Very impressive.

I'm guessing these are the type of #'s we'll see when the GT-R V-Spec comes out.

Not so much of a problem thus far.

LONDON — Nissan says it has taken a year's worth of orders — more than 1,500 — from European customers for the new GT-R, which won't reach dealers until next March.

In the meantime, the initial allocation of 2008 GT-Rs is sold out in the U.S., where the first cars should start arriving in July. Nissan said it has already taken orders for 60 percent of next year's U.S. allocation.

In Europe, much of the demand is coming from the U.K., where Nissan presold 950 GT-Rs in the first month. The order book officially opened on April 2.

Nissan said GT-Rs will be delivered to European customers through 56 Nissan High Performance Centres, which will pamper owners with such perks as free pickup for scheduled service, a vacation planning service and even a "home assistance" program that will provide access to plumbers, locksmiths, electricians and other services.

What this means to you: If you don't hustle in your GT-R order soon, you may wind up waiting until model-year 2010. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent

So it runs identical times with more boost and a major aftermarket ECU mod as that one article that everyone called 'massaged'

So this does indeed confirm, the GTR that was being reviewed that ran a 124mph several months ago, was indeed a fraud and modified from the factory. Thanks for the confirmation.

This car never ceases to amaze me.

Good job for Haltech for cracking it in just one week. I am just curious, as with all ECU-jobs on turbo cars, is to how this affects reliability a couple years down the road. It seems as if motors today are not ridiculously over-built hunks of cast iron as in the days of the Supras and R34's.
