Nov 20, 2008 - When the naturally aspirated Z06 was whipping Japanese ass, the Japanese had to cheat by making a forced induction twin turbo GTR that STILL comes up SHORT against the Lingenfelter or Callaway Corvette. WHOOPED AGAIN! And you get a 3 year Warranty and 16/26 mpg to boot! If GM fails the Italians will continue the Corvette with the Castagna Milano Anzom Corvette a 750-horsepower, 7.0-liter LS7 V8 engine that has a top speed of 208 mph or the Spada Codatronca Corvette that does 0-60 in 3.0 seconds.

Nov 25, 2008 - When the R32 kicked both GM and Fords teeth in during the v8 supercars in australia what did the american conglomerates do? changed the rules so they wouldnt have to race a better car, by the way how much will your callaway corvette set you back retard?

halcyontom Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - Americans don't drive, they jump on their highly inefficient engines and go in straight lines everywhere, how well will your 88 Twin Turbo Callaway Machismomobile fare on a race track?(and I mean a racetrack, not the ovels you inbred mullet wearing clowns drive around)

06jmm Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - The Corvette is made for more than strait line speed, how else could the Corvette win 5 of the 8 GREATEST SPORTS CAR races since 2001, the GT1 24 HOURS OF LE MANS beating Ferrari and Aston Martin. At the 2007 VIR lightning lap the BASE Corvette beat The Porsche 911 TURBO even though the Turbo is faster in a strait line. Corvette also scores a 1.06 g on the skidpad, higher than the GTR.

06jmm Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - A new base Corvette costs about 46k, the Callaway package costs about $18k which will put the base Corvette at 616 horsepower, 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and top speed of over 200 mph, faster than the 195 mph top speed of the Nissan GT-R, with a 3-year/36000 mile or 5 year/50000 mile powertrain warranty, 16/26 mpg gas milage, at a price of less than $65k, less than the cost of a Nissan GT-R(R35) which was $69,850 to $76,840, then 76,840 to $79,090.

Dec 7, 2008 - You're not really getting the point here bubba, we're talking about standard road cars. if i spent $18k i could make a bicycle faster than a Corvette.

06jmm Says:

Dec 7, 2008 - With a 5 year/50000 mile powertrain warranty like the Calloway Corvette has?

06jmm Says:

Dec 7, 2008 - Jan Magnussen piloted the Corvette ZR-1 to a blistering 7.22.4, less than a breath slower than the ACR and shaving off an amazing 4 seconds from the previous time. There is also a very controversial issue with the GT-R which has been thrown around on the internet - that it is impossible for a GT-R to travel the Nurburgring with the "claimed" times without the traction control disabled. That very disabling actually voids your warranty.Ouch. Luckily, no such feature on the ZR1.

06jmm Says:

Dec 8, 2008 - The point I was making monk was that you can buy a Callaway Corvette with 580 or 616 horsepower, 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and top speed of over 200 mph from a Chevy dealer like a standard road car with a standard 3-year/36000 mile or 5 year/50000 mile powertrain warranty unlike your bicycle or other modified cars for a price less than the cost of a Nissan GT-R(R35).

06jmm Says:

Dec 8, 2008 - With launch control engaged the Nissan GT-R(R35) can do times close to the Corvette ZR1, but it negates the warranty if you use it even one time. And when the transmission blows as a result, like they are already starting to do, that is a $20k mistake.Ouch. Luckily, no such problem with the Corvette ZR1 or the much less expensive Callaway Corvette.

nezzarine Says:

Dec 9, 2008 - Just to clarify, the warranty will not apply if a mechanical problem occurs when launch control is used. It doesn't invalidate the warranty permanently.The problems reported with the transmission have come following repeated launch control starts. If you do it repeatedly in your normal car, something will break. I don't think that suggests there's a problem with the GT-R, more with the owners and their expectations of what is normal usage and what is mechanical torture.

alfamonk Says:

Dec 10, 2008 - guess what i was saying was that there are modded cars out there that'll beat the times of either car. It's an impressive achievement for a standard car. The V-Spec will take some scalps.

Dec 22, 2008 - 4 times testet and never a agreement has been reachedwith this laptimethis is absolut impossible for gt-rbut they people do only believer whta they want

Mclarensenna Says:

Dec 24, 2008 - This cars shits on the ZR1. Virtually the same times but with 140 hp less.

GTRnev8820 Says:

Dec 28, 2008 - im shure it can go fasterwith some mods

06jmm Says:

Dec 28, 2008 - "what has the callaway achieved" In 1988 a twin turbo Callaway sledgehammer corvette went 254.7 mph, faster than any street legal Japanese car.

06jmm Says:

Dec 28, 2008 - Fastest time for the ZR1 = 7:22.4Fastest time for GT-R R35 = 7:29Not nearly the same times.ZR1 shits on GT-R R35

sooowestside Says:

Dec 29, 2008 - nd is that it well on a race track i doubt ull be goin newhere near that speed so really i dont care. nd what sort of horsepower was it pullin like 800-900bhp prob the Amuse S2000 N1-R 400bhp will tear the doors off it on ne track hmm gt beat by a ricer ya sounds like an impressive car. dont want to even kno what the GTR wud do to it lol. look at the achievments the skyline generation has done kicked out of several deiffernt tracks bcause of the winnin streaks it was on nd mor

number1Schumacherfan Says:

Dec 30, 2008 - This time is unofficial and false. If they could run a 7:29 why not do it again after coming under international criticism from Porsche. Why not run that time with the whole world watching. Make it official Nissan. I don't believe it for a second. Japanese propaganda at it's best.

Suazovic Says:

Jan 3, 2009 - your right! lets see it go faster!

Suazovic Says:

Jan 3, 2009 - Dude are you comparing a GT-R to supertuned Vettes! Those vettes were built to compete against the fastest street cars in the world. The Gt-r is built to compete against something like the Audi R8! be fair!!

06jmm Says:

Jan 5, 2009 - It appears that GT-R owners won't have to worry about voiding their warranties if they use Launch Control -- for the 2010 model year, the car won't come with the feature. Quoting a Nissan exec "It's gone. We just don't want to deal with the warranty nightmare anymore. It'll make the 2009 GT-R really special. It'll be the only R35 with launch control." We await Nissan's revised performance numbers.

06jmm Says:

Jan 5, 2009 - It turns out that disabling the car's VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) too often in order to use the Launch Control function meant Nissan wasn't covering the repairs. The cost to fix/replace the transmission is $20,000. The GT-R owner's manual states that damage to the transmission is not covered if it is proven to be the result of using Launch Control with the VDC turned off. The manual states that the only reason you should turn off VDC is to "rock" the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow.
