Replying to: revmatt (Jul 30, 2008 6:53 am) Well, your acceleration times are close to the mags. Your lap times don't correspond to anything I've seen.   How does a minister afford such cars?

Replying to: revmatt (Jul 30, 2008 6:53 am) On top of Lemmer's question, I would also wonder   How much exactly did you pay for the GT-R? And when did you take delivery? How many miles are on it now?   Answer those questions and I might be able to tell you what the problem is.

...out the door- $81,000.00 for the GT-R, $84,000.00 for the fully loaded Vette... after government rape fees, etc. Delivery mid-late June 08. Approx. 2,500 miles on the GT-R. A couple of trips to Vegas from Northern CA provided a great chance to break her in fairly well! There are now videos on utube showing similar results. Z06s whoppin' the new GT-R.

Replying to: revmatt (Jul 30, 2008 11:01 pm) I previously gave people a hard time about using YouTube as "proof" that a GT-R was faster than a Z06 on a track, but more reliable evidence has piled up in favor of the GT-R. I still think it seems a little overhyped, and maybe not my cup of tea, but it is clearly brutally fast around a track.

Replying to: revmatt (Jul 30, 2008 11:01 pm) Which YouTube videos were you referring to?

Replying to: revmatt (Jul 31, 2008 6:49 pm) Everyone knows the Z06 has a higher trap speed. That video proves nothing new. And I don't think anyone who owned a GT-R would be so elated from those results.   No US-spec GT-Rs were released on the West Coast prior to July 11th, except the promotional #1.   If you do own a GT-R (which I doubt) the likely reason you can't track it as fast as a Z06 is your skill driving an AWD car.
#184 of 194 Elated or tired of auto-mags anti-US bias? by revmatt Aug 01, 2008 (10:33 pm)
I am soooo tired of auto-mags hyping everything BUT US autos. The latest MT and R & T are perfect examples. Where are the 60 ft times, 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times? The GT-R is a very sporty family car. Getting an early one is due to my Dads old connections via the IADAC. (Independent Auto-Dealers Assoc) He was their executive director and lobbyist for a spell. My wife wants me to drive a car with a back seat. I prefer the V-8 rwd exceptionally sporty appearance and performance/feel of the Z06. There's no accounting for taste... she drives a 2005 Jag S type R.   Replies to this message: bigmclargehuge (Aug 03, 2008 8:10 am) tedebear (Aug 03, 2008 10:51 am) bigmclargehuge (Aug 03, 2008 3:10 pm) revmatt (Aug 03, 2008 3:55 pm) and 5 more...
