Not sure if they do. ill ask next time i hang out with them. Ive been getting this allot lately but to me a 10 second car isnt crazy fast anymore. In South Florida the standard for speed is basically a Bolt-on + cam zo6 on at least a 150 shot(usually 9 second cars with good driver). In current times its just surprising how many sub 11 second cars there are around. Thats why i say my friends GTRs arnt that fast to me.

On the 1/4th mile time... The guy i know when the 600whp+ skyline lost to the AWD m5 from a dig on the street.

here is the race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff0Kb2treCU

As u can see. the GTR is great until around the 300 foot mark but at the end of the day the GTR dosnt have the MPH of a supercar

Cool I understand. I have never seen or heard of a AWD M5. That must be a monster.

Just to clarify... "AWD" is the name of the shop.

Too bad the magazine doesn't mention using your LC will void your warranty. Ooops

Yes, the GTR is fast, we know. However, I don't think it posesses the characteristics of a supercar. It is just another fast car on the road. It has more power than the ISF and AWD so it should be faster. But the Z06 with a good driver is better than or equal to the GTR from a dig. From a roll a bad driver in the Zed could pull away from the GTR. I'm talking stock. Aftermarket for both these cars is through the roof. The possibilities are endless.

People still cant get over the fact of the all GTR's 2009 -2010 now have updated software that allows you to use the LC without voiding your warranty. Ooops

ZO6 is a monster and stock for stock it will from a roll pull on a GTR. weight really hurts there. But from a dig the GTR really is amazing and it would take a awesome driver to beat it from a dig. Aftermarket to me goes to the ZO6 because of cost and you can get more power out of it versus the GTR. You are right though

To say the GTR isnt a supercar would be to say the ZO6,911tt, and others in its performance catagory arent either. Its hard to really Judge the GTR from the keyboard and until you have really pushed one you cant understand. My personal opinion is that the GTR does things that cars that weigh as much could never do. Is it a supercar? Thats tough. It probably isnt in most peoples eyes except the owners

I forgot about the whole LC issues being resolved. I guess I'm just still mad a company would do that and screw people and advertise otherwise. And I don't even own one, I'll move on.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'd consider the Z06 or the 911TT supercars either. But that is neither here nor there, totally subjective. They are all rediculous rides and I'd kill for any. ANybody wanna give me a ride in their GTR?

I agree. Honestly a supercar probably has alot more exclusivity and way less production numbers.

That's exactly where I was headed.

.[/quote]Btw. I have 2 friends that have GTR's. One that makes 600+whp on c16 and another that is just shy of that number. And for what they are... There still slow .[/quote]

I don't think a slow 600hp car exists.
