I think I'm willing to sell my soul for one.

I dunno, it's definately fast, and definately sexy, but paddle shifters? you could buy an MKIV supra TT and drop the 35K price difference into it and have a lot better than an 11 second 1/4 mile.

I would love to see this 70k supra do a ring time of 7:38

Agreed! You guys are comparing a staight line monster (Z06/ZR1/ whatever and Supra(drag purpose built)) with a car that actually can take turns as fast as anything. Its 18 seconds faster then the Ferrari F430 (which is a handling delight)and 21 seconds faster then the Dodge Viper SRT10 (the car which the Z06/ZR1 competes with) around the Ring.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention:

That was on a semi wet track. Just imagine what it would do on a dry summer day

False.


Sport Auto lap time comparisons:
Ferrari F430 F1: 7:55 seconds
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano: 7:47 seconds
Porsche 997 911 Turbo : 7:54 seconds
Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06: 7:49 seconds
Ford GT:7:52 seconds
Nissan GTR: 7:50 seconds

From www.rennteam.com
Sportauto with the famous driver Horst has driven the new Skyline on N-ring.
*7:50 --- 157.787 km/h -- Nissan GT-R, 480 PS/1750 kg, Horst von Saurma, partially wet track (sport auto 12/07)*

The original 7:38 listed was not in production form. Nissan CEO stated that himself. It was close to production form but not finalized. (Trying to find the damn link that had his comments in it. )

We will see what it lays down in production form when Top Gear gets their hands on it.

In the mean time. If I want to drive something with a 1,000 computers in it, I'll just turn on my PS3.
