Well, what if the 911 owner spend ~$250K (or even $500K) on his car too (and he most probably could afford to) ?

Seriously, didnt want silly debates. just thought its an amazing car and wanted to share.

You have completely missed the point. This porsche is modified by a tuner and is far more epxensive to begin with. So to make it even you would have to spend the same money on a GTR. Such a car exists in the R34 GTR Z Tune (created/tuned by NISMO).

These modifications allow the Rinspeed "Le Mans" to be accounted amongst one of the fastest street legal sports cars. The sprint from 0-62 mph is achieved by the super sportsman in just 3.3 seconds, the 124 mph mark is reached in 10.9 seconds and the top speed is clocked at 213 mph.

...................Z-tune is quicker. 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds and 0-400m in 10.02 seconds and its street legal too. So not exactly killed by that modified Porsche when you make the playing field more comparable.

That thing owns a GT-R its called european!!, rapes Jap Crap. I do own a GT-R and they are great cars, but I have driven a 996 Porsche and they are a lot better car.

your car deserves much more respect than that - sell it and buy a porsche so someone can give your car the appreciation it deserves.

farrrrk, that thing is crispy

Can the Z-Tune match its top speed? If I remember correctly the speedo only reads up till 320km/h on the Z-Tune.

Like many Nissans it is electronically limited (in this case to 155mph) so I am not sure.

But what I do know is it is fast as f**k around a track and im betting it would show most cars ever built whats what, including that porsche!

Camry offer the best VALUE in a car. and still packs a punch from its V6:D

ha ha ha couldn't have said it better myself. LOL

but then again, for those that have the extra cash just sitting around. then why not ah?

my dad drives a camry, damn to him its the best car on the planet. they are good though, opps hang on, we're not talking about camries here. ha ha

I agree. As much as we admire some cars of Porsche or Ferrari, we should still be grateful that we have relatively easy access to one of the greatest sports cars and motorsport icons of our time. I mean the Yanks would kill for a Skyline GTR.

You have completely misunderstood MY point. As said above, I started this thread because I appreciate the beautiful aerodynamic bodywork and the performance engineering of this amazing car, and wanted to share. The title NEW GTR Killer is simply to attract attention. No body said its going to be a money for money comparison with the new GTR! In that sense, it would beat the new GTR both in terms of performance and looks. In my opinion and from many others in this thread. That's of course, until Mines or Nismo get their hands on the new GTR.

And No, the Z-tune is not quicker across the quater mile. The 10.02 seconds claim was misleading, no way it could have achieved that with the factory 500ps, even with supplied RE55s. Do a search on this topic, it has been covered many times before.

Again, I had no intention to inflict debates about "which is better Porsche or GTR?", or "given the same budget which car could be faster?". For all its worth, you could buy a stock standard brand new WRX and spend $150,000 on it so it could smoke the Z-tune all day everyday.

Make no mistake, I do long for a Z-tune I think its the best Skyline ever made and its on the top of my "wish list" along with the 997 GT3.

Right, so what time does it run down the 1/4mile then??

I would be interested also.

The one in Australia has 330awkW I think? And the owner says it is quicker than his GT2. And it has done a 17 or 18 second 800m run.

quicker than GT2? that depends on the driver.

330awkw would get you low 11s or with luck 10.9~

Already a thread on this topic.

What that thread doesn't allow for is the fact that the z tune was hand crafted by nismo engineers. The amount of detail and precision that went into that car is insane, i have watched a documentary one it. The a pillar forward is carbon fibre, the brakes as specially built for the car, the suspension is insane. All this and much more means this is not your regular 330awke GTR, its power delivery would be far more reliable and linear. I can't count the amount of places I have read that this car has completed 0-400m in times from 10.02 seconds - 10.2secs... NOT 10.9 +

[Gazzilla]

WOuld you take it over a Nismo GTR PROTO Z-TUNE?? assuming they will get made?

Comes to average power too. I would suspect a Z tune would make that 330awkw for a large chunk of its rev range.

There is giant's R32 GTR which runs a 10.2 @ 137mph with 380-400awkw... it makes 300awkw at 3500rpm - average power is where it is at for speed.

Maybe the Z Tune that ran a 10.02 is one them what Nismo says has 470kW at 9000rpm (I read that in Unique Cars - dunno how true it all is).

Anyway I am hijacking the thread.

Back on track, tuned Porsches are mental

[phee]

I think the new GTR beat the Porsche around the track.

I'll find a link.

Edit: Here http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpr...nissan_gtr.html

According to experts, the newcomer is currently completing laps of the dem­anding track in only seven minutes, 15 seconds - which means the Nissan is averaging as much as 110mph!

From here: http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/sh....php?t=67217320

New 911T does a 7.30-7.45 from memory, 7.15 is f**king unbelievable if true. That's significantly quicker than a Zonda, CGT, 911 GT3, SLR, etc. I'd want to see that verified...

It would be remarkeble if it really could lap the ring in 7"15. but i think Nissan would be happy with 7"30. the 997 turbo could only manage 7"45 on street tyres.

I find it hard to believe...

I would like to know what tyres it had on.

niiiiceeeee,

looks awesome in white!!
