GT-R Spec V may run the Ring under 7:25 & other specs revealed

Your "new" 911 got spanked by the regular GTR at its own game. The upcoming 911s are going to need more than just a HP bump in order to keep up with the V-Spec.

I know that you comment that Porsche is more than simply going fast, blah, blah, blah... But really wasn't that what the 911 was known for Pre-GTR Era? Your "Super Car" aint that "super" anymore is it?

The GT-R that I drove last week was dyno'd in at 500hp. That's 20 more than what they claim! Hmm something very suspicious going on here. Is that what you fanboys are supporting?

"new 911" is a oxymoron, haven't seen a new 911 since it was introduced 40yrs ago :)

sorry to say it EL34 but only the classic porsche is artwork. as for the new fressh gt-r, i got the chance to drive one and it's more artwork than you think. this car is simply a porsche killer, so suck it.

who knows who test drove the cars on the track so quit worshipping the GT-R like its the most soulful car out there. it lacks 3/4's of all the aspects of what makes a super car a super car. cheap and non-exotic interior, not inspiring design perfect for the playstation fans.

a porsche is a car that'll go down in history as one of the best cars ever made especially with its ageless design. a porsche requires more skill to drive than a gt-r and a nissan salesman even said it because he owns one himself for christsake. so my argument is WHO drove the car on the track, WHO recorded it, WHO witnessed it, WHAT were the conditions, WHAT horsepower is the GT-R really packing, TOO MANY questions that we will never know.

suck this nissan fan boys, GT-R a car built on budget and funding from renault. at least the nsx and lf-a is built with their own money. what has nissan done in terms of sales against honda and toyota? their squat!.. in other words BEGGERS asking for outside help to soup up their GT-R and have them say it's factory tuned and engineered by nissan themselves.. BULL CRAP! anybody else smell that? cause i do.

lol u know dam well u would take a Euro super car over a low budget built GT-R despite its supposed good numbers on the ring. gt-r is just a toy whereas a porsche,ferrari,lamborghini is a piece of art. u love the nissan but u lust for the real super cars. cars with a howl that'll send chills down ur spine and a howling v10 that'll scare the living daylights out of a pedestrian. a gt-r don't stir the blood.

Can't you say the same thing for all the fast cars out there though? who the hell pushes the envelop on their daily commute. 911 is limited to 155mph, any midrange car can go that fast, do you see people walking out of the dealership because of that fact?
