Default Nissan GT-R Spec V Burns Up the Ring at 7:25 !!

As Per Motor Trend:

Rumor has it from those who have been trackside at the 'Ring during testing of Nissan's GT-R V-Spec prototype, that the car is churning out lap times in the 7:25 range (that's roughly three seconds quicker per lap than Porsche's Carrera GT supercar). The Spec-V GT-R is, of course, the higher performance variant that is expected to have not only more power, but also to trim down the standard GT-R's somewhat portly curb weight through the use of lighter carbon fiber components. Just how much lighter will it be? Some estimates peg the GT-R Spec-V to lose as much as 200 pounds. Power gains? Expect in the neighborhood of 600 ponies.

Now that's funny.... sarcastic remarks that are made incorrectly.


V-Spec should be amazing.... I wonder if they will be shipping this version to the U.S., though it doesn't really matter because I cannot come close to affording a the current GTR. If this is anything like the R34 we should be seeing the V-SpecII, M-Spec, Nur editions and maybe a Z-Tune!?! Confusing

Yeah, but it's still pushrod powa.... when they finally go hi-tech, teh LS30ZOMG will have 16 overhead camshafts... 8 for each cylinder bank.... one shaft per valve. Those cams will light the pavement on fire!
