Congrats OP.

My mate has one, albeit slightly tuned to around 580bhp IIRC. I'm still waiting on my test drive, but he's always away with business.

In before the "omg it's less of a driver's car as the electrics do all the work even though they have off switches" yawn brigade :p

On the track in perfect weather Nissan got 2.77 out of it from what I read and saw (video on the 'tube).

Interesting thing though that vs the 911 Turbo S PDK it's slower to 100 but faster to 60. The 911 hits 100 in 7.1seconds.

Also interesting that the 911 does the drag run in 10.89 @129.27mph so not much in it.

Although we have to remember that every GT-R outputs different power as each one is hand built and finetuned.

Also the 911 Turbo S has a base price of 125k, could spend 50k in mods on a GTR and have a 1200HP Veyron killer ;)

Pretty sure Road and Track got 100mph in just over 7 seconds in the 2013 (US name for 2012) GTR.

So dependant on weather and track prep though, on NAGTROC the fastest 100% stock GTR is:

#1 - 10.876 sec @ 125.26 mph FikseGTS
2013 GTR Fully stock on OE Dunlop Summer Tires
1.614 60' (LC5) ⅛ = [email protected] mph; Δ = 26.79 mph
4/26/2012 @ Palm Beach International Raceway

That's the same car I was talking about :)

Awsome car . I will own one of these !! Its the ONLY car to give me a hard time on the bike . On a section of road which was about 1 mile between roundabouts it was pulling 100 yards on me every time (although i dont think it was standard )

Great cars for money, I was going to buy one last year a 2010 model when they first fitted led at the front. Really great everyday car, great power as well. But it did seem slow as in feeling.

Instead my brain taken over and said spend it on something else again :(

may get one in future but a older one and mod it to 800bhp :D, they just don't fit in my life nomore :( require 4 seats.
