That R35 GT-R looks even better without the Nissan badge. Just as how beautiful the Corvette is without the Chevrolet badge.]]>Feb 1st 2008 7:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/
Autoblog, why have you been messing with the comments section recently? Bring back the regular Reply button :( Also, is there any particular reason why I was temporarily able to vote people down but not up? Fear not, gentle readers, I didn't use it! Besides, normally I can't use either one. Is there any particular reason for this, do I need to use another browser or something bizarre? (Firefox, in case you're curious.)]]>Feb 1st 2008 11:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/

In short, this is just downright ricing...]]>Feb 1st 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_drag

If you make a lot of downforce with a low cD, it's because cD is drag over frontal area. Give your car a big frontal area and the cD from the downforce becomes numerically smaller even though the drag from downforce doesn't.]]>Feb 1st 2008 8:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/
its not really fair to say that lift/downforce is drag, some cars make their downforce more efficiently than others. its usually measured in pound of down force/pounds of drag. a very efficient car can make 10/1 something more typical for a ricer wing would be 4/1

the gtr does seem to be a very nicely shaped car partially offsetting its size but nothing can undo the weight. 3800 lbs is piggish. the car is nowhere near as fast as people think it is.

to those of you who actually think the car did 7:38 in the wet, did you actually watch the video that nissan put out? they clearly show the NOT STOCK TIRES being put on the car. you know how I know they were not stock? because the stock rubber WAS STACKED UP NEXT TO THE CAR. you can clearly see THEY ARE DIFFERENT, RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, AND ON THE SCREEN AT THE SAME TIME!!!

and someone please explain to me how stock tire gets mistranslated to "cut slick"???

I stand by my prediction that the GTR is not as fast as an '08 z51 vette]]>Feb 1st 2008 11:56PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/Feb 1st 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/

Faster soon. ]]>Feb 1st 2008 10:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/Feb 1st 2008 8:21PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/
GT-R really did 7:38.

The whole "nissan used cut slick tires" speculation is nothing but false information in an attempt to discredit Nissan. There are sources that already debunked the "cut slick tire" speculation.

Now Look at the GT-R Nurburgring run in HIGHER QUALITY. Most of us saw it low quality in youtube. Now tell us if the tires they prepared are cut slicks...

The Nissan GT-R should be a real wake-up call to other high performance car manufacturers and it will redefine what a real SUPER CAR is, not just some over-glorified trophy that even requires maintenance while sitting in garage!]]>Feb 1st 2008 8:30PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/you-knew-this-was-coming-r35-gt-r-with-massive-wing/Feb 2nd 2008 11:29AM
