Default 2012 GTR sets ring record with 7:20

http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=44894

Now officially faster than the Viper ACR. They upped the power close to 550hp and is now lighter as well.

Gotta love the Porsche imitation LED turn signals.

Those cars are fast as hell though. Pretty impressive.

Didn't the Porsche 911 GT2 RS run like a 7:18 or something?

That's a plush *** interior, I'll say that much. But I am bitter at the moment, my dash pad just split in half.

So was this one wearing hand cut racing slicks like the others?

That is truly impressive, Nissan is really getting it done with this GT-R.

Starting at $84,060. $85,340 if you add carpeted floor mats and the $1,000 destination charge. Thought you'd like an actual answer instead of the usual dick comments on this site.

Manufacturer's claim not official. Though most Nurburgring time's have this problem about them.

Cool car, great times, it's a shame there are still haters and BS claims still associated with the car.

it is still a very nice automatic car. But that means it sucks. Period.

ugly and fast with no clutch pedal... **** a lot of cars fit in that.

Let me know when they make it with a proper manual shift.

It's an impressive time for what it's worth. I don't view Nurburgring as that great of a benchmark by itself, but that's me. To get a good representation of a car's ability, I prefer to see it tested on several tracks with different attributes and preferably by an independent driver. I will wait for C&D to test it at VIR and Motortrend/Road&Track to test it around Willow Springs as well.

lets see if dodge ever takes a ACR back out there, they had no practice andnot enough time last time out and the new ACR has different gear ratios that should make a huge difference.

What racing class are you referring to specifically? Tell Jeggy that autos win races. Maybe tell Billy Glidden that. What "fastest cars in the world" happen to be autos? Just curious.
Perhaps you're talking circle track stuff? If so, I'll bow out since turning is over rated.

I can appreciate the GTR for what it is and I'm sure it's a blast to drive. I'm just not a fan of the styling.

Being from Indiana, he must be referring to all those fast Indy cars with autos. LOL
