Thread 28454147

For a car that's damn near 20 years old, it still manages to generate serious levels of seethe. What causes this phenomenon?

At this point, I think the only possible way the GTR could make people seethe even harder is if they announced a limited run final final edition (for real this time) and btfo'd every modern production car (again).

>>28454147 (OP)
based

Because whitoids cant comprehend that jap bugmen are able to make better cars than them

>>28454244
SAAAAAAAAAR

>>28454244
the GTR is for white men, meanwhile the Corvette:

>>28454147 (OP)
It's crazy that people still compare new generation corvettes/911s to a car that was basically unchanged since 2009 except for getting like 50hp extra

>>28454147 (OP)
I still have hopium that nissan will reverse course on the r36 and ditch the hybrid shit

>>28454147 (OP)
this viper is nearly 30 years old, and is faster.

>>28454249
O-oh no! How can we ever recover, fellow Datsun sissies!? Even my gf's bull has one :(

>>28454266
>yfw they admitted the NSX was superior all along

>>28454289
average black person cant afford a GTR. on average they are more expensive than a corvette.

>>28454267
>It is a purpose-built race car, and is not street-legal.
yawn

>>28454306
so in the same category as the GTR, then.

>>28454318
>B-but the weather was 2 degrees colder, and the driver weighed a little less! A-and-

>>28454318
>so in the same [HEADCANNON]
See that little white plate on the front of the car? Guess what it is.

>7:01
GT-R cope intensifies

>>28454326
>A-and the Datsun had extra weight because of those register plates! A-and-

>>28454326
a dealer plate only manufacturers can get. which can be given to anything because such a car doesn't have to pass inspection to get it.

>>28454329
Curious to see how will the C8 ZR1 do.

>>28454335
Street
Legal
Oem
Option

Stop the cope.

>>28454342
not what it says here>>28454318

stop coping with being slower.

>>28454344
Wikipedia also says that men can menstruate.

>>28454342
And yet none of them were even available to the public when the lap time was made.

kek u literally cannot make this shit up

Lol...

>>28454344
>PLEASE ignore the GTR N-Attack packages on the road. The information from Nissan is fake news too. Those don't count because I wasn't alive 10 years ago o algo.

>>28454355
>THE MANUFACTURER TESTED THEIR CAR BEFORE SELLING IT!!!!
how far will the cope go

You guys really aren't proving the seethe accusations wrong.

>>28454355
Well that's pretty typical for every manufacturer. The lap times are used as promotion material for the launch of the car.

>>28454384
not all manufacturer's production cars can match their prototype's however.

>>28454394
some exceed it

>>28454266
Even Corvette basically admitted that hybrids are the future of sports cars with the E-ray; if Nissan went further and developed a legit sports car instead of a GT car then it'd probably BTFO the current Vette lineup like before.
Only problem is that Nissan actually has to make the car, which gets less and less likely as the months go by

>>28454338
I wish the Viper ACR got another chance on non-shit tires. 7:01 on Kumhos could easily be a 6:5x on PSC2s

>>28454407
problem is that gen for gen, there has never been any nissan faster than the corvette
in all likelihood, even if nissan manages to scrape up enough capital to produce the 1k hp models, it still loses to the c8 zr1

>>28454417
Gen for gen doesn't matter. There's only one generation R35. Comparing a C8 to an unchanged generation from 2009 as if its equal is just pathetic lmao. And yet GTR still wins kek!

>>28454421
>There's only one generation R35.
correct, and they're all slower than corvette

>>28454421
>kek
Oh fuck off to /v/ you child.

>>28454430
damn

>all these retards missing the point
it's a tuner car, not a ferrari

>>28454451
>4000lbs
>"tuner car"
loL

>>28454430
>posting fake lap times

>>28454453
Same weight as the C8

>Viper
not production nor street legal, no viper comes stock with a rollcage, racing seats or racing harness

>Corvette
Ran a different variant of the race track, with a modified exhaust to comply noise regulations, no corvette comes stock with this exhaust.

inb4 denial and butthurt lol

>>28454403
>This lap time is straight up fake, Jim Mero states in an interview with AutoEvolution that he came up with this time after subtracting the time lost on a chicane or some BS like that, this site has never been known for having accurate information but uploading fake lap times is a new low lol

>>28454574
>not production nor street legal, no viper comes stock with a rollcage, racing seats or racing harness
Not relevant, lap counts as a production vehicle per biggarage.de and is faster than the GayTee-Arr and did so on worse tires

>>28454626
>Not relevant
source?

