A twin turbo V-6. Not that impressive when you consider they're getting over 300 hp out of a naturally aspirated V-6 these days.

Name me another production v6 naturally aspirated or forced induced that can beat a gtr on the Nurburgring. The Dodge Viper ACR (8.4L V10) And the Lexus LFA (4.8L V10) are the only productions cares who have better times that the gtr.

Ahhh, no.
I don't really care about the Nurburgring, I'll never drive it.
I was just responding to you about the twin turbo V-6 being fast. I like fast, but in a straight line.
I'll never drive that course, or buy a car that does well on it. :suds:
They won't let me do 160 mph on my streets..

I said the Nurburgring because it is probably the most respected and well known of the elite "road" courses. I, personally, don't give a shit about 1/8 and 1/4 mile times because it is a piss poor representation of real world speed. Just because a car can get up to top speed quickly in a straight line, does not mean it can hang with other cars in real world-ish circumstances. A funny car may go 300+ mph, but if you drive it down the road that you probably live on then it will most likely crash into something because it's not built to turn at a high rate of speed. I like the best of both worlds.....speed and handling. 1/4 times are like 40 times for a guard when it comes to football.....not worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on. :happy:

^^^ With that said though....the 2013 GTR is still about a full second faster in the 1/4 mile than a 2014 c7 Corvette and about a half second faster than the 2014 SRT Viper.
