dumb question..What's a GTP?
I know this may be a very stupid question. But in the videos part of this forum, I saw a race between a Maxima, a 350z, and a GTP. The camera was inside the GTP and it blew the other cars away. Does anybody have any pictures of a GTP? I wonna see what it looks like.

I have that video of the Z racing a GTP and a a Maxima,..it was off Honda-tech.com and the Z was owned by the GTP and it was a track model as well,.I was a little disapointed but he just barley beat the Maxima that had a I.E

well stock they are mag tested at 6.5 and 14.5 I think. of course in real life their have been those that have done better. their real weakness is handling, I have driven one, many times, actually 2, (dad and sister own them). and they handle like a brick, and the biggest peeve is a turning radius that an 18wheeler would be ashamed of.
but as with any factory boosted car, a pulley and a chip and your gone. the chat on the video seems to indicate the GTP was running at around a 13.9quarter mile... youll notice that Zs HAVE done 13.7. what does this mean? not much, it just shows the Z driver got less than a 13.9, not exactly uncommon, its a drivers race.
