i don't know you guys are thinkin but a stock C5 cannot hit 12's on the quarter. therefore any GT-R will beat them in a drag or in a track. i have yet to see a corvette break the 8 minute lap time on the nuremburg. skyline was the first mass produced car in the world to do that. i'm pretty sure another car will break it soon too but it was the R33 that broke that record, and the R34 will wax the R33 at a track.

a stock C5 not running 12s in the 1/4 is only due to the shitty runflats they come with stock, and a few HAVE run 12s. put regular tires ont he cars and they have the power/weight ratios, and i've yet to see any real info of skylines running 12s bone stock. and corvettes arent popular over there, nor are they extensivly tested, nissan purposely sent a driver and car there to go and run those times so they had some backing for the skyline, put a driver in the car long enough and if the car isnt terrible he'll eventually run a good time. and if the R34 is that much better why hasnt it bested the R33s time yet? they've been out for plenty of time? and what are the handling improvements over the R33? I hope its more then the AWD system . . .

have you ever been to or seen the full Nurburgring Nordschliefe circuit? It is not a circuit that you can just keep on imroving and improving on. It is so hard that once a car has reached its limit it cant be pushed any harder

I've seen some aerial shots and a few videos of it. Thats exactly my point, once the car has reached its limit, but do you know if the car has reached that limit yet? it takes alot of time and practice to push a car that hard around a course as challenging as that. and every course reaches a point where the car cant be pushed anyharder, but a driver in a new car wont be abvle to do that on the firsty try.

The day the Corvette is offered as right hand drive is the day I'll choose it over the Skyline. How else am I supposed to talk to chicks while crawlin down the strip?? (Besides ppl tend to think your "goods" aren't up to snuff when you have a 'real' sports car)

yeah, but the guys who put in the lap times have done thousands of laps around the track, they know every little dip and bend in the road. It may take a few laps to get used to a new car, but it wont take at all long to find the limits and set some good times

as for having real proof of skylines running 12's. i have non except for countless testing videos of them in bestmotoring. and most of the time i've seen skylines hit 12's on a few occasions 13 flat. but i've seen it hit 12's more then 13's.
