"The ultimate road going car in the world" - Worlds fastest production car
 

http://sportcompactcarweb.com/featur...yline_19_z.jpg

The Z-tune GTR. Only 20 will be made. 170k US price tag. 500 (claimed hp, im betting its a ton more) and 400 tq (again, claimed). Does the 400 meter (a hair under a quarter mile) in 10.06 seconds. But to quote Sport Compact Car, "It's no drag car". 782 lb-inch springs. With R compound tires this thing would be unstoppable :2 cents:

More here at its official site...

Now if only I had 170k lying around :(

What are you thinkin?

With 170k I could build you a half-dozen Mustangs that would
outrun, outhandle that damn ugly Riceburner. And probably get about
the same MPG...

This car has no style.. no sexappeal.
Ok.. it hauls ass and handles... but not 170k worth.

NO WAY

I was expecting replies from the anti-Japanese car crowd. Move along.

Edit: And I'm laughing about the part where you claim mustangs could out-handle it.

it is not the fastest production car made.

This is.

It is quarter mile wise.

edit: Which is more important than having 388 km/h at your disposal (no one's dumb enough to do that on a public road)

Thats one ugly car.

so is it US "street legal"?

does it come with a coffin for when you wrap it around a pole lol

Nope :(

It does 0-100K in 3.2 seconds...I doubt that a sup'd up Nissan is going to beat that.

:2 cents:

AWD is an amazing thing....

170thousand dollars and still a ricer


i like the koenigsegg more

i don't really care for the car.
i like big old man cars. lincoln towncars and mercury grand marquis

More anti-Japanese car crowd. Continue moving along.

:1orglaugh

I appreciate all cars my man. Especially the ones that make your bunghole
pucker as you grab 2nd or dive into a tight corner. And trust me, one ride
in my VW or Mustang and you would not even be able to say the word "Nissan". and yes.. I said VW...

and hey - I OWN a Nissan Truck and I love it so :321GFY on callin
me a anti-Japanese car guy !!

but 170k for the stats that the GTR offers is not realistic. Nor Sane.
I could get a 350z used for 20k and install "Warp Drive" for 150k :2 cents:

the Koenigsegg does the 1/4 mile in 9 seconds.

I guess you didnt read the stats from Nismo's website. No VW or mustang is going to outhandle a machine that uses parts found on Nismo's race cars.

i agree, i doubt its even worth the price tag

There's only 20 being made. It's exclusive. I doubt the ferrari enzo is worth the million dollars it's selling for now, and it's slower than the Z-tune.

Anti or not, it's just plain ugly.

I think it looks muscular. And the aero parts actually serve a purpose....

and I guess you're one that believes everything you read!!

When you get your 170k Nismo... call me..
I will drive up in my 30k Mustang and just spank the life outta that Nismo Gizmo... :1orglaugh

Takes more than a fast car to win.
Man and machine must be one.

So you claim that you're outrageous driving skills can make up for the mustangs god-awful handling traits? The fact that you claim a mustang can outhandle a road legal race car makes me nauseous.

That wing is stock on the GTR. The only difference is the one on the Z-tune is dry carbon - Lighter weight.

You missed me showing you that the Swedes will still kick the Nissan's ass.

Didn't want you to think that you were right. :winkwink:

I'm actually looking on google now, some sites say it runs 10's, others say it runs 9's. So what is it?

No.. I said my skills in my car vs. your skills in that car...


you ever hear of Global West Suspension Systems?
Hotchkis Suspension Systems?

you ever hear of a straight axle car pulling more than 1G on
lateral skidpad? There are more aftermarket parts made for Mustangs
than any other vehicle alive...

and Im not saying they are the baddest
thing on the planet... Im just saying buck for buck they cant be beat.

Take your pick. These are not estimates.

Preach on, brother! :thumbsup

as much as i love some of the jap cars. That thing doesn't appeal to me.

I think the success and the fun of the skyline has been modding the car yourself, you buy it, tweak the shit out of it, and you get a modestly priced amazing machine. But paying $170K for someone to do it for you defeats the whole point of the car, its not a concept car, its not flashy, its not about looks, or brands with the skyline, its about performance, and I dont think $170K is justifiable for what its offering, not in that package. Im sure there are plenty of guys in Japan who have killer skyline's just laughing their asses off when someone pays that amount for the car and they beat them on the street with the same car for half the price.

Hey man, what type of VW do you have?

Good god,

Lol I don;t think the Datsun would stand a chance :)

All the mustangs I've ever seen at race tracks get passed by FWD cars in the corners. And the Mustang is still using suspension technology that was space aged.... for 1971.

And why are you comparing my skills in the Z-tune to your skills in the mustang? I've never even driven a z-tune, let alone seen one in person. Put a proffesional driver in your mustang and a proffesional driver in the Z-tune. The Z-tune is modern Japanese technology at its finest. Mustangs, as I said above, were modern technology... 30 years ago. No ammount of aftermarket parts off the shelf in a Mustang are going to compare to racing parts in a gtr.

Your mustangs suspension pieces are starting to look a little weak.

looks pretty sweet to me, and mustangs suck, drive a mile, walk the rest.

As I said before, it goes back to it being an exclusive car. If you've got more money then you'll ever need, why not indulge in a rediculously rare car? People do it all the time with Enzo's...

Hell, what about the guy that spent 3 million dollars on a prototype car that was built in the 50's? Or the guy who spends 500k for an original shelby cobra? It's about being exclusive and being able to say, "I have one". :2 cents:

OH, now we're talking! My dad almost bought one back in the day for $6K.

unimpressed. looks like nothing more then a grocery getter with a fucking wing.

If I had the money, I'd have a shelby cobra and it'd never leave my garage without an armed guard keeping people at least 30 feet away from it :thumbsup

In 1989, the skyline GTR was released and set the production car lap record around the Nurburgring. Then, it was banned from most racing series because it wouldn't stop winning.

That's one hell of a grocery getter...

No shit. I'd consider trading my Saleen for a kit version...figure that's as close as I'll get to a real one anytime soon. I've even got a 460 completely rebuild ready to drop in, assuming I can make it fit. lol

Warp Drive hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahaha

HAHAHJAHHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHHAJAAAAHJJAHAHAHAHAH

Thanks BigB that made my morning

You can lead a tuner to water but..... :helpme

I agree totally B! I don't know of any car that has more bang for the buck than the mustangs.

BTW this thread is useless without MUSTANG pics!! :winkwink:

Bang for your buck in a straight line, Mustangs are pretty much the way to go. But claiming your mustang with some aftermarket suspension parts can beat a car that has a suspension exclusive to it, that was developed by the same guys who build the Nismo GT500 race cars is ludicrous. :2 cents:

It looks hot.

$170K for that? :(

Yep... :thumbsup

I used to Drag Race VWs.
Have not for a couple of years now...
I still have one chassis car... with a 3 liter Autocraft Motor with
water cooled heads...

oh.. Adam.. Ive been 8.98secs in a VW at 159.98 MPH :warning
