Because Nissan created so much hype about how the GTR was supposed to be "Godzilla" and all this bullshit. And it turns out to be nothing more than an overpriced, overweight, underpowered, electronically controlled abomination of a car. It set no records, and does nothing better than anything else. Basically Nissan overhyped the car.
You must have been living under a rock since the GTR came out. They are blowing transmissions left and right, they can't keep them in the cars. And all at a cost of $20K for replacement, which Nissan will NOT honor under warranty. There has been a huge uproar about it everywhere, Nissan couldn't care less.
Porsche > Nissan
You calling out a company with decades of legitimate racing experience that makes amazing exotic performance automobiles against a company that is known for making pieces of **** that burn oil and $80K cars that blow transmissions. Get serious, its not even worth agruing. Porsche is well respected throughout the world, Nissan doesn't give anyone a reason to respect them.
And as for all the electronic crap on the GTR, its retarded. What ever happened to actually driving a car, instead of letting the car drive itself?? Without all that **** on there, the car would probably be at the minimum a minute slower around the ring. But at least the person behind the wheel would actually be driving the car and showing what the chassis is capable of, not what the electronic nannies are capable of![Icon Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Its hilarious when useless people like you call others out, but yet you have absolutely nothing to say.

Nissan GT-R makes it into Guinness World Records
Auto News, GT-R
The 485-horsepower Nissan GT-R is known for being one of the fastest cars in the world. Seven minutes, 26.7 seconds was its last record lap time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany, in April 2009.
Now, the GT-R has achieved another important goal. It is officially “the fastest four-seater production car in the world in terms of acceleration,” with a zero-to-100-kilometres-an-hour time of 3.5 seconds.
Recorded during the lap time at the Nürburgring circuit, this result allowed Nissan to officially register the GT-R with Guinness World Records. The record-keeping company has now sanctioned the result.
National Post
The Nissan GT-R's acceleration time of 3.5 seconds to 100 kilometres an hour is the fastest for a four-seater production car.

Not for $80,000 its not. The Z06 and Viper walk the GTR like its going backwards, and for less money.
Its also interesting how bad Nissan is gouging owners. A brake job at the dealer costs $9,000. OEM tires cost $4,000, and only last 5-8K miles. A quart of transmission fluid is $80, and it holds 10 quarts. Thats $800 just for trans fluid, not including any other parts or labor.
Nobody cares about a little known race track in Japan.
No, they didn't play into it at all ![Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/rolleyes.gif)
Intersting that your so called Z06s 'blowing engines" is not well known, why the Nissan GTR has been extremely publicized?? Perhaps because your're making up **** about the Z06 and trying to downplay the GTR's serious problems that cost owners tens of thousands of dollars out of their pocket?? Exactly.
It is all over the internet. There are a hell of a lot more than 10-20 failures. Nissan WILL NOT honor the warranty, its printed right in the GTR manual: Disabling stability control voids the warranty on the powertrain. Simple as that, you're full of it. People are outraged, Nissan couldn't give less of a ****. Thats no surprise though.
Since of course you'll deny this, here it is in writing, straight from the Nissan GTR owner's manual:
http://www.nissanusa.com/pdf/techpub...09_GTR_WIB.pdf
Chapter 6, page 9 of 47.
You mean Nissan has been getting their asses handed to them by Porsche since the 1960's?? Thats more like it.
The only reason Porsche has those cars is to tear them down ans analyze what Nissan did wrong. They sure as hell aren't using an Nissan designs on the next 911. The 911 Turbo is still 10 times the car the GTR could ever hope to be. It also helps that the 911 doesn't look like a heap of scrap metal.
You point the steering wheel and the car figures out everything else with the stability program.
It doesn't. GM's ESP is very unobtrusive and only corrects the vehicle if it is out of control. There is a threshhold that the car must cross before the Stabilitrak will kick in and make adjustments. The GTR's electronic crap is making constant corrections, all the time.

Actually it does hold several track records for factory production cars such as at the Twin Ring Motegi. It does a lot of things better then a lot of cars...your really sounding ignorant here.
Nissan didnt. The media might have, but Nissan didnt.

No...i've kept up quite well with the GTR since its inception. Only a handful of cars have broken transmissions(around 10-20 total), far less then the amount of stock Z06s that have blown their engines. Nissan publicly addressed this over a year ago when they said that far less then 1% of the total GTRs produced have had any kind of transmission failures, even still at that point they decided to include the GTRs transmission failures when used with LC. So yes Nissan DOES honor the warranties, this is a huge misconception.

Thats an opinion and it depends what your comparing the two about. Nissan has always went head to head with Porsche with their sports cars going back to the mid 1960s...
Nissan has decades of legitimate racing experience as well, many times racing against and beating Porsche. And trust me having been around older Porsches I can tell you they take the burning oil crown hands down...your lucky if their not leaking oil too. Porsche is well respected through out the world and the fact that Porsche owns two R35 GTRs that they continue to bench mark their own cars against should tell you something about the quality of Nissans own supercar.
Trust me, the car does not drive it self. All cars have electronic aids now days, the GTR just takes it a step further to push the performance envelope. If you don't think the cars still a blast to drive then you really need to drive one.
You don't think the Z06 had a host of electronics helping it around the ring?

I would like to point out that the only feature that caused the GTR to damage its tranny was the abusive launch control feature. Also, all GTRs as of late 2008 don't have the launch control feature.
For those debating if the Z06 is faster than a GTR around a track consider this: The GTR has beaten the Z06 on every track where the two haven't been tested by Nissan, but magazine or independent editorials like R&T. Car and Driver has recorded every quickest lap time recorded by a production car at Virginia International Raceway. At VIR, the GTR is 2.6 seconds quicker than a C6Z. You can't really sensibly argue that the C6Z is quicker than a GTR around a roadcourse bone stock. How will each do modified? I have no clue, but I would be inclined to pick the lighter platform for my own purposes.
Personally, I think both cars are great. I would own either and I would love to own both...
The SSC Ultimate Aero has the current production car record for top speed at 256 mph (verified by Guinness). It also makes over 100 more hp than a Veyron, but I don't know if its the most powerful.

Incorrect. As of late 2008 Nissan revised the LC feature by lowering the maximum RPMs the GTR will launch at when using LC. They also incorporated LC with VDC on so you can use it and it will no longer void your warranty if something is damaged. The updated LC is referred to as LC2 and is actually even quicker then the original, the fastest GTRs are using the updated LC and have achieved low 11s bone stock. LC has just been refined and covered under warranty now...

True racing is made on the 1/4. But honestly, how many videos of 1/4 do we have here compare to roll racing vid?!
But its always the same, some say roll racing is gay and tough man lives one 1/4 at a time. Good thing if you have the money to absorb breaking parts and dozens of differential on the 1/4, but I dont have 4G(2500 plus installation and shipping and CAD$ value) to throw at a shitty 9inch end when I can get a stroker for the same price. So roll racing is a good place to compare which car is the fastest, not which one is the best on the 0-60ft. I wish I could hook my car in first on the 150shot, but its not going to happen without breaking the bank.
I prefer not to loose time on reading Guiness book(even if its amusing sometimes) and keep my reading time on tech section of this site or my new book on LS engines
