GTR is a great car, many in the porsche community respect what it is able to accomplish, both on the street and on the track. I think so highly of it that I'm seriously starting to shop for one...but, it's stupid and childish to continue to put NB times on a flag and wave it in the face of P car owners. Especially if you don't even track the car, which then I don't think anyone really cares how fast your car is on a track in another country driven by a professional driver.

That said; smugness has no place from either side of the argument. Especially from those that consider themselves "enthusiasts".

Bingo.
That, along with a wide-spread, inaccurate perception that a car that weighs as much as the GT-R does cannot honestly go around a road course as quickly as the claimed numbers suggest. Once most people drive the car, however, they will change that paradigm very quickly.

Right, along with Nissan's 7:20. It is still a factory claim. My point? Put HvS in the car to compare apples to apples. HvS got a 7:34 around the 'Ring in the 2012 GT-R.

Ill wait to see the video, IMO the viper is still the king of the mass produced which is a stupid title and the gumpert is still the fastest for a real street car. The radical lapped it even faster but you cant compare an open air race car to the gumpert or the viper IMO.

ACR prod numbers are real limited and gumpert is one uneasy and uncomfortable ride. You have to see how a person gets out of it.
That said those cars are awesome. In the end it's all good for us.

As much as I LOVE the GT-R, I definitely wouldn't call it a better car than a 7 or 8 year old year old 996 GT2. It's a better all-arounder, sure. Faster around a road-course as well. But a better car? I don't believe so. The 996 GT2 is one of the best, focused, sports cars in the world.

Wow..coming from mister "don't bench race" I would think you would agree about taking the cars to the track..back in the day no switzer owner was taking the cars to the track( no fault of switzer) and the few cars that went were running 10.5. And up..I can't say that I'm not impressed with your time .. I give credit where credit is due ..and have given mad props to switzer in mikes car.. 157 is no joke and they are a great shop... Like I said I never had anything against switzer at all.. Great shop and I don't recall making comments against them?.. Just was looking for Time slips..
Although my car no longer has stock pistons,. I will be gunning for your record for mod turbos.. Vegas DA will make it very very tough..but I Will try..

Rep Power: 52 You were one of the handful on the GTR forums criticizing SPI on the D42 timeslip last year and for not posting any track numbers. Tym (and most of his customers) knew what the cars were capable of and could care less about internet warriors 'looking for timeslips'. None of us care about the forum wars....and hence why we weren't even going to post anything until a mole at the track starting texting friends....
Wrong Again!.. you have me confused with someone else..maybe Boss?
you can view all my posts (about 10) takes 2 minutes to read all of them.. I just read them... and i did not see one single bash on switzer..I defended Bullo on every post..
