11.81@121mph

[icepac]

Anyone notice that the "Stock Viper" that set the "production car" record at Nurburgring won't be "produced" with the R compound Michelins they used to set the time......but instead will only be available with significantly harder Pirelli tires instead?

My point is that most numbers touted by manufacturers are not valid.

That said, Edmunds got the 2012 GT-R to achieve 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and did the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds.

Goes back to rebuilding the transfer case on a 3000GT VR-4.

that said, the gt500 went 11.5's @129 so far. still bone stock. by the time they learn the car, it'll probably be down in the 11.3 range.

Well ..

numbers posted by manufacturers can be interesting.. f'rinstance:

GT-R weighs more than a Vette
GT-R uses smaller tires than a Vette
GT-R produces less horsepower than Z06 or ZR-1 Vette and even the base Vette is 430 hp
..which is pretty close to hp/weight figure of said GT-R.

And yet people still insist the GT-R is faster.

I dunno what planet they're on, but here on Earth, basic physics says no, it is not.

Even had one person who I thought knew better tell me that figures posted by fanboi sights weren't accurate ..
..when in fact I linked the manufacturer's websites for reference to the above figures.

Of course that all goes out the window when you start modding

 i think the AWD helps the gtr...but to be honest, given the choice between a top of the ling gtr, or a base vette.....i'm rolling the vette.

 another forum i'm on, they posted a video of livernious motorsports doing a dyno run on the gt500......and DAYUM does she sound sweet.

 funny thing is that people keep trying to compare the shelby to the vette.....when if they've got any clue, they should know better, as the vette will always be king of the hill.....unless ford gets serious about the gt40 that is.....

Man .. Cap .. if Ford did a retro beast GT-40 ..

..I'd like to see em do an OHC high winding 427 for it ..make it 'real' .. not some wannabe
Somethin you could run hard with right outta the box with just a tire change.

Bring back the white-knuckle salesman rides in spades

Go after the ZR-1 .. go big or go home

 yea...that's what they should do....but i doubt they will.

wouldn't it be a sight to see though? those two monsters going at it full bore? dam..the hair on my arms is standing up just thinking about seeing those two roaring through the turns.............

The gtr is faster right now.

How much time does the mustang need to be learned.

I would probably start learning how to rebuild that chinese transmission.

 do you wanna go read up on the shelby, or should i just embarrass you again?

[CAP1]

and although it's not street legal, i think this may be the quickest production car?

So your car doesn't have a chinese made transmission?

You need to review post history here because it shows you losing every argument you have thrown at me.......because you argue outside of your depth way too often.

[Golfer]

I think the point he's making is the Shelby doesn't have an MT-82. They're Tremecs still.

 dammit man!! you spoiled the fun!! 

 and even the gt's don't have chinese transmissions in 'em. they're chinese built german transmissions. 

[Shuffler]

sadly chinese in the middle of anything is not good.

[Golfer]

They're still made in China man.
