GT-R: My first look [car porn]

[RossK35]

Nice car, but why is it parked on the street?!?!
Did you go for a ride?

 

[Simplex Effect]

Wow, didnt even know they had these in the states yet.

I saw a white (maybe silver... it was night time) one out in Scottsdale last month sometime, but it was on the interstate. Haven't gotten the privilege to see one that close up though.

EDIT: It wasn't exactly Scottsdale, I think I was on I-10E leaving Sky Harbor Airport

 

[WallasX]

Damn that is Sexy

 

[braves011]

i saw a red one in Tampa couples weeks ago, its a beautiful ride but its still a Nissan :thumpdown:

the problem with both Nissan and Toyota is that they both have this mind set that they are going to be able to make exotic cars. Regardless of if its 1/2 the price, a wealthy man who wants to be classy will buy a ferrari or a porsche before he buys a Nissan or Toyota any day of the week.

The car looks cool, but my favorite body style is the R33

but they're not in the exotic market... they're essentially flipping the exotics the bird by offering a car with more performance for less the price, and i for one fully support that.

no matter what people say, i have always liked the GT-R's. the pics you posted look very sexy, especially since the car is red.

based on the website, it says that it is a twin-turbo v6 with 480 hp @ 6400 rpm and 430 lb-ft @ 3200-5200 rpm? those arent bad numbers at all.

and those numbers are quite off as well... i was told that it's more likely ~550hp and 500tq at the crank...

 

[NightWing]

Wow that's a sexy machine. Someday ill own one of these. Someday!

 

[AFP520]

I would rock one for sure.

 

[Yotaman]

wow...that felt good...:biggrin:

that is one beautiful and sexy car!:adore:

 

[Sykotic336]

holy sheeet pre dope ass man you might as well invest in a r34 and mod it as much as you can and im sure itll over look the new gtr lol but nice man, nice. Still i havent seen one r34 yet not even in person, wanna go to japan ahahah and ill probably be there forever

 

[xmadcowx]

Not auto btw...paddle shifters for the win!

:rock::rock::rock:

 

[Super Werty]

I love it

but I really dont understand how they are able to have such good performance out of a acr thats over 4000 lbs. Thats crazy to me

I cant wait to see the spec v... lighter and boost is turned up

http://www.autospies.com/news/Nissan-GT-R-Spec-V-Spec-Sheet-Leaked-25898/

When the first test results of the GT-R were released my colleagues and I were highly suspect of the claimed "480hp" rating it was given from the factory. The tests have shown that the 3800lb car can do a 3.3sec 0-60mph pass and three numbers do not add up.

There is a statistical formula that we use in the industry to that combines 0-60/weight/crank hp by taking data from hundreds of previous models and generating a regression.

After running the numbers I came up with estimated actual engine power value of approximately 570hp. Taking into account a 17% drivetrain loss that will give about 473awhp if measured on a chassis dyno.

Only a few days later it was revealed that a GT-R had been dyno tested at 475awhp which was right in line with my calculations. With an AWD drivetrain the losses will be around 15-20% so assuming 17%, actual engine power is around 573hp.

Keep in mind this is the STANDARD GT-R. This new V-Spec edition claims 512hp which is about 30 more than the standard GTR. Given the tendency that Nissan has of understating its powerful engines, expect that the GT-R V-Spec will produce in excess of 600hp at the crank. My estimate would be 600-610hp measured at the engine.

Going back through the statistical regression, given a 220lb weight loss and 610hp at the crank, expect the GT-R V-spec to pull approximately 3.0sec flat 0-60 time assuming gearing and shifting are the same.

The transmission is a six speed auto-man with a dual clutch system. Paddle shifts on the steering will. I would rather have a Gtr 33 again

 

[rexrunner]

any engine shots?

 

[Sykotic336]

any engine shots?

o yeah dude we need pictures of dat sweet engine

 

[05runner]

That effin car is sweet. I like it. i agree the red and black colors are better then the silver i always see.
