Boo.
+1 No way it cranks off a 2 flatI doubt 2 seconds.. 2.4-2.6 is more plausible.
IKR, because even an AMS Alpha 12 can not hit 2.0. As long as it beats the Veyron super sport's speed of 2.46 seconds, Its good.+1 No way it cranks off a 2 flat
With the right diff it can easily break 2 seconds but then it wouldn't drive properly in higher gears.IKR, because even an AMS Alpha 12 can not hit 2.0. As long as it beats the Veyron super sport's speed of 2.46 seconds, Its good.
its not so much about the diff as it is the gearbox. for it to hit sub 2 seconds, or around 2 seconds, it would need first and second gear to be really short, which would then make the subsequent gears proportionally much longer, and it wouldn't have nearly as good intermediate acceleration. Not to mention the amount of torque would be very high for those small gears to handle reliably. The reason motorcycles get away with having such low acceleration times is that they weigh so little, and the amount of torque going through their internals is much smaller, yet same materials are used.With the right diff it can easily break 2 seconds but then it wouldn't drive properly in higher gears.
I agree however I'd like to know to what trucks you're referring to?I hate when people speculate. There are full-size street trucks that are in the low-2's, 0-60 nowadays. "It can't be done." is often done after a certain period in time. Nissan has over-engineered and down-played the GT-R from the beginning--I don't see them making false claims on capability. I'm still impressed with the earlier model GT-R, and God knows before driving it, I heard enough of, "A Nissan can't compete with X/Y/Z, price-wise or performance-wise. Can't be done."
I only "speculate" bc of personal experience. My GT-R has over 900awhp and its best 0-60 is 2.4 and that was at the drag strip running (4) DR's.I hate when people speculate.

That makes two of us !I'd like to know to what trucks you're referring to?
Listen HandJob, I never said anything about children or posers. I simply stated, MY opinion, about MY own experience, versus what I think the new stock GT-R on street tires can do.You're not the only one speaking from personal experience. Not everyone on a forum is a child, who has poses beside these cars and becomes an expert.
Here's one of at least ten, that are on stock-bottom end's:

I've seen one too many heavy, non-engineered, domestic trucks cut unrealistic 60 ft. times to discard Nissan's claim of 2.0 s. Simple as that.
Care to provide some actual proof and data on that (I'm assuming VBOX)?My GT-R has over 900awhp and its best 0-60 is 2.4 and that was at the drag strip running (4) DR's.
lol, classy.Listen HandJob,
wait are you talking about 0-60ft covered?? you do know that the thread is about 0-60mph?? and that Turbo Silverado did not do 0-60mph in 2 seconds.You're not the only one speaking from personal experience. Not everyone on a forum is a child, who has poses beside these cars and becomes an expert.

Correct, this was verified by my vbox. Unfortunately, my SD card with that info is in Florida but I do have the time slip from that pass. My 60ft is the current record for a full weight, stock suspension, GT-R on Drag radials. It was the overall record for all of 48hrs before AMS ripped off a 1.38 with their Alpha Omega two days later at the same track. Now, a few guys are running 17" slicks so, 60' times will definitely be getting quicker.Care to provide some actual proof and data on that (I'm assuming VBOX)?
Nice find but that vid was from a couple years ago after I added my first bolt-on's (560awhp). Since then, I had AMS build me an Alpha9 (914awhp).And for Srock: I know you were asking for VBOX data about the 0-60 speed, but Here's some video of Chevelle's GTR at the Dragstrip: http://www.luxury4play.com/asian-auto/88937-gt-r-dragstrip.html
No, I'm not talking about "0-60ft covered??"wait are you talking about 0-60ft covered?? you do know that the thread is about 0-60mph?? and that Turbo Silverado did not do 0-60mph in 2 seconds.
