GTR > ALL

[monkeywrench]

the GTR is so powerful, it could stare down its enemies, or so they say...

[Meister1982]

that mustang looks gooood!

[Great68]

That wasn't surprising...

[CivicTypeRice]

GTRAWRRR

[sixthgear]

Would have been better if the Stang had better tires on it. That was just a display of drip more than anything.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

gt rawrr never lose

[spyker]

As much as I like the GTR,I'm going to have to go with the SuperSnake.

[GabAlmighty]

I call shens

GTR ain't bad, but as of late i have come to dislike it a bit

[ilvtofu]

As much as I like the mustang, I don't think this was a fair fight, they aren't on the same level as track cars. I say save your money and get the base GT500 as the KR really isn't that much better for the money you pay for it and have money left to buy an STI or mods for the GT500 happy days :)

Or just buy a set of drag tires and see how they stack up :D

[Great68]

I don't think this was a fair fight,

Of course it's not a fair fight.

One was designed as a high end performance car from the ground up.

The other is a hopped up version of a car designed for secretaries and balding men in their midlife crisis

[Greenstoner]

gee tee arrr looo

[mpr]

Put some drag radials on the GT500 SS should be quite an even match to the GTR.

For straight line 1/4 mile performance should be similar even with both at stage 2 bolt on modifications.

I rather drive the GTR as a daily driver even it costs twice as much.

GTR does not cost twice as much as a super snake -.-

[marc0lishuz]

North American car review shows are so damn lame and corny compared to Top Gear.

[GabAlmighty]

What is "stage 2". What does it consist of?

[raven69]

dam that sucked! super snake is sick. if the gtr was rwd or the snake was awd, then it wud be waaaaay closer. and listen to the sounds of the cars. snake sounds like a real car

[Timpo]

I think the race was fair from hp or price perspective.
The GT500 Super Snake makes 245hp more than the GT-R, but it's only RWD...so it was an interesting race.

Shelby GT500 Super Snake
725hp, RWD
$79,820 US-$84,820US

Nissan GT-R
480hp, AWD
$80,790US-$83,040US

[raven69]

MUCH rather have supersnake dam look at that thing plus sound of a v8+supercharger is orgasmic

[GordonTse]

i agree with raven69. v8+supercharger FTMFW!!

[maxx]

LOL GTR got ass raped, but come on power:weight ratios have to mean something sometimes :D

[BMW135i]

Still prefer JDM.

[asahai69]

id totally take the super snake over the nissan. the nissan is most likely boring as shit to drive compared to the super snake

[spyker]

If the GTR came with a actual manual transmission,I would seriously consider puchasing one for my next car,but for the price they currently are for one,weak ass automatic tranny and that stupid black box,I would much rather look into getting a used Porsche turbo.

[spyker]

call Roush

More like call Whipple or Kenne Bell.

[Mancini]

Of course it's not a fair fight.

Which one is which?

[Great68]

Which one is which?

Not many secretaries can afford an 80K GTR, but many can afford a 25k V6 Mustang.

But I get your joke :p

[Iceman-19]

Too bad that would have completely voided the Nissans warrenty, and probably done a shitload of damage to the trans, where as on the Mustang..........nope!

[versep]

that is one sexy stang

[orange7]

lol.. the plot was lame... lol

[spyker]

Your correct on that one.

I just don't understand why Nissan does not offer a maual transmission as another option for the GTR.

yea they should've offered manual tranny too..but auto is faster though, even porsche 911 turbo's auto is faster than manual's
