Default 2010 HKS Nissan GTR

http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/ca...0-hks-gt-r-r35

Unbelievable! I love modding cars but honestly IMHO if I had the money I would buy this car in a millisecond! 0-60 in 3 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 11.1 at a hair under 129mph. 0-100 in 6.8 seconds! This car is crazy...anyone would feel like a race car driver in this thing. HKS does it again!!! and to think...this is only the Stage 1 with the STOCK turbos!

It would be very hard to beat a tuned GT-R. funny remember all the hoopla that Nissan didn't want anyone to mod it?

Yeah, seriously! I mean...those a Pagani Zonda figures! Forget Zo6 or even the ZR1...far superior in acceleration however it probably just closely matches these cars in handling (I heard the Zo6 and ZR1 handle amazingly with their magnetic ride control suspension).

Close to getting into the 10's mark in the 1/4 mile in a showroom new car for $100K...that's a great deal IMHO! I also like that they said it doesn't even sound like a GTR...but more italian-like; AWESOME!

The SPI packages seem less costly - the P800 package only costs a couple thousand more than the GT600+intercooler kit and offers far more performance, although I'm not sure if SPI offers a transmission/clutch cooling upgrade that may make the HKS system more reliable. We'll see what HKS does with the Stage 2, although I'm sure it'll be a lot more expensive.

Power is great, light weight is even greater. take off 500lbs. of that monster and it'll perform like magic. Especially in corners. The suspension is good as of now, just image what some 'Jenny Craig' would do for it! 500hp with 3300lbs is enough to keep up with almost anything. An exhaust system plus intercooler kit would bump it to 550HP easily.
