2012 gt-r

I am baffled as to why there is even any question about the numbers.
- They doubt the GTR can move that quickly?
- They believe a quarter mile is only real at a drag strip?
I came in here just to share my experience about the car I bought, not to getting in a stupid semantics pissing contest.
My new GTR is an amazing performer. The times I came up with were replicated repeatedly and the VBox I have is very accurate.
Go to any review or video of the GTR and you'll see they come up with very similiar results. Take my personal favorite review site, Edmunds Insideline*:

*I like Edmunds because unlike a lot of car rags they actually use dead stop acceleration numbers when measuring from zero. And their results seem to line up with what I am getting in the real world.You know why the GTR is amazing car? Because the performance numbers are easily produced and duplicated. That is a rare thing with performance cars. And it is also why some people don't like the vehicle. They think its too easy and takes no skill.
Now if any of you doubt the performance of the car drop me a PM and I'll let you drive the thing. Especially you doubters.

I'm not doubting anything on the car, I know its an easy 11 second car. And your results seem to be accurate with what I have seen in magazines for performance results. However, I would still love to look at it up close and in person and see it make a couple passes at a drag strip. I don't need to drive it, I would be happy with a ride in the car, driving it would be awesome.
Do you know what they did in the new GTR, to solve the old GTRs transmission failures?

The problem was that the transmission cost $20k. So when people repeatedly launched the thing and it blew up it was a spendy problem and turned a bitched at Nissan. Nissan got sick of this removed the LC on the 2010 and 2011.
They reintroduced it on the 2012. It has a bunch of monitors and won't let you launch the car if transmission oil temp. is too high. Once the temp falls back into an acceptable range it can be launched again. -
Zach u must be really bored? So if he does go to the track an run 11.3 or Quicker are ya gonna stick ur foot in ur mouth?

Mr. Brown is not hating or doubting at all, until you have a time-slip from a drag strip with the proper timing equipment everything else is unverifiable. That vbox may very well be extremely accurate and this conversation a moot point but it's like saying I ran a 4.5 40 yard dash by counting in my head.Oh and I'm with Faber I'd love to verify the performance first hand from the passenger seat

It isn't moot because the equipment is accurate. And Mr brown was doubting and hating.
Why make snide comments then?
And you're more than welcome to take a spin.
Frankly I don't even care about quarter mile times. I just threw it out there because its a standard performance benchmark.
The quarter is for one dimensional cars . -

The quarter is for one dimensional cars .Take the GTR out and do some auto-x or road course racing. Its a blast!

"Look guys my car went low 11's with a rollout on my nifty GPS thingamajig. Add me to the top 20 fastest list! Afterall it is the EXACT SAME thing as a real drag strip, right??"
-
I'm gonna agree with Zac on this one.
Until the time is run at a legit dragstrip with legit timing equipment, the vehicle hasn't run that time.
Now, it may run the same time at the track. If it does, congrats.
I don't care what a vbox, gbox, xbox, gtech or vtec says.
BTW.....low 11s will prolly get you into the Quick 8.

Me thinks its you that has his panties in a bunch. Did I say it was at a drag strip? Did I say I wanted to be placed on anyones drag times list?
No. I said I ran a quarter mile with a 1 ft rollout with a Vbox. If you think the instrument is wrong back it up. I don't think its wrong. It has had consistent reads since I bought it (on a variety of vehicles) and they're usually very close to most conservative reviews (ie none of the Car and Driver fudging to make a car seem faster than it is).
Now, do I think its as accurate as being measured at a drag strip? No. But it's pretty close and gives a pretty clear indication of what the car would do if it were at a one.
I am confused as to your gripe. Is it that the instrument is unreliable? Or that the car isn't that fast? -

So I assume you're questioning all the benchmarks(0-60, 0-100, 1/4) I gave then?

I'm not trying to fight with you. I will stand by my statement though. If it didn't run it at a dragstrip, it didn't run it.

^^^where did I say it ran at a drag strip? It definitely went a quarter mile. Several times. Timed. Measured.
Are you saying I'm lying about that?I didn't say, that you said, that it ran at a track. We all know it didn't. I have little faith in your timing equipment.
Of course it went a quarter mile. It's been plenty of quarter miles. Just read the odometer.
Bring me to the road you ran on and point to the starting and finish lines. We can even measure between them.

Dude just settle, I gave you some bait and you took it, no body is serious
Yes the car is fast and will turn good times obviously. I was trying to get a rise out of you like I do everyone and it worked

^^^^^^Truth.
I also read on nhra.com that all cars competing at national events will be equipped with a Vbox, so they can do away with traditional timing lights.
