2012 GT-R = 0-60 in 2.88 seconds!!! http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/im...n-skyline-gt-r
Thats extremely quick. I wonder how everyone else is going to respond. I bet Porsche is pissed off right now. I didn't think any other car could beat the GT2's time of 2.9s. I wonder if the GM has something up their selves regarding high end AWD performance? The Corvette should always be RWD but GM needs an AWD mid engine "Corvette".

"the car hits 60 mph in 2.88 seconds, a figure provided by Nissan"
I wonder if independent testing will back this up and if the 0-100 performance is any better than the previous GTR.

Don't these cars basically drive themselves? I've seen high 11's out of stock cars with guys with no track experience in the previous GTR's at HRP with a decent DA, with a low trap speed. Meaning, these guys either drive well with no experience, or the car is really awesome.
Performance of the new cars is just insane. Just curious if any of the old school, stock 6 speed IRS guys have a chance in a race vs. a car that takes very little experience.

I'm sure GM will start using a similar transmission soon in the 'vette.
