Why did the clock start at the end of the blue rail but stop at the begining of it?
Left out at least 5 seconds.
Or do they do them all like that?

As opposed to what, a $150k Ford? An $80,000 Dodge? The GT-R has enough cache to support that pricepoint. It's a Porsche 997TT for half the sticker price.
The exhaust looks to be very restrictive, it's not even true dual:
It might be restrictive but look at the numbers it put down. Hell they probably already have an aftermarket exhaust for it they're just waiting for it to be released.
The car I dream to have is the car all of you own which is the 04 Cobra but if I had the money to chose between the Z06 or the GTR my choice would be the GTR
Here in Memphis every damn time you look over your shoulder you just about see a damn corvette driver out walking there car since they drive the damn thing to slow.
On the othe hand the GTR will deff be a head turner and it WILL lay the smack down on a Z06 driver if he don't know how to drive the vette.
There will be plenty of aftermarket companies supporting this car once it comes out so the sky is the limit how far they will push the GTR.
I know you dont like the GTR but you got to be f*cking kidding me. Come here to Killeen/ FORT HOOD and see all the so called " TRAITORS" that fight for this country that drive imports.. LMFAO.
Standard superlap 20.6km , the extra .2km is not run do to safety issues ( exit of pit area).

Wasn't that a flying lap, too? Not all are timed that way, correct?
Is there even room to improve that exhaust??

That crossmember will be an issue, at least from the angles above.
Also, FWIW, regarding the 3.3 to 60 depending on the conditions...
My friend Mike was testing his new B&G CMR tune 0-60 with his Dashawk.
Dry: 3.55 seconds
Pouring rain: 3.65 seconds
Yes I realize Dashawk testing may not be the most accurate, but the point is how close the times were despite the huge difference in conditions.
That's N/A with bolt-ons 5100lbs and 390rw SAE btw.

There is some rumor there they may be "high performance" version, lighter and about 530HP possibly to follow. Let's not forget the Skyline held the Ring production car record for a long time, and was virtually banned from sedan racing in Australia (very popular) because of its dominance. The best consistent numbers I've been able to find are 11.6 @ 119 (ah, turbo cars) and a 3.6 to 60, that's a bit slower than the current C6Z and Viper, but we'll see what they do in the real world.
Their current ring run was a bit of a fraud though. It was a flying start with race slicks, compared to the Vette's standing start with run flats. It's a wicked fast car, but what's actually most impressive about it is the sophistication of the driver aids and chassis feedback. A C6Z, and maybe a highly tuned Roush Mustang might fall into the same category, of being very fast, but have to be handled by someone who really knows what they're doing. The GTR, somewhat like a Ferrari, can make a dunce look like a good driver.

The car did not have racing slicks on it, it had RE070's on it. And where are you getting the info that the vette did a standing start?
These are some pictures taken right before the time attack:
Here's a shot of the tires in the video:
Just a shot of the RE070's:
Those are nice shots of the tire, and maybe it's true, but not necessarily what they ran their lap on. I read it on a Ring time keeping site that had an asterisk by its time and specifically mentioned that they were not street legal tires. I'll see if I can find it again.
Here's the reference for standing start from Corvette Forum:
hahahaha, I doubt we'll ever be seeing this video.
How did your dyno turn out?
oke:Lighter than a Skyline with more power as is. I don't think they'll be any trouble on the freeways. They're still a few months out from US dealerships, Whipple should be on by end of January :read:
Gotta love that roll racing.. right ricer?
I think you need to show some support in the "7xxfwhp Skittle" thread..
I take it as it comes. Someone wants to run on the freeway, why not. Rev it at a stoplight, I'll take that too. :burnout:
Maybe I should give them IOUs for a run at the local dragstrip instead? :loser:
You'll take it alright..
And that smiley pretty much sums up what you'll be doing if you go from a stop.
I guess you wouldn't know what a :burnout: is like... one day Junior, one day...
Here are some pretty good pics of the car that I haven't seen before:
