I love it! Hoping Ford has a plan for putting the power down, though. According to one of the rags that got to test one of the mules they think the car will be running mid 11s with the launch control system. And we'll see if they ever release a Nurburgring time.

On street tires, no. I don't think anyone has suggested it will.
Would like to see what a stock one would do on some drag slicks.

How is it bad? What would a RWD GT-R run?

People need to be realistic when they think about 1/4 mile times for a RWD car like this... on street tires. It's not going to hook like AWD.

"technically" on full acceleration like a drag strip the GTR is 98% RWD so with DCT LC and 545 hp the hypothetical fan boy bench racer in my says it would probably be faster than you think faster than a LFA probably ..so 11.4 ish i bet so maybe .6 off but yeah i know im just saying when you see these outrageous #'s on a car thats meant to go straight for the most part anyway you just assume its should be faster than it is... if you cant use the 662 then what... and the 2nd most talked about internet bench mark is 60-130 it would fare a little better there like i saw this article and looking at the performance #s i was confused 2012 Chevy Camaro SLP Panther 600 Full Test Last edited by MC; 04-27-2012 at 11:47 PM. |
