Don't get me wrong. My buddy has a switzer 1200hp gtr so I know what it does but seriously, seems stacked
I would have to agree, where's the Lambo and Mclaren this year? Why are the previous cars that beat the GTR disappearing from this race?

Not hating on the GTR I think its an awesome car, but if they are doing the "Worlds Greatest Drag Race" regardless of the vehicle class of vehicle cost I think they missed some of the GTR's rivals........ZR1, Z06, mp4-12c, Aventador and the list goes on. Just my opinion.

Meh...I would still take a used Porsche 911 Turbo S any day over the GT-R.

Based on the trap speeds, it looks like the SLS and the Viper were poised to overtake the GT-R if it were a longer drag race.

In any case, the "hate" isn't on the GT-R at all. I think most of us would practically worship the car if we owned it, haha. It's more specifically against Infiniti G-series drivers. The vast majority of them are perfectly fine. There will always be a few bad apples out there though (for any car).

In reality, if the GT-R ran into a SLS Black Series, the BS would make the GT-R look like its going backwards at anything above 40mph. Actually the regular SLS would run away and hide. Same with the Viper.

The GT-R is a great car but let's not call it undefeatable.

First of all an m5 would hold it's own. Second of all anyone can mod the shit out of a big engine and throw two turbos on it.. And yes I know the m5 is the same thing but the v6 is the gtr is just modded. Btw why are you on a bmw forum trying to prove a point about your love for a ricer you'll never have? And infinity? Is that a joke?

First of all " Real respsects Real " these are hand built cars, Calling them rice is just pure ignorance, An M5 would hold its own? Are you serious the M6 is an M5 coupe basically..

The M5/M6 is more luxury and way more comfortable and I was an E30 driver, an E36 driver and now an E90 driver but all in all I am an Auto Enthusiast and not blinded by that BMW logo on my hood.

The GTR is one of the best cars in the world atleast give it respect.. All the cars in this test were factory built not modded. Modded they double there power with ease.

In the real competition, for Best Driver's Car, the GTR was beast by the: Cayman S, Jaguar, R8, SLS, and 911 4S... in that order.

GTR is nice but but I don't like the looks and the interior is crap. If I had $100,000 to spend on a car, I'd get a used 911 Turbo or Ferrari F430.

Not really. The car only comes in automatic (DCT) and it comes with launch control. Clearly Nissan is taking strides to reduce variation in performance. Maybe you should do a little more research on the cars. Bottom line, the GT-R is fast and the Nismo GT-R will run low 2s 0-60.

Me thinks

Take away the sophisticated launch control and all-wheel drive or add it to the other cars that lack it and I think the GTR might finish 4th. There are a few cars there with better power/weight ratios than the GTR. Still I will park the 335 in the driveway and garage the GTR if someone here will buy one for me

I wouldn't call it crap, Not on par with a 150k German car yes but far from crap. Have you been in a GTR or just repeating what others say? ( not being a smart ass just asking an honest question ).

There are special editions with nicer interiors :

At the end of the day a used modded WRX wagon would cost under 30k and be more practical and faster than all of these cars. Production power numbers are a fools game.

I do think it is crap for the price you have to pay. It's a $100,000 car and has a worse interior than my $45,000 328i. I'm sure the materials are top quality, but I just don't like the style/layout at all.

This is all just my opinion. The car is a technological feat of engineering when it comes to its speed. I'd love to pick a used one up for ~$65,000 if I had the $$$ just don't think it's worth $100,000 new. Never been in one but have seen multiple ones up close.

I'm not blinded by the logo on the hood. I just say rice to identify that it's Japanese. Ignorant? Fine ill give you that and yes it's a great car but everyone praises it like it's the second coming. And not to sound like an ass and be technical but the m5 is a bit lighter than the m6.

Not crap! But I agree. I believe you pay 100 grand for that drivetrain which is great but that interior mine as well be in a maxima.

This. It's an amazing car and I am surprised by the negativity on this forum towards it. Cars are just like smartphones, one might be king for a period of time until a new faster car comes out to knock it down. That's just life.

They do the race based on the contenders in Best Driver's Car. They never do the same car two years in a row so those cars can't compete again unless they have a new model or edition.

Did you really just compare your 328 to the GT-R? Hahaha. This is exactly why I made this thread. To bring out the jealous trolls and fan boys

LOL Obviously your base 328 has a multifunction information display designed by Gran Turismo. Oh and I forgot about all the carbon fiber and aluminum on your dash. How are the Recaro seats on your car too?

Seriously though comments like these are idiotic. ANY GTR interior is better than ANY E9X interior. Simple as that.