>>28454631
The 'Ring allows roll cages, 5/6 point harnesses, and aftermarket bucket seats, ones with head restraints/"ears" are only banned during Touristenfahrten, not private track sessions.

>>28454642
And all of that came on the viper from the factory, as a production car?

>>28454642
>The 'Ring allows

>>28454645
Changes made in the interest of driver safety don't invalidate a lap, dumb frogposter. Otherwise all laps done by cars with roll cages and multipoint harnesses are invalid.
>>28454665
Yes.

Use your brain, 2head
2 other notes: the Mustang GTD lap of 6:52.072 was done with an aftermarket seat and cage :)
Jim Mero's fastest valid lap in the C7 ZR1 was a 7:06 :)

>>28454683
>2 other notes: the Mustang GTD lap of 6:52.072 was done with an aftermarket seat and cage :)
so it's irrelevant to the converssation

>im Mero's fastest valid lap in the C7 ZR1 was a 7:06
proof?

>>28454688
>so it's irrelevant to the converssation
It's entirely relevant. The 'Ring posted it on their official Youtube channel as a valid lap, so your dismissal of the Viper's lap due to it having those exact same things is DEBOONKED.
>proof?
Jim himself, lap was done with cooling issues so the car only made ~655hp.
:)

>>28454453
>~1.6tonne
Not too heavy for the size segment.

>>28454672
>This car, named Viper ACR-X, added to the basic ACR 40 hp (30 kW), a new set of downforce-enhancing front canards, long tube headers from American Racing Headers, and new materials that, along with a stripped interior, reduced weight to 3,300 lb (1,497 kg). It is a purpose-built race car, and is not street-legal.

>confusing the ZB II (4th gen) ACR-X with the VX I (5th gen) ACR-E
Former was never street legal, latter absolutely is. Both are still faster than the GayTee-Arr :)

Imagine the utter assblasting the r36 will do

>>28455160
Nigsan will shit the bed and gets sold to Indians way before that.

>>28454704
>the ring
the ring also posted the 919 lap, we are discussing street legal production cars, and the mustang gtd was not, neither were the viper or the corvette

>Jim mero
i don't trust him considering he shilled for a fake 7:04 laptime to promote his tuning services is there any video evidence?

>>28454912
kill yourself /n/igger

new meme just dropped

kek, now I have to fix this shit

>>28455528
>the ring also posted the 919 lap, we are discussing street legal production cars, and the mustang gtd was not, neither were the viper or the corvette
Mustang GTD is street legal you dumb nigger, as are both the 5th gen Viper ACR Extreme Aero and C7 ZR1.
>i don't trust him considering he shilled for a fake 7:04 laptime to promote his tuning services is there any video evidence?
GM never released the lap times
>his tuning services
He was employed by GM at that time, what "tuning services"?

>>28455648
>Mustang GTD is street legal you dumb nigger
no it isn't lol, pic related
>as are both the 5th gen Viper ACR Extreme Aero and C7 ZR1.
nope, see >>28454574
>>28454576

>GM never released the lap times
not my problem

>He was employed by GM at that time, what "tuning services"?
no he was not, he wasn't employed whtn he released them

reported for racism btw

>>28456355
>no it isn't lol, pic related
Yes it is.
>nope see
Literally irrelevant, the cars are still street legal and I've already DEBOONKED this point here>>28454672
>not my problem
GM makes a lot of idiotic decisions, this was one of them.
>no he was not, he wasnt employed whtn he released them
Only reason why he was able to mention the times was due to him retiring.
>reported for racism btw
Don't be a nigger then. Accept that your denial of the Viper's lap is wrong.
