It's obvious TRD Fantasy doesn't like Nissan or the GT-R for that matter and will always find a way to bring it down no matter what but that's ok it's a free country and he's entitled to his own opinion. I love the Supra and the 2jzgte but I give the GT-R it's respect. The dig launches in those videos are incredible and while I believe a 800hp supra will beat that 800hp GT-R up top the Supra will get left from a dig initially.

I guess when people have no real arguments or content to discuss they just resort to name calling 
.
For the record, I DO NOT hate the GT-R. I think it's a wonderful achievement, and I have given and will continue to give credit to it where credit is due.
What I hate are certain enthusiasts who act as if the GT-R is some sort of godly, unstoppable machine that has no equal, that can beat any superbike or supercar thrown in it's way.

No one even said anything about how godly the GT-R is. Most everyone said that particular GT-R was fast which is true.
The response is no different than those when Supra/Viper videos are posted.
It's amazing to most people because this car weighs a porky 4000lb (stock). Even if the bike pulls on it slowly, we'll still all be damn impressed considering it's racing against a Busa.

A stock GT-R weighs anywhere from 3814-3829 lbs depending on package and trim (from Nissanusa.com).
A stock MK4 Supra turbo weighs about 3450 lbs.
So that is roughly a 400lbs difference between both cars stock, but the GT-R has much more power than a Supra as well as AWD so less traction issues.
Particularly when you get into the realm of modded Supras and modded GT-Rs, AWD will help with traction, as high-HP Supras tend to have traction and launch issues.
That was definitely an impressive video to see, but my point is that a modded GT-R is far from the first modded car to take out a Busa. Modded MK4 Supras were doing this years ago, so why shouldn't a modded GT-R be able to do the same?
That is why, to me, this is not overly impressive.

You gain traction but lose out on drivetrain drag so it's not necessarily a win-win for the GT-R. But despite it, it's still hanging in there.
No one even said the GT-R was the first modded cars to take on Busas. We all know Supras and Vipers have been there and done that before. Hell muscle cars were here long before Supras were yet it's okay to drool over a bike-pulling Supra?
All I know is that anything that keeps up with a Busa, let alone a bike, is impressive whether it be a GT-R, Supra, or even a baby stroller. Let the Switzer P800 have it's moment because it deserves it.

no one said it was unbeatable, and there was no name calling at all.
if anything, there's more posts on the internets poking fun at the gt-r's tranny than singing its praises.
haters, they gonna hate.

Very very very few cars are capable of that.
0-60 on this particular car is 2.8 secs. I am saying this in case you are thinking 'well supras can do the same' no, any supra that can keep up with a superbike is most likely to be very laggy and is likely to be a top end car.
2JZ GTEs are amazing engines, but VR35s are on a different level, of course that's because its a brand new technology, when 2JZs are decades old.

Once again, Bud, this particular car (Switzer P800 package) not only keeps up with super-bikes, but it can also be taken to a road course, as is and then be daily driven, because it drives just like stock.
Very very very few cars are capable of that.

A stock GT-R ........
