The motor in the new GTR is a detuned race motor capable of sustaining 650hp with ease.
I highly doubt Nissan would offer anything different, considering the old Skylines are good for 700+hp on stock internals. With better head flow and 1.2 liters of displacement more, this should easily be obtainable. Lets not forget, this car is making 500hp with only 10.2 psi.

Granted, you can't buy the intake manifolds, and there are some super secret stuff surrounding the motors, but the statement still holds true.

You can say the same thing about the LS7 that it's a detuned race motor capable of sustaining 650hp with ease. Just look at the C5R and C6R. Both motors made well over 600hp and were able to tear apart the worlds best during the Lemans Race series.

Actually you would be suprised the amount of power the LS7.R could be making without restrictions. The engines are built around the restrictions, so basically without the restrictions the engines will make more power. But if Katech were to build the engine with no restrictions in mind the Corvettes would be laying down some incredible power. Just imagine that last year the Corvettes were made to add weight at certain races to give competitors in their class a chance. God help any race team that is forced to race an un-corked and un-restricted built LS7.R, because they wont have a chance.

Usually I don't like making racial jokes, but I think it's outright hilarious how all of the pit crew for that racing GT-R are barely taller than that SLAMMED car. lol
Then again, I'm like '6"2 so there ya go....

VR38 Engine dyno:
VR38 Engine block:
From a look at the torque curve it appears that the engine managemnet is really limiting the power of this car. Engine also appears to have a nice closed deck design...BRING ON THE BOOST

Where'd you get that graph? I can make a graph with Japanese characters and lines and numbers as well. Not doubting the engine's capabilities, but photodump.org doesn't seem to be a very official source.

Its from Nissans official website. I saved it and blew it up then uploaded it on photodump. Heres you go...gonna have to go through some flash to find it though:

I wonder why it drops off so quickly with the torque. That HP number could have been much higher if the torque hung on a but longer and didnt fall off so fast. That is the kind of torque curve you want for a track car, good corner exit acceleration.
Why cant they just stop the game and come out with an english version of the graph, and stop all the specualtion. If the car is really that great, just spill the beans. People will want it anyway.
