they say it beat the hell out of M3 and M5, we have to wait and see then the car arrives.

 

LOL No surprise here my arctic friend!

The GT-R is a monster and it even killed the 911 (997) turbo on the nurburgring as you probably know. So the M3 is not a match for it, and of course neither is the M5 which is a big 4 door saloon. The only car that will be able to "sort of" keep pace with it would probably be the new M3 CSL.

 

what about the M5 turbo will that keepup with it.

 

Yes it's a fast car - but it looks like a fast sports car. Hardly should be compared to an M5? If people bought an M5 "only" because of the speed, well, they would buy a ferrari wouldn't they.

 

ok if not M5 then try M6. same group.
Ferrari is no way fast cos the gtr is the fastest on thr ring right.
they say the built is the best

 

Yes yes yes...but people let's not forget smth (and i'm not trying to defend bmw). A GTR will never sound and never probably feel as refined and as an M3/M5/M6. It will never scream at 8300rpm and it will never make the same screaming sound, nor probably will ever feel so poised as a rwd car.

Just my 02c

 

id rather have the m5 I think the gtr is too 'boy racer' and im only 19 lol

 

m5/m6 are sports lux cars, not small, light sports cars, they are no where in the same group as this thing....you do not compare cars on speed alone, otherwise the WRX types would blow away most and for alot less $$$$

...what the articles states is that the gt-r was quite fast on the 'ring, but it was not the fastest, ( I think it was # 5 or #7) but the #1 record still belongs to best production car ever made, the Carrera GT

...i believe the enzo and the CCR were both ahead of the gt-r as well, and the scudiera has not been speed tested yet on the ring, and they compare that baby to the enzo's performance in a v8, so ferrari is surely holding its own

and also, for goodness sakes, please do not try to compare a nissan to a Ferrari.EVER.no matter how fast it goes on a track.PERIOD.its just a datsun!!!!!, they need to build handcrafted sportscars that define racing and create new technologies, designs and ideas for about 75more years, and win more races than imaginable, and then you can try to tell us why they should be compared!!!

 

The road car record is presently held by a custom supercharged E46 M3 CSL. It beat the Pagani Zonda, which beat the Carrera GT.

 

If its great at the track will be shit on the road, like the Z06 Vette. Not many cars that can do both or any. Now a ACR Viper that was at the LA Auto show (Red one) thats a track car I would love to drive on the street. All of us will wait and see what the car mags say when they compare the GT-R to Z06,911, viper and others
