World's Greatest Drag Race

[BM1]

I knew who the winner of that was going to be before the race started.

pretty cool race shoulda went with the 11 gt500 though

result would be the same ..... [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNT2UijpCMs"]Drag Race! 2012 Nissan GT-R vs 2011 Chevy Corvette Z06 vs 2011 Shelby GT500 - YouTube[/nomedia]

Fact is .... the only bone stock production 2011 mustang with stock tires that can run consistently in 11's or better would be the 2011 super snake and the 2012 cobra jet would bitch slap every car in the video in a drag race!

The fact that the GTR won makes me hate it that much more. It's like a fat oversized 370z with down syndrome. Fast or not, still a fugly chode-mobile.

And the 2012 cobra jet would bitch slap every car in the video in a drag race!

Loosing faith in humanity one post at a time.

As much as a lot of us don't want to admit, the old fashioned manual tranny will continue to handicap high HP cars. Computers have now made them obsolete. The American guys need to focus less on HP and more in this dept to remain competitive in the future.

I think your right SIR!!!:banana::rockon::beer:

The GT-R is dead consistent, (just like if any of those cars was automatic). Despite that, I'd take any of those cars, (save for the Mustang and BMW obviously since they're worth half as much) over one.

530 hp, lots of torque, no turbo lag, awd, aggressively geared for acceleration, super efficient tranny...

Its got some decent Tq for a v6 but I dont know that I would call that lots of Tq.

It may not have the most, but it gets 'the most' of it down.

Nice vid but what was the point of this? Stock cars with no mods, we knew the outcome before the race started. Why race a 300hp car vs a 600hp car?

It dyno's more tq than hp to the wheels. My buddys car dyno'd 527awhp and 545awtq. I would say thats alot of torque, and believe me you can feel it when you mash the gas and it puts all of it down on the street or track.

Our car makers need to start cutting weight on these boats too. All the horsepower and big brakes in the world won't make a 4200lb ZL1 or a 4000lb GT500 Compare with some of the supercars in their same price range. That's why I love Corvettes so much, it seems they get lighter / more powerful / handle better with each generation when all the other domestics put on pounds.
