Default GT-R vs Veyron Run

I was surprised they actually did this when it looked like it was raining or had just rained. But the outcome was definately surprising.

Sorry if its a repost.

That is amazing! I really wasn't expecting the GT-R to even do that.

heavily modded GTR or there's something way wrong with the Bugatti... my buddies Z06 that makes 468 hp at the wheels walks away from stockish GTR's from a roll all day long...

Yeah i did assume it was a modded GT-R but to pull away like that from a Veyron is still pretty amazing.

Modded GTR for sure. But the Veyron's pride doesn't lie in it's ability to go from 40-150 really fast. It's its ability to reach top speeds that the GTR will never be able to AND the ability to get there with incredible stability. Still, I didn't expect the GTR to pull away that quickly or by that much.

Well he better not run a 2012 stock gtr because they come with 530hp stock.

468 at the wheels is probably 550+ at the crank (which is where the 530 figure for the GTR comes from), plus less drivetrain losses because its RWD and it also weighs 600-700 lbs less...

From a roll, it'd be closer, but still not huge competition...

That Bugatti's driver didnt turn the key on the side of the seat that unlocks the vehicles full power. Look it up.

That was a Switzer P800 GTR. A Veyron thats not using all the power wouldnt be able to keep up with the GTR as this one did so its pretty obvious that all 1000+ ponies are being used.

If true it makes sense because considering this (using 0-200 as an example since the gt-r walked it)

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/01/h...in-0-200-dash/

Car | HP | 0-200 | secs | Distance covered in feet
1.Hennessey Venom 1000TT Viper: 1,100 20.3 3488
2.Bugatti Veyron 16.4: 1,001 24.2 4770
3.Lingenfelter C6 Corvette: 880 26.5 4894
4.RUF Rt 12: 650 35.5 7385
5.Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren: 617 47.2 (199.5 mph) 10560
6.Lamborghini Murciélago: 580 50.1 (190.1 mph) 10560


That would mean the GT-R is running 1000+ HP to not only beat the veyron, but to plain out run away is on a whole other level.

Maybe the dude was running the r1k kit, that would make it a race with the veyron using all 1000+hp, maybe even to stomp it.

A P800 can and have beat Veyrons.

Veyron

It'll be pretty close.

Did it run away like this one?

If not, maybe it was the r1k kit then.
