    Question How in the hell...?

    ...does the new Skyline GT-R run the quarter mile at 11.7-149 mph w/AWD, 480 hp and weighing in at 3800 lbs The E.T. and mph do not add up, sorry I like how its on the cover of the car mag and it says "Vette Killer", again it shows who's king...ZO6 FTW! Now don't get me wrong, the car looks killer and is surely a blast to drive, but where are they getting these numbers from...GTech Pro

    well based on my calcu...er...guestimate, with the power and rate that roger said, it should be about 11.6 @ 121.9 MPH

    I'd think it would trap higher than that.

    Maybe so, but 149mph seems awfully high...

    Well, a C6 ZO6/Viper SRT-10 runs the quarter mile in the high 11's at about 125-127 and its got MORE hp, MORE torque and weighs LESS, alot less, like 500-600 lbs less. I'm not doggin' the Skyline at all, trust me the car is smokin' hot, but I think something is wrong with their testing computers Oh yeah and the price of that car at $80K, well, we'll see about that when it actually comes over here.

    If the car were real light, geared differently and had another 150 hp I could believe the numbers, but they don't make any logical sense
