here you go thatsit http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/download/0508_ct_GTRZ06911_chart.pdf

the gt-r should be slightly ahead until 112 km/hr after which the z06 will start pulling ahead slowly. so like mash said im guessing the owner has abused the launch control and it no longer performs well.

Since Nissan said not to use launch control too much, I can only think that the GT-R owner used it too much and has killed something in the car by now. It is already a fact that AWD cars put a lot of stress on the drivetrain (due to too much traction) compared to RWD cars, which can release excess power through wheelspin. The GT-R owner has obviously been abusing the car.

man^^^
thats why i was asking you
its known that the GTR is very strong but why it lost against the Z06 even from standstill with launch control>>>and you can see that the gtr driver repeated the start twise>>>>which means even the car is not easy to control. of course not harder than Z06. and the problem is not with a small distance..its as if U a racing an altima with a sunny.
so when you are saying ‘theoretically’ U mean from the data of each car????

So the Z06 won the “race” in the video? I skipped through it. Couldn’t see anything, and it was boring. I assumed GT-R won. Theoretically, it should.

Well atleast GTRs will keep amateur rich folks from spinning out while trying to show off in public, right?

i would have thought the GT-R would be faster than the Z06 but according to the video it is not. i would assume the Z06 is modified. but as i said before it does not matter whether the GT-R can beat the Z06 in a straight line. the important thing is, it would embarrass the Z06 around a circuit.

this is because the Z06 is more of a driver’s car while the GT-R is more of a car that most can drive fast easily.

if those two drivers were racing around a circuit, you would see the Z06 driver having to using all his skills to take the car to it’s limit and to keep it there while the GT-R driver would hardly be breaking a sweat. the car is that easy to drive apparently.

As I said before, the GT-R is too easy to drive, with computers doing everything. Some reviews also say that Nissan recommends not using launch control too many times. The GT-R is a great car and is now the top sports car ever made, but it hides a driver’s real skill. Ultimately, a Z06 is probably more fun to drive due to its low-tech nature.

mash….what about the video???
is what CB saying true???
am not talking about many cars..am talking about the Z06 specifically…waiting.

nice video but what exactly is the point? there are many cars out there that are faster than the gtr in a straight line.

Those Nissan Teana photos really are confusing. The Renault/Samsung is an old Teana. These are the new redesigned Teana. And then there are the stories of the Maxima coming here. Notice that the Teanas are all white. Taxis maybe?
