Can you get Whiplash from 0-60 in 2 secs?

at car that does 0-60 in 2 sec.. that's equivelant to the worlds fastest roller coaster

At Ferrari World on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, part of the United Arab Emirates, the fastest roller coaster on the planet reaches an astonishing top speed of 149 mph (240 kmh). Formula Rossa accelerates from 0 to 100 km (62 miles) in 2 seconds, climbs 52m (171 feet), and generates 1.7 Gs.

My old R1 sportbike would do 0-60 in a tad over two seconds. Didn't have to shift to 2nd until I wanted to reach triple digits. LOL

Yeah. Back then I weighed a whopping 130 lbs wet too. You can feel your stomach hitting your spine on full acceleration. I'm way passed those days now. LOL

looks like a new exhaust and a new larger fixed wing . Im sure that just the tip of the iceberg since Nissan has a addiction to improving this car.

In all of my years following cars I have never seen a car get so many tweaks in one generation. Usually the model is released and maybe gets a refresh 4 years in and thats its. The GTR has been improved every single year since its introduction

If the RB26DETT was easily cranking out 300-400hp (under-rated at 276 per the old gentleman's agreement in Japan) then I don't see why it'd be hard to believe 500-600hp with a 1.2L larger 3.8L V6.

I think Nissan will try to go for a nice fat round 600 HP rating on the new car. In the end it will probably more like 565 hp but in reality will make more
