we'll have to wait till the GT-R spec V - i'm sure that one will be a special one (especially when the "normal" GTR is already so good).

if anyone remember the R34 GTR, hey made multiple different verisions of it other than just the Spec V.. so im sure GTR will be in competing against the V10 R9 and the Vett ZR1.

A bit of head scratching.

It's called wishful thinking. I think Audi is getting ahead of themselves.

This is going to become standard now that the manufacturers have clued into the young internet buyers' obsession with 'ring times. We all might as well get ready to speculate on type of tire, whether the car is a ringer, who's driving, conditions, etc. etc. for every car. The GT-R discussion was just the beginning.

Sometimes I think people do over-analyse cars with stats that dont affect them. I think you really need to drive the car YOURSELF and make up your mind about how the car suits you. There are a lot of factors to consider but yeah I think sometimes people consider factors that they dont need to bother with.

But at the same time I guess its interesting to talk about laptimes and observe the competition between manufacturers. I hate seeing people argue over it though lol.

Not going to happennn

dont see it happening either.. but, never say never. anything is possible. i think the best example is the GT-R. before it came out, if all you knew was the stock spec of 480hp, weight like a pig at, i think, 3800+ lbs w/awd. no one would of/could of imagined how fast it really is be it straight line or at any tracks. but time and time again, GT-R has proven that it's "almost" defying physics with its capability.
