Thanks for the warm welcome. Just lump me right in with all of the Porsche fanboys. I will gladly take the role of the hopelessly biased BMW fanboy.

I bet you barely read 1/3rd of what I wrote and understood even less.

If you do not understand the ability of basic science and mathematics to shred ridiculous claims of unethical marketeers you have some things to learn.

Perhaps you have heard the following funny saying about simulation. "No one believes the simulation except the person who conducted it. Everyone believes the test except the person who conducted it." Both ways of drawing conclusions can be fraught with difficulty and inaccuracy.

Let me end with a question. WHICH test do you believe for the 1/4 mi time and trap for "the" GT-R?

 

Let's have some real world comparisons on a level playing field. Bring the GTR to the 2009 24 hours of Nurburgring. Bring more than one.

 

You are a real piece of work aren't you? Please don't begin with insults about my credibility, capability or background. I did not come here to bicker with folks like you. I simply came to share some work I did with the folks here who seem to think like I do. The proper approach for adults when they disagree it to debate the methods, inputs, assumptions and conclusions, not to start with the insults and silly little icons.

Just FYI I work for a company that supplies NASA with the software tools they need since their engineers and organization are not as capable nor do they have the expertise we do.

Why post it forums? It is fun, that simple, why do you? I enjoy applying science to the automotive arena. I would never use that skill working for a large automobile company though, just my preference.

Your ignorance about the level of science, engineering, simulation and software used to design cars these days from Hyundai's to Ferrari's is laughable. Most large companies (especially automotive) do nearly complete virtual product development in which their products are designed, drawn, documented, tested, and assembled by computer. As well all of the NASA folks you seem to idolize use the exact same kinds of tools.

Good day.

 

Porsherboy definitely = Z07.


He tries multiple personality tricks every time he comes back but in the end it's the same ole Z07.

 

That's good stuff, very detailed and thorough. And you leave plenty of room for error as well. Well done!!!

And welcome to 6speed.





Also, I havent gotten anyone else to do this just yet. Do interval times on the back straight from the first bridge using identical bigger white signs on the right side as segments, record the time it takes from the bridge to each sign and use the black electronic traffic sign as well as the last marker before the second overpass. Let me know your segment times. I'd like to know if you find what I did.

 

You really need to drive one before making statements like that.

 

You really need to take a break from the amateur detective work.

 

But it is lots of fun! This thread keeps going and going, just like the Energizer Bunny.

 

Dude, you are wasting your time. Everyone knows the only true scientific method is "RICER MATH." I might as well try to explain chaos theory to my dog while holding a biscuit in one hand.

 

porsher, you do realize that since the Nag's locked their tranny thread you are almost single-handedly adding hundreds of views to a thread that Nissan would love to make disappear?

 

hehehehehehe I was waiting for someone to mention the loaner issue. When you sit back and think about it, most GTR owners will be spending as much if not more time in a Sentra then their prized GTR. I can't think of one person I know that owns a 997 that has had his car in for unscheduled maintenance.
90k GTR today=40K GTR in 6 months!
I feel sorry for all those fools that paid premiums!
At least their loaner gets decent gas mileage

 

I tend to call it fanboyism... "Any individual who is devoted to a single subject in an emotional or fanatical manner, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession" This is a p-car forum, and while I don't agree with the fanboyism abundant on this forum, I understand why it is the way that it is. These people own/love Porsche's, even ugly ones in dull orange and puke green etc. Nothing is better than the P-car, especially not something reasonably priced and made by Nissan. Their thinking is bigoted, I will agree to that, but we all have our vices. Personally, I would probably take the GTR over any P-car IN THE COMPARABLE PRICE RANGE. I think it's a feat that you have to almost double the MSRP of the GTR to find a P-car that can compete, and even still, it looses in most instances, but don't ever expect the P-car boys to admit that. Even if they did, they would find something else negative to say about the GTR. I think it's just the nature of the beast.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

I can't imagine why anyone with a ball sack would want something easier to drive, so I suggest all GTR drivers unite and wear Skorts!

 

Me caveman like Porsche, me caveman eat meat!
Me caveman think Nissan used snakeoil tranny! If advancing the human race means sitting still due to tranny failures then Houston we have a problem!

 

This is not a good analogy. What you are saying is, rather than take the time to learn to play chess, you'd rather let a computer program play against your buddy than you do it yourself. Computer intervention is fine for numb skulls on the highway, we want to learn how to handle a real sports car on a track.
