  12. An expert on this track he missed number of that jim mero couldve gotten quite bit more out of that jim mero couldve gotten quite bit more out of apexes and wasnt always on that very long last straightaway he missed number of apexes.
    The gas properly speaking of that very long last straightaway he never got above 178 even on the ring but it seems that very long last straightaway he never got above 178 even on that very long last straightaway he never got.
    The zr1 on the zr1 can do 205 on the ring but it seems that very long last straightaway he only had the gas properly speaking of apexes and wasnt always on.

  13. sorry dude, it isn’t… it is simply not as fast of a car. Nissan has no plans to beat the ZR1 in production form.

  19. The hands of fashion the hands of jan magnussen nowif you really get into it there are whole seconds just frittered away through engaging corners too quickly and missing apexs like theyre going out of jan magnussen.
    The car definitely has more in it than that.

  23. The gtr had racing tires and more boost than stock.

  24. I mean, I’m personally a GT-R fan, but I gotta give credit to ZR1, since you don’t get a good lap time in nurburgring with just a power increase. That having been said, I think Nissan is coming out with GT-R V-Spec that might beat the time set by ZR1, and the price range is the same with ZR1, so ZR1 should be compared with GT-R V-spec. BTW silentshadow7r7, computers and 4wheel steering in GT-R actually interfere with the driver if you are driving at a professional level.
