Why do you think it would pull it? The GTR traps 4mph higher than the gt500.Quote:

If power is all that concerns you then you dont know what makes a car a performer. The suspension system on the GTR would baffle the people who designed the gt500 suspension. The brakes is a no contest as the gtr would rape the gt500. 4 piston vs 6 piston. The GTR has alot more to offer than the gt500, thats why its more. And its still faster in the 1/4mile
GTR's have trapped anywhere from 112MPH to 116MPH to 120MPH. It all depends on which tune Nissan loaded for the magazine that they were sending the car to. They are all ringers, thats been proven. Even Porsche called out Nissan on their 'Ring times, and Nissan couldn't back it up. They are all about cheating, because they can't build a sports real car. GT500 puts down almost 500WHP stock. GTR isn't even close to that with its overburdened, thrashy V6.Quote:

I do have to say this part is entirely true. Anyone find the gearing ratio's for the GTR vs GT500?Quote:

Who cares what they put down, the gt500 doesnt trap as high as the GTR, dyno nubmers mean nothing when put next to real times. Stock vs stock a GTR will beat a GT500 at everything performance related.Quote:

And nobody ever uses the "no assist" modes, because then they would actually have to drive that pig of a car, which would probably be something like hot lapping a Ford E-series.Quote:

I guess we won't know the truth until someone puts up a Youtube video of a stock 2010 GT500 walking a GTR.

Closest i can find is that vid, with pulley, exhuast and intake with stock blower meaning not ported the highest RWHP ive seen is about 480 on a mustang cobra. The average would be about 450RWHP. The new GT500 with 540HP would have atleast 450 to the wheels easy, i would say weight would matter but since both are pigs, its anyones guess.

This vid i just found which proved me wrong and im editing this post but it pulled 511rwhp which is very impressive.
Cobra with basic bolt ons laying a whoopin...and the Terminators aren't that light either, at around 3700-3800lbs. Most Cobra with those bolt ons dyno 440-460WHP at the most. I love how the Nissan get the jump with its retardedly short gears, and then the Cobra just reels it in. Silly ricers.Quote:

IBFTL! And I personally like this video, especially the end...

The ZR1 makes mince meat of the GTR. Nissan's supposedly "unbeatable" car gets beat down.Quote:
