Your first thought when seeing this thread title was probably something like "LOL! no comparison" You might want to think again.. the platforms are virtually identicle except for 160hp difference. 3 liter V6, twin turbos, AWD same weight, even same skid pad numbers!

GTR 2012*******99 VR4

3,800 LBS**********3,737 LBS

480 hp************320 hp

430 torq***********315 torq

1/4th 11.8 @118mph**1/4th 13.9 @102mph

0-60 3.8************0-60 5.5

Skidpad .93G*********Skidpad .90G

-----------------------------------------

The numbers just don't add up..

The VR4 is widly criticized on forums as being a
"whale" and virtually too heavy to compete as a real sports
car in stock form. They also admittedly call it a "grand touring" car
more then anything. HOWEVER.. It weights less then "Godzilla" GTR
that is considered one of the best supercars made..!?

Also the power numbers on our cars are a little strange.. Supposedly we have 320HP however the GTR with ONLY 160 hp more can go 0-60 in 3.8 seconds compared to our 5.5. However the most disturbing is 1/4th mile times. The GTR runs the 1/4th in just 12 seconds @ 118mph compared to our 14 seconds @ 102mph.

What im getting at is how can just 160hp drop 2 seconds off the quartermile time!?

Why do people call our cars grand touring due to the weight when the GTR is a "supercar" running a very similar platform that weights more.

So according to the data if we do a small turbo upgrade and get another 160 hp theoretically we will be just as fast as a newer GTR! From grand touring to Godzilla. Hard to believe..

The mods right..

Look at the price depreciation at the GTR... just like the 3s... So they are similar :)

Granted they 20 years apart...
But same weight
Similar price
They gonna hit rock bottom in few years time... heck even some r34 GTRs are hanging around a r35 GTRs price range.


Imagine if mitsu released a 2013 3000gt... It would match the new GTR and LOOK better doing it.
