the ricer comment was in response to THIS comment. It wasnt an offense against ricers, it was just the result of being insulted by being categorized w/ them.

rmatt- i dont mind if you ignore my comments. im not here to make friends. I am here to point out everything wrong with the GTR, which if people on this site dont want to listen to, just makes them seem even more ignorant and arogant.

It's ok to point out a vehicle's flaws. It only means something if you have hard facts to back it up. Statements like "all the vehicles sold in Japan were ringers" are pretty laughable. We're not talking 10-20 vehicles. I'm sure were in the high hundreds if not close to or over one thousand. That would be like some German guy on a Porsche forum saying that all the Z06's sold in the US are ringers. Think before you post.

hahahaha ohhh you dont belive me about the ringers eh??

so just out of curiosity, how could a car, which supposedly has the same everything, run a whole second slower to 60 when they test the production version?

Example. The Evo.

When the Evo came out, motor trend tested it, and got 0-60 in 5.4 which they described as HORRIBLE.

but then when they returned to the car and tested it again, it ran a 5.2 which they described as "a huge turn around" claiming the old evo had problems and thats the only way it could account for the gap in performance

so a whole second??? thats crazy dont you think. run by proffesional drivers who make their living testing cars. a whole second is the difference between a Ferrari Enzo and a Shelby GT500.

So what is more likely. That the proffesionals and Car and Driver have some silly vendetta against a random car.

or that Nissan bloated their performance figures with excessive amounts of HP and torque using Ringer cars and now that the production cars are being tested the REAL gtr's stats are comming out

Thats some good info, I dont see how the ZR1 is beating the GTR times, if anyone watched the video notice that the time starts late. I dont know if Im wrong about that or not.
