They are just nuts....because when you stand beside one, other than it being low, the thing that stands out is that it is HUGE. It's wide, and long, and very 'full' looking.
It is a huge car but you never notice it when driving. I got 11.7 @ 119-120 stock and with Cobb off-the-shelf high boost beta tune only it went 11.21 at 123.5. Wih a safe custum tune, it'd do better but I never got one at that time. I then added 2012+ turbo inlet pipes and midpipe and generic Cobb stage 2 tune(cobb's high boost beta maps)and went 11.0x @ 125.x during the summer. All on stock LC where you can not disable VDC/DSC and only keep it in race mod. As the power increases with bolt ons, sometimes it bogs down off the line if the prep is not good.

I now have full bolt ons except exhaust since I recently added downpipes, intake, injectors and custum tune and will be going to several track rentals this month and next month to see what it does. I'll be using the latest LC similar to 2012-13 models but cobb and other tuner allow you to disable VDC.

Guys who also upgrade fuel pumps can run E85 and trap low 130's.

^^Yeah GTR's are crazy fast with just lite mods. I know the SBD700 package will get you 575awhp and 600+awtq for just over $4k and the SIR stage 1 turbo's are producing great numbers 700+awhp for what $2k! My only issue with the car is its lack of torque below 3,500rpm. Is that lack of power downlow still noticiable with your current mods?

I found the low rpm torque sufficient even in stock form but it is much improved. I owned several BMW M cars before the GT-R, so relatively speaking, it is torquey down low, but perhaps not like a Corvette or AMG cars.

hopefully you GTR lovers saw this...pretty mental. Hopefully it's legit. The timeslip is cutoff and the video was too. You don't see the time on the clocks...you just hear her say '11.7-' while filming and it then cuts off abruptly.

Did kevkev buy a GTR? lol
