GTR wins another Car and Driver review
#33
oh yea? two days ago USDM GTR at the drag strip it ran 15 times anywhere from 12.2-11.8 trapping 118-122 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZjAe...howtopic=23172
and what do you mean no US spec cars were built other than test vehicles? they've been built months ago, where do you get these stupid ideas from? USDM spec cars have been delivered for months now in the grey market. and US allocations are at the dealerships already.
before you make assumptions again, ASK PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT IT

How do you figure US Spec GTR's have been here through the gray market? Do you know the meaning of gray market cars? Gray market cars as defined here in the states are cars built to specs of another country brought to the U.S. through non manufaturer autorhorized distribution channels. That means any GTR's you are referring that have been here through the gray market is not really a U.S. spec car. If it were a U.S. Spec car, it would only be sold and distributed through Nissan Motors USA's distribution and retail outlets like your local Nissan dealer. Get your facts straight.
get your fact straight

I dont know about 7:26,however i know the ZR1 ran 7:26.4 thats good,consider the change are to car Z06 to ZR1 are'nt drastic. Also WHY is it that one stalking about the new Cadilac CTS-V,its it did 7:59.32 on the Nordschleife,making it the fastest recorded production sedan on factory-spec street tires. Good on GM.

They said it had a rollcage, just about ALL the cars that run there add a cage. If anything they add weight. The issue with the GTR was that it seems to have added POWER. Hence why the recent tests of them 0-60 and 1/4 mile wise are much slower....

How about those Sparco seats? Were they stock? Can I go down to Cadillac and find them inside a CTS-V? My point is, the car is not stock.

Oh please,every time a manufacturer hits the Nurburgring with intent of setting a time/record,official throughly check the cars suspension,tires,drive-train etc and everything is noted and checked/compared with documents specs that the Manufacturer provides the inspects. If Nissan understated the power the R35 Skyline had run on the Nurburg, and claimed the time. Nurburg officials we have denounced the time COMPLETELY.

What Nurburg officials? Nissan has done this in the past, Nissan fanbois still associate them with breaking the 8 minute barrier around the ring with the 277hp Nissan GTR R33 (similar time as the 550hp CTS-V). The best European magazines has been able to do outside driving the pre production mules were a lap 30+ seconds slower.
Manufacturers do cheat around the Ring quite regularly.
