If the V.Spec gets beaten by other cars, you'll still stick to the same excuse ?

I think the GTR was designed for 1/4 mile or maybe top speed

Factory claims top speed of 193mph and MT went upto 195mph ? how stockish could this nissan be ?

I'm sorry it's a STOCK GTR

 

Mizuno, your artwork is slipping!

 

 

Much better, don't let it happen again!

 

Motor Trend used the launch control, so the warranty is shot on that one. At least it holds up long enough for the mags to get 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. When are the mags going to catch wind of the launch control issue and discuss this in the article?

 

And I'm the one reaching for straws? I've made it clear the only GT-R I think is a ringer is the one that Nissan used to run the ring. though they may have snuck some in here and there.

Nice try though.

 

Eclou it is quick for the power to weight, look at that 0-60 time, but then look at the trap speed LOL , the tranny prob fell out on that run!

 

I asked you to pick up your Batphone to Steve to ask him about that particular GT-R in question and to perhaps explain the 0.1 second between a GT2 and a GT-R telemetry vidoe that Drivers Republic use on their site. It really would help.

You have gone to the trouble of contacting Steve regarding the video, would it hurt to ask a few more questions to clear some issues up as you have seem to have his ear?

You pointed out that we in the UK know how well the guys at DR can drive. So we can rule out driver issues in this case. You may find some disagreement here though, I mean, that *was* Harris in the GT-R afterall (Harris being USCCayman's point of reference in regards to a GT2 vs Z06, but at the same time, a GT3 drifter and hardly worthy to note his conclusions on the GT-R VS the 997TT).

I, on the other hand, agree with you though, and will help you defend your informed insight and opinion on the superior driver issue .

 

well the failures are now snowballing in Japan as well, and there aren't enough replacement trannies to go around. The replacement tranny prices are now increased in price and are over 40% of the plummenting values of the car itself.

Autospies has an article about the horrible reliability

 

Would you smell a rat if I signed up with another account and a web based email here, then soley posted my terrible problem with my new PDK-equipped C2? On an American forum if I were UK-based?

Snowballing? Horrible reliablity? Percentage-wise, neither are fact. Just like 7:29. Both are hard to grasp without alot more information.

 

The same reliable source that posted this: http://www.autospies.com/news/GT-R-v...Raceway-35000/

 

Guys remember, in the end, Godzilla was killed. Nissan is just staying true to the plotline.

 

That really, *really* is a terrible, cringe-worthy comparison to make on so many levels and not in your favour. Even at basic, film level knowledge, you are a wee bit wrong.

An embarrassing analogy, nothwithstanding the GT-R's nickname.

Unless of course your only experience is a US remade hash? God forbid there could be a sequel...

 

In the original black and white movie, he was killed by the "oxygen destroyer", the deal that turned the fish to skeletons. I was watching the original, the one with "Perry Mason", back in the late 50's as a young child living in Los Angeles. I saw the latest remake with "Ferris Beuller", not so good. In the original, there was no baby hatching out of the egg after Godzilla's demise to take her place.

 

I would buy an English car before the GT-R AND get better reliability.

I will have an Aston. Is there a movie where the English were left standing?
