Lets Drive

It was a joke, hence the smilie.

However, the former part of my post was 100% serious. Making big horsepower and running people on the highway is fairly trivial. We had a 730rwhp 5.0 mustang around here that would easily put many to shame, for decent hp/$. While it was impressive, I've also seen good drivers in a stock 98 Neon outrun Porsches on a course. Claiming to be unbeatable in any car, using only the highway to qualify the claim, doesn't say much.

I bet he's reading from the on board computer, which always reports high.

On the video above, not a stock GTR. Check out his videos, mods are midpipe, downpipe, and HP Logic tune. The ISF is MrSlay: JoeZ intake, removed 2nd. cats and mufflers from the stock exhaust, and 125 shot NOS. Nowhere near the MSRP of a stock GTR, the NOS might be around $1,500, the rest not even $350.

Here is another video, the same GTR against a modded C6Z06, not a slow GTR at all:

No I don't I always reset my trip meter at every fill and at the next fill I divide the number of miles I've traveled by the number of gallons I fill up. Now granted az is very flat, and on my commute to work I have no traffic and very few lights so that probably accounts for most of my high results.

I call shenanigans. It reads both high and low depending on a lot of things. It is NOT consistently high or consistently low.

headers + exhaust is more like 3-4g's+

A FI IS-F could beat a Stock GT-R from a roll but from dead stop with out drag radials no way...and of course road racing no chance...it will be all over the place...

A bolt-on isf can beat a stock gt-r from a roll. I love how everyone thinks GTR is faster on the street than it actually is. A stock GTR is nothing special on the highway.

I wouldnt compare the two on a road coarse because only the GTR is a dedicated sports car. Its like me comparing the cars on a trip to the grocery store with your kids.... At the end of the day i think its kinda cool that a 4 door lexus grocery getter can beat a dedicated sports car thats considerably more expensive.

On a side note... When i get the car dialed in on the new setup the times will hopefully be close to those of GTRs with similar HP. On boost ill be able to get off the line easier and actually run at full potential at the strip.

do a simple tune on a CTS-V caddy and it will actually take a stock gtr .
Buy a ZR-1 vette and it's bye , bye to the gtr !

the 2012 gt-r's are faster now...0-60 in 2.9s or less...but they have about 45 more hp than the previous gt-r's...The IS-F was designed for racing on a road course and daily driving...I think the GT-R's are also designed for both but Nissan has been in the game longer for racing with their previous GT-R models...

Do you plan on having a cage fabbed? Otherwise what tracks going to let you do more than one pass before kicking you out?

I'm sorry but unless the GT-R is running bad or you sprinkled some magic pixie dust in the IS F the GT-R will eat it every time. The 2012 GT-R is even faster while the IS F has no power upgrades.

Apples to Oranges.

And take the extra money you will spend on buying ZR-1 and buy a stock GT-R and mod it, not exactly bye bye:

Or buy a stock z06 for 20G less than the GTR and walk it. Or buy a 4G civic and put 25G into it and smoke everything. Or buy a panda, hop him up on coke and let him eat the GTR.
