt there is a single owner, of either car, who can come within 10 seconds of those times.

Spec V >ZR-1

 

[Mook]

i very much doubt it. imo, not enough was done to the V to warrant any substantial time improvements

 

[PANDA]

mook doubts it

ZR1> .........

If the GTR is only 4 tenths off the ZR1, and over a second off the Enzo, it would appear to me the Enzo > ZR1.

since the price of an enzo could get you 6-10 ZR1's I think there should be more than 1 second difference......

nissan is a bunch of liars

It is still faster.

didnt the ACR do it in 7:22?

 

[bluzohh6]

it doesn't matter even if it did because Chrysler is bankrupt

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

they will still be producing cars afterwards...though i dont know if the viper is one of them.
