Godzilla (as they call it) Vs whatever it seems

[LeonOfTheDead]

What are the other claims that people are saying this about?

AFAIK the Z-Tune is almost a race car, indeed IIRC it uses some parts, even for the engine, from the JGTC cars. only 50 were made.
These facts can justify those numbers.

edit: 20 wre made, just read on the link

Digging deeper I found that Nissan intended 20 to be made but had a problem finding donor vehicles apparently and only 19 ended up being made including 2 prototypes.

The 10.1 second 1/4 mile time sounds very impressive but have found nothing to back this up. The new GT-R can do some magic for sure, but a time nearly in the 9s is pretty unbelievable. I hope it's true though.

Idk why its so hard to believe this to be possible While I personally dislike the GTR for the same lack of passion others stated, lets not forget that Nissan is tied to F1 via Reneault, so trick launch control and a fantastic gearbox are easy to trace. Still, for a fast GT in the 80 grand range, I'll take a base 911, Zo6, 650i or XK and enjoy the cache and comfort (except the Zo6), with more passion and driver involvement. The fanboys and the computers just make this car too cliche for me.

have you driven all those cars in a direct comparison with the GTR, or are we listening to parrot speech?

tricks as launch control a a fantastic hearbox aren't absolutely enough to make a car at least good.
and the gearbox used in F1 is completely different from what the GT-R uses, and probably it isn't designed by Nissan ore Renault neither. Like VW which commissioned the Veyron's DSG to Riccardo even if they developed the first DSG a couple of years before.
