haltech gtr runs 11.1 on pump gas

[EVO85]

What tyres was it running? Read the article from Martin Donnon in the latest Zoom Magazine about what was necessary in order for the GT-R to surpass the Porsche 911 Turbo's time around the Nurburgring. I am not flaming the new GT-R as it's a fucken masterpiece for the price, but the Japanese spent countless hours of tyre testing and research (even had to pump them full of nitrogen) to make the GT-R seem a little bit better than what it really is. What I am saying is, if the Porsche 911 Turbo and similar machinery were to have similar rubber, I have no doubt that the results would be reversed....

I would still rather have 3 GT-R's (or one that's off it's tits!) to one Porsche however!

Hey Missile, where did you get that list from?

I just watched the episode and it did a 1:19.7. Do they retest it later in the series or something?

yeah i noticed that aswell... time i posted was different to the time that the GTR got in the link...

long story short it was put up on wikipedia as running a 1:18.9... however this was put up a day before that episode went to air in the UK... wikipedia subsiquently deleted it and have since revised with the correct time as per the top gear episode...

there you go EVO-OOX... another jap car in the list of european supercars and the odd yank-o...
