this is fresh off Nissan World Press they released a few hours ago

I heard Geely made a car called the CTR... and it actually did the ring in -7:25... thats right.. it actually finished before it even started..

i just waiting for the NSX to come out and destroy the GTR'S time

Keep waiting

How many days have they been there already? The viper was able set the 7:22.1 in just 1 day.

Wonder how they cheated this time.

this is the stock GTR too, and NOT the V-spec. And as for the ACR Viper being the only production car to do it faster, I doubt that bugs anyone but the most hardcore GTR fanboys. The GTR is a car that weighs almost 4000lbs with driver inside, has roughly 420-440whp and it constantly goes up against cars with about 3000lbs with 500-600whp, still owns them and still gets no respect cuz people are annoyed with all its hype. And by the way you should have madw it clear that you're not talking about a stock Viper, its factory modified. Maybe a fairer comparison would have been against the Nismo GTR when it gets released, cuz the V-spec wont cut it with only a few extra HP. I though Dodge was filing bankruptcy this month? They went out swingin though the ACR Viper is a sweet ride

i just waiting for next gen GTR to destroy the NSX's time

im going to take this extremely offtopic but where can i see more pictures like that one ^

maybe with less internet talk typing on it too

You sure it wasn't a Delorean?

Google. Type in something and chances are, somebody else has thought of it before. I typed in i like where this thread is going, and low and behold...

source? :confused:

oh yeah, GT-R Rulez

How did they cheat this time? Higher boost, slick tires and what else?

TEAMWORK!!

Keep waiting, considering Honda's last announcement was that they canned the NSX, just like Toyota canning their LF-A. Guess Nissan is winner by default...

What timpo saying is that all their employees drink a lot of energy drink to work non-stop to come up with this better lap time.

lol@this thread on so many levels.

I'll tell ya how the GTR did it, they washed off all the spray paint off the track for better grip, did their hotlap, killed it, then re sprayed it again just to fck with Porsche.....

wow.. I think I'm actually onto something... jokes aside I'm actually really looking at this picture now and have come to a conclusion that all this spray paint on the surface must in some way affect traction and grip. You're basically putting another layer of a foreign substance over the cement, and I'm pretty sure that paint is a lot more slippery than cement since it's not made to grip rubber like cement is. Am I wrong or would this be considered a logical conclusion ??

If NSX and LF-A ever show up, I think they would try to beat Viper's 7:22.

Meh. I don't care if it does the 'Ring in 7 minutes flat. The GTR still feels absolutely soulless and numb when taking it for a rip.

apparently that is not the case for spec-v

^you've driven one in japan or sthing?
