Was never a fan of M5. My bro had a E39 and was nothing but headache,


GTR is definitely the bench mark for the era of electronic assistance.

As

NSX was the era of efficiency.

Gt-r is a freakin beast imagine if they ever decided to make it go on a diet? One can only dream of a lightweight gt-r.:biggrin:

It is truly an amazing car. Not that I'd be in the market for one but I wish Nissan would put a manual gearbox in the GT-R. I know it would not be as fast but the connection between driver and car seems so much stronger with a stick.

Having driven one on the track, I disagree. I loved the paddles and that is coming from someone who thought like you, that a manual was mandatory. In this case, as in the Porsche PDK, the new technology is SO good that you don't miss having a clutch at all.

Its ideal for the track, as long as it doesn't overheat. It is on the street where its a tad clunky and jerky. Awesome performance for sure, though. (and in a fairly comfy package with cargo space)

I wish the GTR would come back to its 09 debut price

 

[whiteNSXs]

The comparisons of these 2 cars are simply pointless. Would the tester expect the M5 to win over the all mighty GT-R? I however was very impressed with that M5 for being so competent as a four door sedan.
My college roomates and I recently had a reunion at Irvine. He has a 2010 GTR. 3 of us, totaling 600lbs, went for a ride in the GT-R. The capability of that thing was totally irrelevant as I still have a family to raise and I surely would get myself killed had I owned one.

Paddleshift cars are cool!

Agree completely. The trannys pretty jerky around the city. Shifts are super fast though.

So what happens if the new NSX turn out to be better?

I have no words to describe how awesome that would be. It would put the NSX 2.0 in F 458 territory. I would go from saying I would like to buy one to selling body parts to get one. But my brain tells me that the likelyhood of it being pulled off is very low.

 

[jond]

I think lateral Gs are usually measured as sustained G's in an average of both directions. Not a spike as the tires catch after a slide.
Still cool video though.

If you look at the history of JDM cars in stock form, Honda NSX always out performed the Nissian Skyline GTR.

I cannot fathom that Honda will make such a splash with the concept and turn it into a laughing stock. I really think the new NSX will be able to take on the GTR head to head.

The only thing will be the price points, since historically speaking, the NSX has always been about 40% higher in price over the GTR.

Can't wait to see the result.

Outperformed as in lap times? If that is what you are implying you are wrong.

Yes, in stock trim.

Zero to sixty.

Nurburgring.

In every aspect when you compare NA1 to R32, NA2 to R33. and 02 spec to R34.

So how is an R33 GTR 27 seconds faster than an R34 and R33 V-spec II?

There are no details on track conditions, tires used, etc...

You maybe right, but it on the official time attack chart, it is not documented. However, I highly doubt any of these car manufactures will attack the track with unfavorable condition and render the time pointless.

 

[kookoo4nsx]

I'd like to see same tests with a ZR1 vs. GTR. No I'm not a vette fanboy.

 

[e.pie]

The GT-R puts up amazing numbers but it just does nothing for me.

Too much disconnect between the car and driver and too heavy, no thanks.

Have you driven one? Its not as bad as some hype makes it out to be.

Not the GT-R specifically, but I've driven other cars that have heavy handed computer assistance and it just isn't as much fun to me.

I've only driven one briefly but I agree. When driving leisurely it gives you the impression there isn't much excitement/connection to the road; you do feel isolated. An s2000, miata, boxster, or NSX (albeit to a lesser extent) are still rewarding to drive at a moderate pace.

Once you get on it in the GTR, however, it becomes about as much fun as 3800lbs flappy paddle gearbox car can be. I thought the low speed shifts were a bit of joke when I first drove the car but I got used to it.
