That question usually starts a shit fight about that was a race-car, i.e. Nissan and their dodgy R33 GTR; or it wasn't a full-lap (ie. only from the toll entry/exit points) etc etc. Some are independent tests, magazines getting over excited, and so on.

Have a looksie at the wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordschleife_fastest_lap_times and make up your own mind.

I just want to see it on TopGear with Stig behind the wheel.

And they are also keen to topple Porsche’s 911 GT2 and GT3 from the top of performance trackday wish lists.

I'm sure porsche's kicking back thinking... "amatures".

the face of that Porsche is very intimidating, f**ken just happily smiling, i really hope Nissan bring out something serious and i dont think the rsr can be considered as a road car. :S

i wont be surprise if Porsche does come out on top with this war, the first ever r35gtr to be imported (Europe) was sent to Stuttgart to the porsche factory engineers for a thorough examination.

i love nissan head engineer statement though "why ask why our cars so are cheap, why not ask why our competitors cars are soo expensive"

R35 spotted in emissions testing lab in Melbourne... I wonder why a GT-R would be getting emissions tested? :)

hehe yeah mate we already knew that from the R35 in Melbourne thread.

It will be the first GTR on the roads here shortly.

So who holds the current record ?

Pagani Zonda F Clubsport650 PS/1230 kg2007-09Semi-wet conditions.Thats the fastest full unmodified road car that I could find. I've got the article in an EVO mag lying around here somewhere. Pagani borrowed it from a customer so it wasnt a factory prepped car. He made them increase the ride height so it didnt scrape too badly, then they had to wait until the guys testing before them finished (it was almost dark) then tried to do 3 laps (practice/warm up, record, 2nd record attempt). They took the record on the first run, though the second was looking faster again (by about 4 seconds) but they called it due to failing light. Hope that helps

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
