1:08's shockingly fast ;), a 7:08 might be beatable:)
Well considering the gen 4 ACR went 7:12 in only ONE 30 minute session there due to poor weather killing the entire weekends runs, I would say its doable.
The GTR an impressive car. Sadly it drives like a maxima.
you must have one badass Maxima!

If I were to take a guess, I would say around 200K or close to it anyway. Probably in the same price range an ACR would be if and when it's made. Considering all the tech involved in the Nissan against the more refined ACR, I would say the ACR should be priced slightly lower. So as much as we all might want to see the ACR come in around 160K or less, I think its only fair it be priced against the competition. I'm sure the new ZR1 will be priced over 150K as well. esp if they come out with the rumoured TT set up.Quote:

I consider this GT-R real competition, which is healthy for us. It'll push SRT to make the ACR it's very best if funds are made available.
Because it's under $200k, it's a real car that you may see at the track. I don't take the Porsche 918 seriously. Anything that costs $929K isn't going to see track duty, it's going to be in some rich collector's garage. Boring.
Now the GT-R is fugly as hell and I would never own a nanny-driven car, but I do have respect for it and look forward to driving against them when I see them on the track. Congrats to Nissan, we now have a target to aim for.
One thing I've noticed is that the owners of the vast majority of exotics that I drive with at the track are afraid to push their cars. I have yet to drive with a Ferrari , Lambo or McClaren that can keep up, with the exception of the Ferrari 458 Challenge car which the mighty Viper was just a tick faster than. But people drive GT-Rs hard, and I like that. Just like Corvette owners, they aren't afraid to push their cars to the limit. They are used the way they are intended, and I'll give them credit for that. Fugly, nanny-driven, but driven hard and I like that, LOL.
That's why I would like to see the ACR stay at a reasonable price. Price it too high, people will be afraid to push it at the track. Then it becomes a show piece, not a driver's car. Absolutely needs to stay well below $200K fully optioned, really hoping you could get a track-worthy ACR with CCBs for under $150K.
Yes totally agree with this..Quote:

The wheels look like SSR's.
My friend has one,and drives the $hit out of it on the track. For me it's the front end on the GTR. I try to force myself to like it, but I just can't..Quote:
