[Deke]

Lol, I think I see what you're getting at. 0.3 seconds difference between two of IA's favorite arguing points?

I noticed the same thing. Hence why I think he also said "grabs popcorn" for a reason.

What does the FC by the Corvettes time mean??? What impresses me is how the GTR is over 100HP down and weighs over 200kg more than any other street car in the top 10, but still is incredibly fast.

This is what I am thinking. 168hp less/221lbs. more and still was only .3 behind the ZR-1...which is what $30-40,000 more. So much for American muscle. Not too mention the regular Viper is like 12 seconds behind that.

GTR drives itself.

I've read your comments before about American cars so i know you put Japanese anything before true drivers cars.

Just imports period...not just Japanese. American vehicles just fail.

You can still manually change gears in a gtr, just without the use of a 3rd pedal. I do not understand why the use of said 3rd pedal makes the difference between a true drivers car and a car that just drives itself. Driving a stick is not too much harder than an auto, yes it requires more skill, and yes the lap time would be lower, but not significantly lower. I do agree that the gtr prob does not go that fast around the ring, but to say that it's lack of a 3rd pedal allows it to drive itself is a bit excessive.

And if you were simply referring to the electronic driving aids in the gtr, porsche's offer much of the same in their cars as well...

I think your personal love/admiration for porsche has clouded your judgement on this topic.

Ya it was till this lol. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/12/f...dly-tops-cadi/

[EJ25RUN]

As a reference.

An MV Agusta F4 312R did it in 7:21.8 (so around a ~ 7:43.8)



There are a few stipulations though as since 1994, Bikes have been forbidden to do full lap sessions so the time is from the bridge to gantry. (where Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson's "10 minutes" came from) So about 22 secs needs to be added to the lap.

Safety? Confused about that.

Yup. In motorcycle grand prix racing, the Nordschleife was last used in the 1980 season.

[ItsBlack]

the SL65 is serious! and im glad, cause I still think the SLR is hideous

[ItsBlack]

and ditto on "what does (FC) mean"

[HypnoToad]

as i said the GTR numbers are underrated,while the ZR1 are overrated.

[JITB]

Porsche offers a variety of cars that can be had in manual or paddle shift options. Porsche makes the 911 suited toward the driver whither they want full performance or a cross country GT car.

About your Porsche judgement comment, did you forget when i explained to you about the 959?

And why not mention why i prefer the R32-R34 GTRs to the superior R35?

Sorry it wasn't one of my long explanations. Bit lazy today.

edit......i'll add to it tommorow.

I would take a R34 over a R35 anyday.

You're right, porsche offers more drivetrain options on their cars.

I also prefer the r34 to the gtr. But the gtr is not a r35, nor a skyline, neither in Japan nor USA. The current skyline, and r34's successor(even thought it is not considered r35) would be a jdm skline 370gt, or here in the US, an infiniti g37.

Gtr even in japan is a "gtr", not a skyline, not an r35...

You still didn't answer my question. What about the gtr makes it so that it drives itself? I know I can't change anyones mind here, nor do I try to, but I jsut simply canot understand why one thinks having a stick shift makes the car a drivers car. The reason why ppl like stick shifts is because it gives you more control in that it lets you change gears when you want. But when you can also control the transmission with the omission of a 3rd pedal it all of a sudden becomes a car that drives itself? So am I to believe that you're definition of a drivers car is not a car that you can manually shift, because you can do that in a gtr, but one that has a pedal to occupy you left leg?

Not trying to have any e battles, just friendly debating is all.

and id take a Z06 over a R34 or R35

different strokes for different folks

You keep posting responses to me even though I am not posting to you. Like the R34 post from me, I was agreeing with the above poster that I also like the earlier model Skylines versus the new one. Then you came with the Corvette one even though the post had nothing to do with your posts or any subject started by you.

This is an open forum and some of us try to find what little car discussions go on in here.

Sorry if this is the only option besides reading the nonsense in the WL.

If you took a gtr, raised the boost so it made as much hp as the zr1, and reinforced 1st gear lol, the gtr and zr1 would be extremely close. Don't forget how many hp more the zr1 has stock for stock.

vettes are badass cars, and I would buy one but I would rather buy a used 911 so....

CAR mag ran the new GT3 and GT-R and couldn't get close to either time. Nissan also refuses to tell the time of the Spec-V..
