this one runs 10.56 (still tweaking) through IRS and is real close to the 4000lb mark. Somewhere around 500HP still I think.

I've been wrong before

just hard to believe that a factory car, loaded up like that appears to be, probably w/ a manaul and awd is running tens.......

I wouldn't call it a production car if there are only going to be 20 made. It is a specialty car. Tons of companies produce specialty cars in low low numbers that are insanely fast.

its all a sham, everyone knows that saturns are the fastest...O wait i was dreaming that part, wow thats an expensive car, how come nobody has one of those on MTV Cribs??

much, much faster

[Flowcus]

There are so many carbon fiber parts on that car though... Carbon Fiber driveshaft? Removes 9lbs of rotating mass from the driveshaft... thats gotta free up massive power to the wheels.... I dunno I can see that car running 10's

I think 500whp would put me pretty low in the elevens and I weigh 4000lbs........

[Guest]

I'd love to see what 500whp would put me at.

Actually, the new Ford GT has 550hp. That's the fastest. In america I guess. Damn germans.

the Koenigsegg CCR is made in Sweden if I'm not mistaken. I WOULD KILL to have a Koenigsegg CCR

Them saying this skyline will run tens isn't half as funny as some dude where I work telling me the dodge sr-10 pickup (might have screwed that up :p) ran 7 seconds in the 1/4 mile stock lol. Wonder if they are underating the HP on that car like they usually do?????

[GarageAlchemist]

500 hp and a Getrag gear box? that sounds like a good recipe for 10's. You should watch the TopGear episode on the Skyline. That car is an automotive masterpiece.

I used to own/race a R34 GTR when I lived in Japan. I had 501 at the wheels and the best quater I ever ran was 11.03. Thats with mods. Not to mention the car was completly gutted, anthything that added weight was taken out, ex: Air Conditioner. I weighed in at a little under 2,000 lbs. So I don't know how he can be that fast, if it came straight from the factory????
I'm stickin with Dangler on the bullshit flag.

i dunno i was just saying that it is a hella sweet car.

I hope you are being sarcastic...

[legacy-user-33]

I don't why you guys are questioning the specs released by Nismo. I don't think Nissan would be lying to 20 customers who are putting out $170k each.

getrag is the bomb
