500 horse and only a 12.5?

Something doesn't seem right there.

Well, it's built by Hennessey, may be he didn't install some parts. :lol

Did they turbo the 3.8, or just up the boost on the 2.0T?

its a pretty heavy car, so 12.5 isnt bad! probably still needs a lot of tuning. but im sure after that, the numbers will drop quite well.

The carbon fiber matte black wrap must have added a few hundred kilos to the car.

That time is way off for the HP they are claiming especially for a RWD car.

Berz out.

The Gt500 is a heavy car, with less power and does the same or better 1/4 mile.
The stock gen coupe by today's standards isn't even that heavy.
Probably just doesn't have the right tires for drag racing, it is a show car after all

Meh yea and who knows what the rear end is like with more power. Maybe they are scared to slap some drag radials or slicks on it for fear of breakage. Would be nice to see what it can do with slicks though.

:confused:

NSX-R has lighter weight
mid engine has better traction

GT-R is 4WD
