GT-R for track day. 911 Turbo for Grand Touring with speed and comfort. R8 V10 + for luxury, style, and attention grabbing. Pick which one is best based on that.
@Scalibq: in fact, the first 4WD electronically controlled with active diff was the Porsche 959 in 1982 but Nisan and Mitsubishi made the first non-expensive ones!
I want to like the GTR but I can't get over how ugly it is. Well, maybe ugly is a strong word. Boring. It doesn't look like a supercar. More like a brick.
@Zyphon400 I dont this you get my point. In the Top Gear review I was referring to, Clarkson said the R8 V10 was much faster and he was able to go much quicker in it. But around the track in the hands of a skilled driver, the ZR1 was a lot quicker. I suppose its the driver that matters at the end of the day but I do think Sutcliffe isnt a competent enough driver (no offence) to get the most out of these cars.
What does it matter about speed. Its about quality. You're not just going to buy a car so you can race, and they were litteraly apart by a second. That matters why?
@thepunisheruae Im NOT a gtr hater but pay close attention at the top gear video when Jeremy announces the lap time for the Audi R8. He remarks: "That was sort of a dampish lap!" He then announces the time of the zr1 which is 1:20.4. That's 7/10ths of a second slower on a dampish lap. If you go to the drag race portion of that video, you will notice that it was mostly sunny, lol!
So you shouldn't have your car constantly adjust power to each wheel as it drives for better grip? And it also shouldn't adjust the suspension as you go around a corner? So would you say that ABS is for wimps?
@AutoFanBoy i must admit,the gt-r is a very good grand tourer.Its comfortable,it's controllable,and it's practical like what a grand tourer should be.But for certain people that only use their sportscar on weekends,i would recommend the R8,as it's more fun to drive,the engine sound creates adrenaline.I live in a place with lots of bad roads,so i only use them for weekend,so i choose the R8.
@SilentNinja1774 what bulb3145 said. it's supposed to be really fuel efficient and reliable, so you wont have to worry about fixing it up every couple of months. its made so that you can take drive it to work and back everyday with no problems.
@Lillnick1524 Did I say something offensive? And the G2RS is comparable to the Nissan GT-R and the Audi R8 V10 because it has a 6 cylinder engine. So exactly what are you saying?
I love competition between super-car companies... the consumer gets more overall quality, speed and agility in their car. Not to mention awesome RU-vid videos. BTW they should remake this video using the new Porsche 911 G2RS which has 650 HP and can go 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds...
good video Porsche,Corvette ,mustang,etc,,et al none can drive over that course without bouncing the driver to bits. The Gtr makes it look easy. The Benchmark
interesting tidbits, i'm pretty sure that the r8 can be equipped with carbon ceramic breaks, which would probably bump up its time, and they were all on a wet track, which could affect times as well
@Carbbon11 I agree on the Lotus fab cars!!! As for shifting yes I have used manual and I hate it foot in left hand move left foot off clutch then jerk I totally hate it. I used to own an MG ZT manual until I got my Jag XFR and I will never go back to manual (unless I get a track day car)...
I had a go in this model Porsche at the weekend and the surge of acceleration is just astonishing but considering the price the GTR is just incredible. In fact even if it was the same price it would look like a good deal.
@Zyphon400 Or not? the turbo has been clocked doing 0-60 in 2.7 secs, its got carbon ceramic brakes, it has all the technology porsche could cram into it, it mashed the 458 italia in a drag race too? The gtr wouldnt stand a chance around a power circuit? maybe on a twisty, slow one though since its the best car around corners atm IMO.
@SPHINX144 sticks are for real lovers of driving, but the truth is that the flappy paddle is quicker, this is a fact. also the other 2 were in flappy paddle
@xxCappuccino hand mad means it was made without production machines in today's standards... making crankshafts and such in few min vs a few hours. similar to what production machines were 20 years ago
@kungfu49 Not sure if u know about it or not, but go check out the Nissan GT-R Alpha 10 or 12. 1000-1100bhp, 9.10 sec 1/4 mile. It can keep up with a Veyron, and for only an additional $30k (US dollar).
