The new GTR is very fast and will walk away from a 420whp isf. No question about it.

I drove the GT-R on the track last month and it felt considerably faster than the F in every way.

Its capable but its a full street car a/c and all. full interior roll bar, extinguisher the works. see my sig ##'s that was only 20-25 psi boost by gear max is 32psi....





Ok back on Topic lol!!!
Whats the power rating on these new GTR's????? How fast are we talking? The isf intake manifold is in the mail, Im going to order the Headers next week. I love this ISF but it needs more power.

What are the stock VS stock figures? and a rolling start or a down hill would help you considerably. you have 60hp handi-cap and are facing a car with a broad torque and hp curve. But some added high end ponies and a 70 or 80mph roll and maybe?

I can't believe this has gone on for 5 pages!!!! I figured the Moderator would have shut this down on the second post. Worthless post

That race was '11 LFA vs '10 GTR.

Wait for the '12 GTR... it's lighter and has 40hp and 20tq more. The 2012 GTR was created for one reason, to battle the GT2.

Honestly, I don't know why, I just don't like the LFA. I think its probably because it barely beat a stock GTR and costs $400k! Seriously, a GT2 RS is around $250k and would absolutely obliterate it.

3020lbs
620hp@6500
515trq@2500

The epitome of Porsche.

Top Gear. They'd assert an M3 would beat an alcohol funny car at the strip. As far as they're concerned if it aint BMW, it ain't ******.

aint that the truth. even when a car they claim isnt as good beats a bimmer or mercedes in their tests they claim intangibles and like the losing car still. they're completely bias especially the herman munster guy (jeremy clarkson). still watch the show religiously because well, its about fast cars most of the time.

plus, i really like watching the celebs in the reasonably priced car.
