what about this though... is this considered in a different class or something because this car is clearly faster... if you ask me this seems harder to do with a true manual

what was the time for Gallardo? GT-R did in 22.602 seconds

Maybe that's why?

I think the point of the video is that it's the fastest a GTR has gone in the mile, not that it's the fastest mile ever recorded.

Or is this another event?

why is everyone using Gallardo for speed record, for anything, accelration, topspeed, nurburgring latime, everything.

nobody seems to use Murcielago or Aventador for some reason.

I can only guess,

I believe the Gallardo is a better platform to mod than the Murcielago,

As for the Aventador its just too expensive and too new, doesn't it go for around 500,000? The Gallardo is just way cheaper, more people have it, more people willing to mod it.

Also the first gallardo was TTed around 2006 I think, so more experience on that platform.

Tuners can pick up a Gallardo for less than 100k.

You gotta love the, somewhat unspoken, rivalry between Switzer and AMS. I wonder how AMS will respond with the Alpha.

Timpo must have jizzed when he found this video. I'm sure after seeing the video of the local Mustang run 8's in the 1/4 mile he must have spent many sleepless nights trying to find a GT-R that was faster. After failing in that endeavor he must have felt like he found the holy grail after discovering another video about the GT-R that proves once and for all it's really fastaaarrr than anything else.

The mustang was a true stick... If we're talking fastest drag times between heavily modded mustangs and gtrs. Mustang wins hands down... Just ask John force. I think his make around 10000 rwhp

Throw enough money at anything and you can make it go 7 seconds; however, most times what remains of the actual car is absolutely appalling. I mean that 7 second GTR is truly a car capable of being driven around town. Something tells me you wouldnt want to drive a 7 second honda civic around vancouver...

Not so fast!! Those are only records at the Unlimited 500 races in Russia. The real record holder is here.

This civic is from Trinidad (where I'm from). Drives to the track calmly on street tires, run 10s all day on slicks.