@Scalibq well....nissans first supercar is the R390. altho it hasent seen the public road ( tho it was a production car) it was a killer on the racetrack in Le Mans GT2 series faster then some LMP cars.
The thing is, different ppl buy cars for different reasons, and others don't understand why ppl buy certain cars. All 3 cars in this video are great, they are carefully made, beautifully crafted and they perform well. The origin of their backgrounds make them what they are, what interiors/exteriors they can have, etc etc. SO as consumers, we have to appreciate these three great car makers for allowing us to have choices to buy whatever we want...only if tthe price was lower for all 3 lol..
@blazzing4321 What are performance stats for the LPE ZR1? O yeah Viper ACR>GTR Alpha 9 or 10 GTR>LPE ZR1 I don't know the performance stats for the LPE ZR1 but I bet the Alpha 9 GTR would smoke it.
@AutoFanBoy You confused the Turbo and the GT2. The Turbo has AWD and 4 seats, the GT2 is a RWD, 2-seater with a more powerful version of the Turbo's engine (essentially a GT3 with more power).
@vtknight777 when i think of Nissan, the car "Micra" comes in mind. Do i see many GT-R racing around? well everyone goes still for all the other brands not for nissan, fast as a porsche but quality as a Micra.
@coolcarman555: even if, in Europe, the name Skyline hasn't been chose, xhere do you think the "R35" come from??? Do R32, R33 and R34 names speak to you?
@grant6730 thank you! people dont realize the porsche has big leather cumfy seats lol its not all carbon fiber and uncomfortable like most sports cars.
i guess you re right, its all about the $. when it comes down to cutting cost, as an audi driver myself, i have to admit there is room for performance.
@XNarutoX67 The Nissan GT-R is one of the best. 0-60 in 3.2 seconds 1/4 mile in 11.6 seconds @120 MPH Top speed 195 MPH Nurburgring lap time 7:24 The Nissan GT-R is one of the best supercars for its price
@MrMickle28 If you look at modern race cars and racing sequential gear boxes dominate. Faster you shift and less movement wasted the quicker you will go around a track. Just the way it is.
@Scalibq: Yeah! you're right about the year of production! my memory's gone!! lol The diff were electronically controlled with a 4 programs choice, the suspension were also electronically controlled. But, for the Nurb lap times, nobody can check them, so I no longer take them for real, for example, nobody managed to obtain the R35 laptimes claimed by the factory, which is logical, when you consider its huge weight and problems it causes, nevermind, it is a fast car, but not so fast as they say!
@Yavoesz eh to me it's all about the thrill I won't put any nation above another I mean I probably buy more japanese cars than others but mainly because they are affordable and cheap aftermarket to take out some big dogs around the track, I love muscle cars but I also love time attack and they aren't rounding a track quick enough to even take out a mildly modded miata but that roar when you put your foot down still makes me melt lol
GT-R for life! Been a fan Since the GT-R 32.... and the 35 is outstanding. It's not the most powered ... nor the most expensive.. it's just a marvelous masterpiece of technology.
@jcpturbo00 The Gumpert Apollo managed a 7:11 time on the Nürburgring and the GT2 RS managed a 7:18. They are much faster than the GTR. And when driven by the same driver, the GT2 and the GT-R both did a 7:38 and the 911 Turbo wasn't far behind.
@AutoFanBoy thats because people like the way they look the ford f 150 looked the same for the last 4 or 3 years, under the hood it will get more powerful i gurentee
@MrBabirusa I write very specifically about this; Objectivity vs. Subjectivity. Objectivity is easy - this car is this fast to 60 MPH vs another car which is slower. Subjectivity is tricky - its more fun to drive, better, better looking etc. The problem with subjectivity is that I can say that the Toyoto Prius is the better driving, best looking car compared to anything in the world - and since its my opinion - it can't be argued. This is why I prefer to stay as objective as possible. Peace.
