Replying to: terascque (Dec 04, 2007 10:20 pm) The problem I have with the GTR is that it's not going to be a Tuner's Dream Car because at $70K + Dealer Markup, you aren't going to see a lot of them "tuned" at least not in the same way the tuner scene would normally do it. The demographic for a $70k car is not the same as the WRX/Integra/etc. group. -mike

Well i don't even see why people are comparing the STI and the Evo because they aren't even close to the GTR's level of performance. It surpasses the level of performance posted by the 911 turbo (see Edmund's road test, and Edmunds is a third party), while being about half the price. They said they recorded a 3.3 second 0-60....are you kidding me?!?!?!? Show me one car for under $300K that has that kind of acceleration and grip. On top of that, it out handled the 911 turbo in the slalom too. STI what? Evo who? ....nuff said |

| When is the higher performance SpecV version coming out? 2010 ? I heard it will be lighter and probably pack 550 to 600 HP. That is insane. | |

The GTR most likely packs more than the advertised HP. In fact, the 473 Hp rating is at the wheels rating. So at the crank HP is estimated to be 550. That would explain the 0 to 60 time of 3.3 seconds for a relatively heavy car with AWD http://www.motorauthority.com/news/supercars/nissan-gt-r-dyno-475hp-at-the-hubs/- A few days ago we were talking about Nissan wanting to get the GT-R to an SAE-certified 480hp so it would match the Porsche 911 Turbo, one of its chief rivals. It looks like that should be an easy feat if the dyno numbers coming out of Japan today are solid - and it looks like they are. According to testing done on a Dynapack dynamometer, the new GT-R pumps 482PS (475hp) to all four hubs, with torque peaking at 580Nm (428lb-ft) at the hubs. Assuming parasitic drivetrain losses around 15% - although the loss could be even larger given the GT-R’s all-wheel drive platform - that would put power at the crank around 550hp and 495lb-ft of torque - absolutely insane numbers for a 3.8L engine, twin-turbo or not. Suspicious? Head on over to NAGTROC, the North American GT-R Owners Club forums, where poster Chuck H has links to photographic evidence of the testing, complete with shots of the dyno screen. While these numbers seem to fit more aptly with the GT-R’s 3800lb curb weight and its scorching ‘Ring times, it still seems odd that a car with a drag coefficient of 0.27 would top out at anything under 200mph with 550hp under the hood. Maybe there’s more to this story than meets the eye. We’ll keep you updated as things unfold. Thanks to Jeff for the tip! |
