7:38 Time Confirmed

[ras1983]

I can't wait for Motor magazine to have a drive of the new GT-R.

I find their reviews and articles to be better suited to the enthusiast market than wheels magazine.

Two different quotes and two different interpretations.

Now if you believe that using cut slicks would enable the GTR into the 7:30 then your dreaming.

We shall see when the first production GTR actually tries to tackle the ring, whether or not its as fast as the CGT.

It says around 7:30 in the dry with cut slicks and that 7:38 was on a partially wet track.

Who knows until it happens.

That track is like 20 km the odds of getting a completely d\ry track the whole way around is pretty slim. So it has no relevance in this argument.

what makes you guys think that nissan is the only company that do their best within what they think is 'fair' to get a good time? what tyres did the porsche use... etc etc.. why is nissan the only time people seem keen to challenge. I would trust them over the german marques to set an 'honest' time.

I have spent plenty of time in Germany and Poland, the chances of getting a dry track depend on weather conditions which are good for a substantial part of the year.

A little bit harder around the ring though with its changes in elevation, or so ive heard. Its a bit like Bathurst.

I just watched the video. you can see what tyres they are using. regular street spec bridgestones. why would they use anything else? you can even hear them protesting in the video. I've never heard slicks make noises like that. not even semi-slicks sounds like that.

I've already seen this discussion on another forum...

You can see them put the tyres on in their video. They are Bridgetstone RE070 tyres. The same tyres they supply with the GTR from the dealer. Why would they use anything else?

What on earth are you trying to acheive on here monarocountry? I think we can all agree that the new gtr is quick, and a 2 door commodore is not.

[R32_GODZILLA]

I've got no idea on what monarocountry is trying to get at here.

He's blabbing about the 'cut-slicks' on the ls1 forums aswell. Me thinks that someone is in denial that the GT-R is indeed an absolute legit weapon.

Pretty pathetic attempt to try take the light away on what truly is a remarkable piece of machinery.

Cheers,

Steve.

News just in. Nissan is running scared with monarocountry hot on their trail. They thought they could fool the world, but no one told them detective monarzzo was going to be working the case.

[Public Enemy]

The haters are here already.

Munrocountry / Scully from early X Files

Same Same

Even Scully became a believer and saw the truth in the end Monarocountry.

The Nissan, the... we all know that no one who speaks German could be an evil man!

[Beer Baron]

lol, the nissan, the. rofl. Only one person in a million would find that funny. we call that the Dennis Miller Ratio.

[scathing]

Hey, the Holden Monaro would be quick too....if it wasn't a Monaro.....and it wasn't a Holden.

and it had a VR38DETT... and it had ATESSA-ETS...

Just buy a VN commonwhore, duct tape the back doors shut, then call it a new model!
