GT-R underrated?

[Mook]

the awd and all the gadgets jack the weight way up sadly

without sounding like a sackrider, its a technological triumph, but it comes at a heavy (zing!) cost

'gadgets'

all the electronics that manage the slick 4WD and power distrubution, launch control, adj. shocks, I'm sure all add weight somewhere.

its a piece of junk

I want a junk car as a daily

 

[PANDA]

meh, lol. 450 hp 3800 lb calculates to ~11's, so I guess its just as expected.

According to this: http://robrobinette.com/et.htm

mid 12's - 450 crank (as rated)

i'm gonna start deleting your posts. just letting you know...if you're going to use the same line to thread crap over and over, i'm done putting up with it. it was funny for awhile now its just annoying.

ps: how long did it take you to get home yesterday?

Damn they just be pulling all kinds of numbers out of there ass then.

 

[Mook]

480 crank has been the "official" number from nissan since they announced the US final info....i'm not surprised its underrated...so were the camaro's for example and all the previous skylines before this one

thems some nice numbers

 

[Fish]

cars are usually under rated for CAFE and insurance purposes most of the time. Hell, people were dynoing 320+ WHP on a 305HP rated engine. (the LS1).

[mythbuster style] Plausable [/mythbuster style]

 

[IDAFC21]

god that fish still creeps me the hell out. but appropriate av for you

 

[Mook]

well i guess no one credible dynoed it so those numbers dont mean shit

not that i really want to bump this crap factory of a thread but at least this answers your question

Big thanks to Rob and the gang at perfect touch for the chance to put the 35 on their awesome Dastek 4wd dyno.

My car is totally factory standard, standard boost and run in

Official word is 'Its maximum power is 480 PS (473bhp) (353 kW) at 6400rpm'


We decided to try out BP Ultimate 102 unleaded, (which is still pump fuel).... 520 bhp @ 6,617

Thats pretty impressive for just changing octane, and no tuning.

I was with rodger today in LITH and ran into a kid that had a r33 he was driving around. he might show up at the dyno day.

 

[Mook]

silver?

ive met a guy with a silver r33, a black r34 and ive saw a bayside blue r34 vspecII in indy at the f1 race

 

[Mook]

oh and please tell me you mentioned the site

 

[TURBOC1]

yes it was silver, the bad part is the kid was 18. The car is alittle ruff, but with work it would be nice. I tried to trade the hatch for it.

 

[TURBOC1]

ya we told him about the site.
