RSVDon Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Holy ballsack that's fast! I'm not a fan of the GT-R, but ya gotta give it props here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTm8alJ4bFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Get some of the Texas Mile or Maxton racers out there that know how to launch and ride fast. I have no idea what a GT-R is, but damn it's fast and I have a feeling that one is NOT stock at all.I love this quotesoundandfission (1 day ago) I get tired of these videos. There is no way that car is capable of a mid 9 second quarter-mile @ 150mph, and if it is, post the timeslip. ^^agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alab32 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 It is a Nissan Skyline. It starts at like 80-85000 or something like that. Nice cars!http://www.gtrnissan.com/en/web_GTR/homepage/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 This one is supposedly 800+ HP into an AWD car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Nice. Bike was probably $10,500 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Nice. Bike was probably $10,500 though. Waaaayyyy too expensive. You should be getting a discount for something that takes a train round-house to turn around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluezx6r Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Those Skylines are pretty nasty cars. They are really the only import car I like. They are supposed to be around 800 horse and awd as RSVDon said above. They are supposed to be produced in the US next year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluezx6r Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yea lol the power is supposed to be greatly reduced. Kinda sucks, but o well you really don't need all that power on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same spec across the world.This one in the video is HIGHLY modified to be putting 800 HP through that trans. Only a few cars in production with 800 HP on tap from the factory. Names that come to mind are Koenigsegg, SSC, Ferrari, and Bugatti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alab32 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Well, its kinda funny since when i copied and pasted the link, i clicked on USA. Looked at the price in US dollars... and still... i managed to oversee that. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 They have one up at Castrucci here in Dayton, looks fantastic in person. 0-60 in 3 secs and quarter mile is ~11.5 seconds stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Also to note while the Skyline may have been modded, that rider on the Busa was a poor representation of a drag racer... He sucked at launch...I'd say if the car was running 301 KPH (About 185 mph...) and that Busa was that far behind, I am feeling the Busa guy sucks as a drag guy... Maybe Nick can chime in and tell us since he knows the type of rider well, but I think he looked sketchy...Those Skylines are wonderful and cool cars. They have some pretty neato options and are such unique cars to work on that most Nissan dealers declined to sell them. Special lifts, tools, etc were needed just for that car. Hell, the warranty is voided if you change out the wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 This one in the video is HIGHLY modified to be putting 800 HP through that trans. I'm willing to bet thats an aftermarket tranny or at least and extremely beefed up stock one because those GT-R trans are freaking glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Also to note while the Skyline may have been modded, that rider on the Busa was a poor representation of a drag racer... He sucked at launch...If he's not pulling the wheel up at all on the launch... he's not doing it right. From the sounds of it he was pussyfooting the launch by slipping the clutch WAY too much, and if the bike doesn't get out ahead on the launch, it's going to have a tough time run running down a turbo car because they shine on the top end while the 'busa would just run out of steam.Cool car, but I don't want to see the bill for the AM work done to it.

redkow97 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I think the RAIN favors the car quite a bit as well. AWD car versus a single motorcycle tire, in the rain... I'd pussy-foot the launch too!It's impressive that the car offers any competition in a straight line whatsoever, and the car is probably awesome on a race track, but even if I wanted to pay $85k for the GT-R, i'd go broke keeping decent tires on it. I'm betting a decent set of tires for that car costs 4 times as much as a PAIR of DOT race tires for a bike.bikes will always struggle to keep up with top-dollar supercars, but they'll win the performance-for-the-dollar contest every single time. that's why I got into bikes...

flounder Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Couple of things.. first from a dead stop, the car will def get the jump due to better traction. Second, didnt anyone notice that the roads were wet. (Dumbasses for racing), Third, hi hp cars will start to pull bikes around the 160 mark in many cases.

everoblivion2005 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 everyone knows that the GT-R has been out and selling in the US since early summer right? I sat in one at the nissan dealership on 35 in Beavercreek. I hope that everyone also knows that this is the meanest thing to hit us streets in a long time. 193mph top speed stock for msrp of 79000. just look at the specs, it kills the porshe gt3 in everything, and for some reason porsche keeps challenging the GT-R on different tracks thinking that it'll change something. and yes we finnally got the same GT-R that the japs did. no more ka24de in place of a sr20det. so yea the video looks about right. i love bikes but the GT-R is just sex on wheels.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_GT-R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you know what I'm talking about, I don't even need to post a picture.Or this. The ZR1 at 638 hp for $120k from the factory.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mim5HjpQhjUWe all have our opinions, but I wouldn't say that the GT-R is the meanest thing to hit the streets in a long time. Also, sorry for Nissan, the GT-R is slower this year by .3 sec to 60 mph. Launch mode is no longer accessible the way it once was, which I think also puts it into the 12s now. The GT-R is a nice car for what it is, a handbuilt, electrical nanny of a car that uses microchips over brains to be fast. But I'd still take a less electronic car any day.
