2012 Nissan GT-R on the Dyno and at the Drag Strip

What a beast 0-60 in 2.8s and 1/4 mile in 11.07s, absolute madness performance. Congratulation Nissan for doing such an incredible with the Nissan GT-R.

The update resulted in some significant performance improvements, nice to see that with a supercar.

Holy Batman and Robin, the GT-R is just crazy fast. This car gets more amazing with each year. I love that it is a supercar that can be driven year round in any condition! Good job Nissan!

Doesn't matter. Street legal cars and race cars are completely different. They only share the same name for advertising reasons.

Go and find me another super sport car that perform just as well as the Nissan GT-R with similar cost and is livable with everyday driving and give you 16 city, 23 hwy, then we talk.

Poor Turbo, his hate blinds his sensibilities...if he has any?

Well these don't look very much like street cars:

The GT1 and GT2 classes, yes they can be used on roads but never will, becouse for example suspension is tuned to be completely unconfortable and many other changes. Have they air conditioning, airbags, ...? But I agree, GT1 and GT2 classes are closest to street cars compared to other classes. But then there's a question, why Porsche can't do street legal car that would be as fast as Nissan gtr when they have so much experience in Le Mans. Lets remember that point of competing in Le Mans is to make faster street legal cars. It seems that Nissan engineers take knowledge from somewhere else (maybe those GT series in Japan), they don't need to gain experience in Le Mans to do faster street legal car than Porsche.

@SportyTurbo,

so have you found the car yet that can perform just as well as the Nissan GT-R with similar cost and is livable with everyday driving and give you 16 city, 23 hwy?

Keep searching and good luck because you're going to needed. LMAO....!

Why all the hate? Accept it for what it is - a great sports car for under $100K. So what if it doesn't race in Le Mans! It's a fast car, it'll have fun on weekend tracks and it will turn heads. Sounds good to me.

If Mazda stuffed a 300HP/300lb-ft turbo-4-cylinder engine (not too hard these days) into their super light Miata, and made it AWD, it would go head to head against the Porsche Boxster Spyder at 60% the cost, and you guys would still find a way to slam the thing.

What do you people want for $85,000?! Geeze. Does nothing please some of you?
