ok.. so we all knew the new GTR would prolly be a monster... BUT.... a 1:56.9 at BW13 completely STOCK?!!?!?!??

come on! that cant be!!

470bhp / 3800lbs / 255-285's / Steve Millen = 1:56.9


I just dont believe those numbers.... for a 'completely stock' car!

what sort of tires does this thing come with from the factory? Dot-r's ??

ha ha...

 

Its an iteration of the RE070 that the STI came/come with. Mind posting up some other street tire times for us non-west coasters who aren't familar with BW times?

 

breaking 2 minutes at CW13 is very fast for a heavily modified car on street tires.... a sub 57 is 'stupid fast-barely believable' for a completely stock car...

 

gotcha. pretty impressive indeed

 

Well, rumour has it that it isn't 470bhp, but closer to 470whp.

That and the RWD biased AWD might explain some of it. The GT-R has been absolutely crushing the competition on road courses...

wow. the mags are raving about it too.

now if I could only a) afford to buy one without setting my retirement date back, and b) afford to risk losing it to an "incident."

I guess if I made like 1 million a rear or something I could risk losing 8% of my annual gross income at the track. Risking like 80% of my net annual income just doesn't really enter my universe of acceptable activities...

maybe I'm just weird though...

 

I have a feeling thouhg that no one else will ever be able to match that lap time in a stocker..... wink wink...

 

Wait until you see the V-Spec. Reportedly did 7:25 at the ring vs 7:38 for "regular" version.

 

Very nice, I agree the vspec is going to be some 300lbs lighter. and probably a bit more power.

 

I saw a review of the v-spec and they claimed ~200 lbs lighter. Looks like they used carbon body paneling and carbon rotors.

As for more power...they claim an additional 75ish

How much do you think the Spec-V is going to cost (MSRP)? I can't wait to see the ridiculous dealer markup on the "regular" GTR.
