It is said to be 2 seconds a lap faster than a normal Series II GT-R at Sendai Raceway. And all that for only about two and a half times the price of a standard GT-R. I had heard rumors of the "push to pass" button like the Porsche overboost function. It is still unknown if this car will make it to the US market, or any other market. The price and maintenance requirements put it out of reach of the capabilities of most.

It would be nice to have 550 hp or something like that.
But with this setup forget it.Double the price and just some aftermarket-parts includet and just minor improvement in performance.
I would buy stock and upgrade the car with the rest of the money.I think,that option works better.
I know this is a Nissan-webpage but i have to say it:Chevrolet did a better job with the ZR1.With this setup,the v-spec could have no chance.I hope we will get some times to compare.
