Trading in GTR for a 370z

Lol, I am just curious what kind of #'s the 2012 lays down. If it really does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, that is impressive. I am curious if it will be quicker than it's American counterpart, the Z06 in the 1/4.

I am pretty sure it will be a good bit quicker...

they compared it to the ZR1 on top gear UK. I believe the ZR1 was slightly faster, but they said that you'd need to be a very high level driver to get the ZR1 around the track faster than the GTR

this is the video you are looking for BTW. i dont really care bout the launch control issue, i have never considered buying a GTR (not in my price range) and havn't done much research on it, but it took me about 2 seconds to find this video.

I found it a couple of pages and 15 minutes ago, thanks for posting it in this format, though, looks better!

The launch-control feature isn't a big deal for me, but the child in me does like a burn-out now and then, and with the GT-R, that would void the warranty ASAP on the driveline. It makes the car seem even more "isolated". No tire-spinning. No shifting. You just turn the wheel, modulate the brakes/accelerator, flick some levers. Great on the track, but I think I would get bored on the street.

MC just posted a new chart from nissan showing the accel curve in the 2012 GTR thread

Just went and looked. Nice! I wonder what the rest of the 1/4 mile pass would look like.
