Don't like the looks of the car to start with. Just the sheer cost of the car all around. Just not interested in Exotics in General. I'd say the same thing about a Vette
A 90K to start with car that only runs 11.6 just seems like a fail to me. I look at what that car costs in total and think I could build an F body running 8.50s

Yea, I see your point, but with the F-body, do you get that super nice interior?/Handling? No. And that 8.50 F-body would probably just end up being a straight up track car, if not, im sure it would be extremely unpleasant to drive on the street, that GTR is a street car, dude can drive that thing to and from the track, thats really impressive imo, and it runs 9's. I'm not sure if that can be acheived with an f-body....

I've seen plenty of 8 second street driven f bodies. Hell the tuner where I used to work ran 9.40s with a nice upgraded stereo in his 02 WS.6 It was not a strictly track car. The LSx family engines are amazing as far as performance and still maintain drivability

Yea, thats really cool. But still, you just can't compare the two in my eyes, the handling, the interior, etc. you just can't compare them, hands down, the GTR is far superior. Even though the LS1 T/A is an astonishing car for it's age.

Now if we were talking about something like a vette, then i would feel different, but trying to compare a 8 year old T/A to a GTR??

I know that 9.40 T/A is extremely fast and is awesome as shit, but the GTR is on a completley different level.

How do you know that GTR isn't running QA1s all around and strictly set up for straight line? Wonder how many engines have died in that car?

17 year old t/a design... 28 if you look at the third gen chassis and suspension, which traces back to a fracking 35 year old MONZA You can drive an lsx in the 9's anywhere. Your mileage suffers over stock of course but there is no detriment to driveability (given most at that speed are auto). 472 with nitrous, a/c, full interior, and t-tops http://www.advancedracingdynamics.com/pages/owen.html# <-page is outdated

i'd be more worried about the trans, just using the FACTORY launch control voids the warranty

Doesn't have a crappy sounding V6 so it doesn't count
Does that engine have the right size pistons in it?

I didn't want to crush his hard on for that car that bad....

MOD LIST:
AMS upgraded bolt on turbo's
Upgraded actuators
AMS 90mm downpipes
AMS 90mm Resonated midpipe
AMS 90mm exhaust
AMS Front mount intercooler
AMS 3" intercooler piping
HKS bov's
AMS Large MAF intake pipes
AMS fuel System upgrade
Cobb AP
AMS Custom Race gas map (unleaded 109 octane)

That is the complete mod list, no engines have died in that car, it does have a rebuilt tranny though.

You can clearly see the car has probably like 18"+ rims on it and the site i got this link from says it's on low profile street tires.

I've heard a few around here, those bazooka tips are redonkulous and they don't have the nice burble of the vg motors. Sounds like turd

Its on Drag Radials all around as seen plain as day in that video. They don't corner all that well. Trust many shop cars have work done that isn't mentioned in the build lists. I'm sure there's plenty of things done to it that don't just make more power which is all you listed. Like say the proper safety equipment to legally run those speeds

I'm thinking half shafts can't be stock

Nor is it a stock trans rebuild

There's going to be a Transformers 3

From what i've read, they fixed that problem with the trannys after the first ones rolled off the lot.
