Edmunds.com FIRST comparison test of GTR Spec-V vs ZR1.

Their ZR1 test resulted in ZR1 does zero to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds (3.5 seconds with 1 foot of rollout) and gets through the quarter-mile in

11.5 seconds. The 2009 Nissan GT-R SpecV takes off instantly with virtually no tire spin, and the car catapults to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.7 seconds (3.3 seconds with 1 foot of rollout), while the quarter-mile flies by in 11.5 seconds. The 1/4 mile was supposed to be the ZR1's BEST advanage and even there it's a wash, and acutally the Spec-V BEATS the ZR1 with a 1 foot rollout like in a dragstrip HAHAHAHAHAHA. Also, the SPEC-V also had the 2nd best timefor EDMUNDS with a 74.7 MPH Slalom behind the GT3RS. ZR1 got 1.06Gs on Edmunds test on the skidpad and the Spec-V got 1.16Gs ZR1=dissapearing speck in SPEC-V's mirror. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I can't wait till the SPEC-V PWNS the ZR1 at the RING NEXT MONTH. The Funny thing is that the GTR Spec-V is NOT even the high performance version of the GTR. It's not even like a Z06 is to a Corvette. The Spec- NUR would be comprable to the ZO6.

Hey, slimeball, didn't you leave out some rather important information, for example, this quote from the Edmonds ZR1 test:

"..The corrected results (which are slightly slower than the numbers the car actually runs..."

And from the GT-R SpecV test:

"...And we've brought along our VBOX to record some performance data..."

And this:

"...This is a different testing venue than we have in the U.S. (not to mention a different test driver)..."

So, you compare two acceleration tests, on different days, with different drivers, on different tracks, on different continents -- and one conducted with an accelerometer-baseed test instrument instead of a real test setup? And you think it proves something? Well, if doesn't, plant boy. All it does is demonstrate the pathetic and tenuous grasp you have on the real world.

Yeah, the speed seems to be guessed as having been EXACTLY the same as the ZR1, but we don't really know now do we? Compare that obvious bit of guesswork and finagling to the ZR1 test:

" ...the ZR1 is stable, communicative and easy to control on its way to a

74.7-mph pass through the slalom. This is the second-fastest slalom speed we've recorded from a production car, behind only the Porsche 911 GT3 RS at 75.3 mph..."

Now, let's consider some real numbers:

ZR1 SpecV ============================== HP 638 485 Weight 3,366 3,704 lbs/HP 5.28 7.64 Torque 604 448 lbs/ft-lb 5.57 8.28

60 - 0 ft. 96 106
