Default GT-R vs. Bentley Continental SuperSports

After all the debate and controversy over recalls and such this is just something fun.


When Worlds Collide: Nissan GT-R vs Bentley Continental Supersports
Crazy to pit the GT-R against a 621 hp, $273,000 luxury British sports coupe? Crazy like Godzilla


You know the drill by now. So far, we've stacked the Nissan GT-R against the Corvette ZR-1, Ferrari 599, Porsche 911 Turbo GT-2, Shelby GT500 Super Snake, and even two Scion tC drift machines. Next on Godzilla's menu: a monstrously powerful, outrageously expensive sports coupe from Bentley.

Bentley? Are we insane? Not really, but take a quick run through the specs and decide for yourself:

Godzilla. The beast from the East. Cool comparison. I love both cars very much and have to say I am blown away that the Bentley can do 12 sec qtr mile and weighs in at 5000 lbs. AHHH the power of torque

I'd take the GT-R anyday. With the extra money, I'd slap on the Switzer P800 upgrade and reinforce the tranny then obliterate any competition thrown at it.

I think it's been in this car forever...

Anyway, pretty interesting comparison. One of the things that caught my eye were that they both had the same (claimed) power to weight ratio.
