Exclamation GTR Alpha9 0-60 in 2.6 Sec!

Not sure if this is a repost or not, but it looks like they are gunning for Veryon territory.

Pretty impressive. But, how reliable is it?

figure the car alone is anywhere from 75kup, plus the ams mods i think are 21,999 so you are in at 100k with the car and mods. being a master nissan tech i love the gtr just not the extra price tag on parts and maint cost that go along with it. plus if you mod the car we can tell and it will void the warranty period but if you have that amount of cash layin around i guess you could care less about warranty coverage

Comparing an after market built car to a factory one (ZR1) is retarded.

LOL, "gunning for the Veyron" & "move over Veyron, there's a new king in town." Sounds like a Woman when she's ranting about how much better she is at everything, than a man; week claims.

The mention of "gunning for the Veyron" is empty marketing, nothing more. Further, Veyron's don't break down every other month. Companies that want to claim that their latest & greatest is "King" cannot due so until their "King" tops 267 MPH.

Had this been a simple post of the GTR Alpha9, I'd have said, pretty cool. The empty self proclaimed "next Veyron, king of the hill" **** lost my interest.

My girlfriend says the same thing when I let her mow the grass or use the grill.

Id rather have a C6 Z06 for 75k less and build it to walk all over a Zr1.

AMS has done over 100 launches on this specific car and actually did some 9 second passes. They did their research.
