Kinda repost...


But here's my question... If Nissan floors your GTR's motor, do you need to "break it in"

I would say no break in period. From the second video, they say the car is ready to race as soon as it is delivered.

You don't think they redline the 370 too?
They probably don't dyno it, but I bet they redline it

I would bet they take the 370 to redline. I think I read somewhere that they do.

After watching that. I think $100,000 for a GT-R isn't unreasonable. I respect that car 10x more now and I already Highly respected it before I watched the documentary.

I love the fact that they went away from the norm, and went with a BOXY car which still produced a very low drag efficient.

This is old but I just saw this vid and goes with what I've always said...no break in period! Best breakins I've done have always been on the track during a track day. This vid is just proof...dyno'd then redlined during the 30km driving test. Bikes are also dynoed and redlined in Japan at the factory!
