Replying to: bigmclargehuge (Aug 03, 2008 5:36 pm) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsP-4Cjm3mk I'm not positive how good this guy's times actually are on this particular track, but it certainly does look like he's carrying tremendous speed through the corners. Audi R8 sounds better though, IMO. I really wish that car has more power  The rest of the video is funny yet stupid. |

Drivers Republic set out to prove a GT-R on Bridgestones is slower than a GT2... ok... we knew that already but they seem to feel like they've stuck automotive journalistic gold. Result: GT-R claim on Bridestones (dry): 7:38 GT2 claim (dry): 7:32 6 seconds faster GT-R in the cold and wet on Bridgestones: 7:55 GT2 in the cold and wet: 7:49 6 seconds faster Wow. Shocker. This proves nothing about the GT-R on Dunlops, or how fast they are in the dry. But this is exactly what Nissan claimed the results would be on those tires. With both cars 17 seconds behind their claim, its only natural that if one would be faster than this, so would the other. The only thing Sport Auto and Drivers Republic have managed to prove so far is that cars are not hovercraft. They slow down over water. |
