[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16280564, member: 138028"] The magic with the R35 GTR when it came out was AWD with all the other gizmos that made it unearthly when it came to handling and setting records for a car ONLY with 485hp at the time with the weight attached. New GT500 doesn't have AWD so it's getting it done with more hp even with the weight, however I will wait for real test results when they are available (hey, it's only been 8+ months since the official reveal so waiting what???? Probably another 2+ months or more before the proper people get their hands on a car to actually drive and test). Watching a youtube vid and clicking your stopwatch when you think the car crossed a fixed point is not an accurate measure of lap times. Let's get real here, it easy to just say "pull 500lbs. out of the car" and it'll be a blanking monster...……...true to a point but honestly, where do you think there's 500 lbs. to yank out of this car? Most people, if they just spent over $100-120k for a CFTP car do you think they're gonna just start pulling bumper rebars, seats, AC, radio, and whatever else to yank to lose 500 lbs???? I don't think so, most people probably can't even lose 50-100lbs. out of the car or even lose 20-30lbs. out of their own weight by exercising. BTW, the 4225 weight announcement I believe they've said was for the base car, so did they ever reveal what the weight is for the CFTP car? Just for knowledge sake, a fully fuelled 19 ZTK ZR1 car is 3615lbs.
