R35 Skyline GTR- 11.67@111mph hitting speed limiter
-
It will be interesting to see what it will actually run when it isn't speed limited. I think it will be very close to Z06.
-
im guessing it will do 11.40's at around 117-118, which will beat most stock zo6's, just from a lack of traction. Its alot harder to get a ZO6 moving than that thing, all you do is mash the pedal in the r35. But it wont hold a candle to a ZO6 from a roll, it is one big ass tank

IMHO i would take a sexy R35 instead of a z06 even if in fact the chevy is faster.

The first two US market R35 are in the states. As of about 5 pm yesterday someone snapped pics of two white R35's outside a shop in cali.

Jeeez...y'all are forgetting that EVERYONE thought Skylines were ugly until 2 Fast 2 Furious. Then everyone jums on the R34 bandwagon, hardly realizing there was even an R33 in the first one, haha.
They ain't made to be pretty. They're designed the way they are to incorporate superior aerodynamics, and guess what! The GT-R has a lower drag coefficiency than the Z06.
The GT-R is faster than the 911 Turbo on the Nurburgring, which was Nissan's target. The Z06 will fall to it in performance. Sales, however...I know that all the GT-R's are going fast. FL had all preorder slots filled at the beginning of the year. Whether it will beat the Z06, who knows.
And y'all are calling the GT-R a pig...shit, a C6 ain't a featherweight either, ya know.

I still think the R34 is ugly.
Also, The regular C6 only weighs in a 3240 lbs. It's only 100 lbs more than the Z06 at 3132 lbs. Neither one are pigs when comparing it to a 3900 lb car.
I disagree that the Z06 will fall to it in performance.
Nissan has said "the GT-R will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, finish the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds "
So there is probably a chance some good driver will get better out of it, but I don't think it will take the Z06.

Point is, nobody on here can drive a GT-R or a Z06 at 10/10ths. It's a matter of what you like, and I think the GT-R offers a lot to like.
It will be interesting to see what they do to them in the US market -- in Japan the car is ridiculous... the ECU is tied into a GPS receiver.. you cannot exceed a certain speed unless you're at a known race track. Immediately after going to the track you need a "post track" service at a Nissan dealer for $1k.. wheels cannot be changed, etc etc. Total cock-up IMO.
It remains to be seen what kind of gayness accompanies the GT-R in the USA.
