Not an exageration at all. They have a trap difference of 5-7mph. That will make for an ass handing in a roll race, I don't care what cars we're talking about.
Better car? That's subjective.
Personally I don't really care for either of them. 84+ Corvettes look boring to me and the GT-R looks like it was designed by the same people that did the Aztec. Great drivetrain donors though.
The GTR has no donor for its drivetrain, everything is made specifically for the car. The engine is hand builit although I believe the LS7 is too.
Just the gearing (and tranny) itself will make a race from a roll closer than you think.
The weight isnt as big an issue as with say a terminator. Because it has been strategically placed to make the car perform better.

That GTR is one sick car....im a huge fan of the c6 zo6, but def like the GTR. teh ZR1 IMO looks ugly..i would rather get a zo6 then zr1..but thats me
There is no such thing as stratigically placed weight in an all out roll race. If there is more weight to pull around, it will hurt performance no matter how you look at it.
The GT-R does have an impressive torque curve, (kinda like the new 3 series with it's 'double vanos technology') but I doubt it will make the same horsepower under the curve as a Z06 with an N/A 427. Especially when mods come into play, a big turbo(s) 3.5L V6 will not make anywhere close to the amount of power under the curve as say a H/C/I/Spray 427 or turbo 427.
Also, to say the GT-R will win from a roll against a car that is 700lbs lighter producing likely the same amount of power makes no sense. Weight is the enemy of acceleration.. You can watch videos of a 1000hp Veyron with amazing aerodynamics, AWD system and torque curve get eaten alive by 1000hp cars that are much lighter. It's just pyshics, the GT-R isn't a rule to the exception.
BTW, it is a twin clutch electronically controlled SEQUENTIAL transmission. When a car comes standard with paddle shifters it doesn't use a traditional manual.

The motor might be strong, but how much more power will it have to produce to overcome the 700lb weight disadvantage to pull off 140mph+ traps? What about the AWD drivetrain, how reliable will it be with those electronically controlled launches when it's climbing 800hp+? What about the sequential transmission? I think you're comparing it to a modified R33 or R34, the engine is nothing like the inline Rb26, the electronic transmission is completely different, and it weighs over 600lbs more.

The r35 is not full time AWD,it is primarly rwd like the prevous models.
I was just going to go back and edit my post, it uses the ATTESA-ETS. My bad..:beer: It still does have a few differences and features, (mostly electronic).

Regardless of what American Muscle I'm riding in at the time, I wouldnt want to see that tuner car pull up next to me. especially if they guy actually knows how to drive the damn thing. Madness!
there are some stupid riceyboy posters in here. 120-121 traps vs 124-127 is a pretty big difference. The only way the GTR stands a chance is if the Z driver can't drive worth a crap. From a stop on a crappy street the Z probably won't get past the GTR until 1000-1200 ft, after that its gonna pull pretty good. The GTR is a badass car but its not gonna be running down Zs from a roll in stock form.
In this "dyno test" they removed the stock 20" wheels and tires from the car.. Making the numbers seem much better than they should be..
I do still believe it's underrated (judging by the trap speed) but I really really doubt it'll be putting down 480awhp
It's actually going to be hard to be a BAD driver in this car.. Paddle shifters and a launch controller are going to help out alot.
