I love how you call other people fanboys yet you'll back the GTR up to the grave in every aspect even if it's in the wrong, you have Nissan in your user name, AND you just said you didn't read the article, then made a claim/comment on the content. REPS for being such a close minded hypocrite. I love Mazdas,and rotary engines, but I'm open to all views at least.Originally Posted by NissanTun3r
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
Don't bring logic to a Nissan fanboys post.
So what happened?
i like nissan and all, but i think the GT2 will dominate the GTR.
GT2 for the kill....
edit: what did happen? lol
My guess is the Porsche had Harry overnight 15 grand worth of parts from Japan and decimated all.
^^ Yea I read something about porsche having to put Spoon engines in their cars to beat the GTR or something LOL.... I don't know Porsches very well but wouldnt the V-Spec GTR make a better comparison??
LOL @ nissan..

Yep rule of thumb is 1/16th to recieve perks of being a specific race. lololol
March 09 issue with "Ford Lives" on the cover.
Anyway, driver gets a GT2 and a GTR and takes them both to the Ring for a test to see what car is faster. He admits he's not as fast as a pro test driver, but is a race car driver.
Porsche: 7min49sec
GTR: 7min56sec
One section on the track the GT2 was pulling 181mph when the GTR can only get 168 while flat on it's face.
On part he writes..."even using this early shift technique heading downhill to Schwedenkreuz (to allow for a few damp patches), the GT2 hits 162mph. The GTR, using every last revolution and with its instant gearshift, manages only 157mph."
He was short shifting the Porsche at some stages due to a wet track. It was damp in some spots. Which is even funnier because anyone that has driven a Porsche, especially a GT2, in the wet that would be HARD to do with Porsche's snap oversteer and such.
Funny you say that..it lost.
the porsche might of been able to hit a 7:45 without the damp spots, cause i'm sure the short shifting effected the time.
i guess all the hype of the GTR being able to dominate was all show and no go.
i still find it funny that nissan really expected the R35 to wax everything, and when it came time to prove it, it only showed it was the fastest loser. afterall, 2nd is first loser.
Technically they aren't even 2nd are they?
they got lucky this time around and got 2nd, any other time would probably have been 6th or lower.
wasn't Nissan's benchmark to beat the 911 turbo? and not the GT2? I mean, the GT2 is almost $100,000 more than the GTR, lighter, bigger tires, ect. Just saying....
i think nissan was trying to be make it one of the TOP cars, and so far, it has yet to be(i think) within the top 5 of the rings best times.
So, lets recap here..
Not only did Nissan lie about how fast they are, they can't build a car to be driven the way it is intended to be?
I mean seriously, bring in a Porsche 911 Turbo back into the dealership after 3k miles and see the faces the sales person does..

The real question is if the GT2 needed to have a new $20k transmission after doing anything that it was intentionally made to do from the factory?
I like the GTR, but nobody should compare it to a serious track machine, that's like comparing a special olympian to an actual olympian, it's sad and somebody's feelings will get hurt.
Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...
No the GT2 is RELIABLE vs Nissan's crap.
As for comparing the GTR to a "track machine"...Nissan proposed it to be just that.
Not that anyone would want to do it, but you could rag on the GT2 every day and it will last way over 100k miles..
And when you do the math, if you have to change a GTR's $20k tranny every 3k miles its gonna cost you more than a GT1.
and dont forget old reliable regular joe Z06 > robocop mobile
Joe the plumber from Wasilla?
Without even reading into the lap....
Here's what i see.
1. 3 pedals.
2. A gear stick that i boss around.
Here's what i don't see....
1. A Nissan interior
Nice! I will definitely have to pick it up and read it.
Porsche FTMFW.
EDIT: ^Totally agreed. I drove a Boxster with a alcantara interior, and it was amazing.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.

Porsche owns all, someone want to give me 10k? I need to buy this Porsche on CLwill also give you my Miata and everything else.
i got the magazine right next to me but i dont feel like reading =/
then why waste a good post?
i kinda had my doubts about the GTR when i first started to hear everything about it. and i THOUGHT all the bugs in the car would be worked out. especially after how remarkable the R34 did. and IF the car did turn out the be everything as stated. then it could have just went down and turned alot of heads and gone down as possibly one of the greatest cars ever made.
however, it kinda seems like that Nissan, had the design, had what they WANTED it to do, built the car, and then watched it fall on its face when it tried. like they were so excited to release the car, they let some things slide, which is really fuckin them now.
Is Mr. Leno saying "Porsch?".........
it was.....all of a sudden its put up with the GT2...i guess the 911 wasnt enough for it...lol The 911/GTR are very very similar in alot of things, and tahts what it was beign compared to until recently... i guess.
Im glad to see this is settled somewhat..
Do some of you all just hold in all your GTR frustrations, until something bad about it pops up, so you all can get it all out...lol
I mean correct me if im wrong, but porsche didnt start working on their OWN transmissions until some years ago? And they still dont now they just replace them.
I believe the 911 turbo would have beat it as well. In a magazine test. I mean this is a short shifting GT2 on a wet track and still beat the GTR by quite a few seconds lol.it was.....all of a sudden its put up with the GT2...

maybe so..
Watch the part with 4:30 left.
Still Leno
7sec/420 sec= 1.7% better lap time not really that much given the length of the track in my opinion. I havent read the article so ill have to pick the mag up but damn yall sure do like to compare apples to oranges. I don't understand why 75% of the threads in here are to show how the GTR doesn't perform when it obviously does.
