Talk about catching up! :eek: :tup: :driving:

someone f'd up the launch with that Vette. You can see how much wheel spin he had... lit the tires up.

it was orchestrated by asians xD

but anywho, check out the babe who flagged the race

Nice that was icing on the cake for me. Sweet race

:eek:

Russians are considered Asian?

It was clear by the video that at the half-way point the only reason that Vette made any ground up was because the driver of the GT-R was easing off until the Vette made up his lost ground. That GT-R driver was just pouring some salt in the Vette driver's wound. I use to do it all the time when I raced Vettes in my Mustang Cobra Terminator.

i will leave now, i really just saw the girl and cars didnt pay any attention to other stuff, just assuming:inoutroflpuke:

Actually he was not letting up. The Vette on the top end wil catch the GTR all day long. The GTR is only going ot pull strong off the line with all wheel drive. At some point weight and hp are going to take over and thats exactly what happend. There are numerous videos of Vettes and Vipers whipping up on the GTR... why should this one be any different???

I can get the jump on Vettes all day long with my modded Jeep SRT-8 because of the all wheel drive but it wont be long until they are catching me.

Exactly. If the 'Vette hooked off the line we'd have seen it pulling away from the GTR.

I stand by what I say as as I have personally witnessed a GT-R hand Vettes and Mustangs their butts to them.

GIVEN MORE TRACK LENGTH anyone can claim that any car with top end power will eventually overtake the better off-the-line car / driver.

It is what it is though as a 1/4 mile is what it officially is. And I don't see any movement out their wanting to extend the track length so a particular car or driver can do better against other cars that are set up correctly to maximize hooking the road. And as they say in the drag world if you can't get it done in a 1/4 mile then you need to either get a different car or configure the car you are driving better....

The outcome is what it is...a loss for the Vette and in this case less power was more and a victory...and that makes the GT-R an all around better and stronger car.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to throw the BS flag out on this one. The GTR should get a better launch (assuming they didn't mind voiding the warranty), but it's heavier not nearly as aerodynamic as the Vette. The Vette has more power, and LIKELY has a lot more torque which is really what wins drag races.

I would say this was a BS video.

you make no sense. you are saying the GTR has a better launch...which is shown in the vid, then that the Vette has more HP (which is shown in the vid as well) and TQ + better aerodynamics (known fact). The vid portrays just that....launch GTR owns (+ it has the HKS kit), then further down the road when overall hp + tq + aerodynamic really come into play the Vette catches up.

:wtf: are you smoking :ugh2:

that is one hilarious assumption with no proof :rofl2:

American Muscle caught up quite well !!

The Gt-R driver was drinking some soda and stopped paying attention to the Corvette.

i want to see another run between those 2 cars. if the gtr was not letting off then the vette had to have a horrible start. i demand a re-match.

I suspect an invisible tow line that pulled the Corvette, which caused it to catch up.

lol, why would the GTR let off. look at the other vids from those people and none of the cars are letting off. the vette seems to have had some minor traction issues.

I make perfect sense... By the end of the race (I assume was more than a quarter based on the time it took to finish - 20 seconds) there is no way that the GTR got so far ahead on the launch that the Vette wouldn't have beat it. So I call BS.

Look, I'm not knocking Nissan. I'm just saying that those numbers don't add up right.

Take it easy fellas. It's a dragrace not a conspiracy.....lol

chevy paid the Gt-R to let off....lol

^^^ LOL! Damn old fool! :D

Gt-R launched and bye bye then Corvette spun a bit and Nawzzzzz it.

this race is exactly what happened when i raced this evo at the track last week.. he killed me off the line by like 2 car lenghts but mid track i started gaining a LOT of ground and by the end we where side by side. 3rd gear drop and the corvette would leave the GTR

How dare anyone say that a Vette can beat a NISSAN??????

Even a limited edition Nismo Versa can beat a Z06!!!!

...if the 1/4 mile track was extended...

^^ then it wouldn't be a 1/4 mile anymore...lol

Corvette needs a 1/2 mile track

Catching up doesn't win races unless the car catching up crosses the finish line first....which obviously wasn't the case in the video...so why do you Vette-mongers continue to let your denial in your minds create a "happy" ending :supergay: and excuse for the Vette that your own eyes can't substantiate or rationalize?

^ not able to get jokes

Wait...so was this a 1/4 mile race or a mile race or just a race till you hit the end of our cones?

How about just "normal" everyday traction issues that everyone racing has to cope with????

Ever since the Cobra Mustang Terminator came out in 2003 and started handing Vettes their butts the Vette-mongers have done nothing but whine and had excuse after excuse whenever they lose a race.

Man, why don't they just shut-up, grow a pair :nutswinger: and "man-up" once and for all instead of acting like a whining pussy everytime one gets beat...:owned:

:icon18::icon18::icon18::icon18::icon18:

^ just quote all the post and reply to each in one post...lol

How long was that race? took forever and covered alot of ground. doesn't look like the vette was even close in the 1/4 mile.

shouldn't a Z06 with the Lingenfelter package win a race like this? what does all that cost? If I bought a Z06 and spent all that money on the Lingenfelter package and still needed a 58 mile long freeway to beat a GTR I would just sell the vette and buy a GTR.

BTW, I think they have 1/4 mile and 1 mile track

^ I like

It was a 1 mile track. The race took 20 seconds. Which is why that was BS. And that GTR wasn't stock, LSUTurboTiger. It was putting out 120HP more than stock.

Either way, the Vette would still have lost at the end of the 1/4, but should have KILLED the GTR at the end of a mile.

Second video makes sense. The GT is about the same weight, but has over 300HP more. I think the stock GT would have just barely lost against the LPE Vette, but stock for stock, the GT would win I believe. I really like the GTs. My friend was about to buy one so I got to sit in it... Wow... I felt right at home in it.

not sure what you're trying to get at since i dislike Vette's, just saying that is the reason why the Vette fell so far behind. i'm sure any rwd car w/high hp would have dealt with the same issue.

OT: they have good races with good cam quality :tup:

Talk about traction issues, that GT took forever to hook...

:tup: nice ak, thanks for sharing
