TomS Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 I can't see 0-60 in 2 seconds being done, there's a guy on the GTROC forum who has managed 2.28 and 0-100 in 4.5…that's with 1400hp with drag tyres! Quote
longsh07 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 If anyone can pull it off it will be Nissan. Their techno-wizardry has already created a pretty mind blowing car for a (compared to other supercars/high performance cars) cheap price! Quote
AliveBoy Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 people said the R34 couldn't be beaten, and it was. People said the R35 was the best it could be, it's been improved on 2 times so far. People said the Ferrari F40 and then F50 were the ultimate supercars that could never be beaten. They're long in the tooth now and aren't fabulously fast! Never say never! Quote
cs2000 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) What is a GTR as standard? 3.2 seconds. Its a lot of time to Shave off, but the GTR is an amazing car already. However Nissan hasn’t given any indication what the Nismo GT-R will cost, but expect to pay more than £100,000 when it arrives in the UK early next year. Edited August 1, 2013 by cs2000 Quote
HaydnH Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 What is a GTR as standard? 3.2 seconds. Its a lot of time to Shave off, but the GTR is an amazing car already. I guess reading the very first sentance of the article that the OP posted was a struggle? "The Nissan GT-R gets to 60 in 2.7 seconds." Quote

I went to wiki for the number there as I figured that would be more reliable, but fine, somewhere between 2.7 and 3.2 seconds ! 1 Quote

Nowhere near as fast as the bloke who sets the timed 0 to 60 lol. Quote

Nowhere near as fast as the bloke who sets the timed 0 to 60 lol. Doesn't the GT-R have this flappy paddle nonsense? In theory, as long as you get your timings down you should get pretty close to what they state. Also Nissan's website has the 0-60 at 2.84 to settle any arguments Quote
cs2000 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 So 3 times lol, but still, the Nismo version should be something pretty special.. Quote
TomS Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 If you're going for 0-60 in a GTR you leave it in auto as you can't change gears quick enough. If Nissan can do a 2 second 0-60 I'll eat my hat. If a tuned 1400hp with drag tyres on can't do it I doubt Nissan can do it out the box unless the next GTR is going to cost the same as Veyron! Quote

JetSet Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Well an F1 car with 750 bhp , wide sticky tyres and driven by the best drivers in the world do the 0-60 dash in anything from 2.1-2.9 seconds depending on temperature and road conditions. A MotoGP bike can do 0-60 in around 2.5 seconds. Pete Quote
longsh07 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 To be honest I think we are getting a bit ahead of our selves. The title of the article after all is Nissan GT-R Nismo Might Get To 60 In a Ludicrous 2 Seconds Quote
ddcboyle Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Give it 10years and average car will get 0 to 60 in 9secs. Zeds will be 4seconds and performance 2seconds. End of the day, theres going to be a barrier they hit where the car actually cant get faster otherwise it will be te speed of light or breaking sound barriers lol. Be like.. 0 to 60 in 1.42338379 seconds Quote
AliveBoy Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 A rallycross car goes 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. It's not too unbelievable, it will take a lot of gadgets and a lot of trimming back the fat, but it will be possible. Quote
