^^ Awesome!!!!!!
Nice to see some nissan love!

That white one is a beauty. :yum:

I don't think the first two are stock!:tiphat:

:worship:

:facepalm:

oh yeah thats a 12.4 sec 1/4 mile for that GTR... almost impossible to get that time with out the parking brake on


i could go get an invalid from the nursing home up the street stick them in the car launch it and they would run about a 11.5 like that redneck truck did

You have to win LeMans, everything else is just minor leagues

That's my line.

Is Le Mans a new NASCAR track? :confused:

2011 is the 20th anniversary of the only japanese backed car winning lemans, its time for toyota and nissan to do so.

Would that have been the Mazda 787B? :tup:

yup, built by the brits and french. one of the most annoying/weird/great sounding car of all time

Realistically, as a consumer, I want a car that won LeMans more than I would want a car that won anything else. It speaks to durability. I'm very big on durability.

More proof that the only car that can beat a GT-R is another 370z :p
i was dreaming :rolleyes:
the white GT-R looks cool :yum:

:ugh2:

chevy had never won overall, just class wins.....

At the same time, class wins are pretty good. A Corvette ZR-1 race car is pretty close to the ZR-1 you can get on the showroom. Not likely to find an Audi R15 TDI plus sitting on a showroom any time soon.

I am not trying to take away their win. I am just saying that winning a championship in MLS is not the same as winning in the EPL. It's a great car, they dominated GT1 and no one could challenge them.

The ZR1 in GT2 has a 5.5L special built small block. The GT1 had the same 7.0 LS3 as the Z06

In the end, you're right. It is a more impressive win to win overall. I love me some Le Mans Series.

Don't forget the 350 and 370Z also present!

JRM has confirmed that it will enter its Nissan NISMO GT-R GT3 in next weekend’s fourth round of the Blancpain Endurance Series at Magny-Cours. The event marks the first ever competitive outing for the new car, which is being jointly developed between NISMO (Nissan Motorsports International Co. Ltd.) and JRM (JR Motorsports).

Richard Westbrook and David Brabham will drive the car in the three-hour race, which forms part of the GT3 GT-R’s development programme. JRM is using the event as a test to see how the car performs in a competitive environment and has stated that the final result is not the most important aspect of its participation this weekend.

The race at Magny-Cours precedes the car’s official launch, which is scheduled to take place in October. JRM is also planning other race events before the end of the year, both in the UK and Europe.

JRM Managing Director Andy Barnes said: “Testing has been underway since earlier this year and the car has run very well. We now want to place it into a competitive environment as part of its continued development. We have no intention of racing to win at this stage, as we are focused on putting race-miles on the car and collecting as much data as possible.”

:drool: :yum:

guess that's an N/A 5.6 v8 right?

I didn't think they swapped the motor for a V8. I could be wrong though.

GT1 is a a V8... im pretty sure this is the VR V6


but the car is still RWD

GT3 class is N/A tho right?

hmm i think the new mclaren running is a TT aswell... i think its just you cant have over 600 hp or something...

I don't FI matters. Its all about keeping everyone on relatively even playing field. It would be done with either restrictors or additional weight.

talked to the PR guy for the race team

and he sent me some pics

Cool. BMW Z4 is currently leading, GT-R is in 11th. Still like 2.5 hrs left in the race though so it really doesn't mean anything. :p

yeah i mean this is a shake down development race for the GTR.. their first ever outing in the car... i think they just want to finish....
