How fast is a GTR? How fast is a Veyron?

[Heylin]

See the comments in the video

Nuremburg ring

GTR - 7:28
Veyron 7:40

The only thing the Veyron has going for it is

a) top speed
b) faster accleration
c) looks and styling
d) outstanding engineering

GTR

a) cheaper to buy
b) cheaper to service
c) better on a track
d) better in the real world
e) cheaper insurance
f) upgrade potential


In saying that I wouldnt mind both in the garage.

That flood of torque from the Veyron would feel amazing....

[FLAWLES]

Power restricted. The ecu is locked at the power level until it reachs a race track. Then gets more opened via the internal gps system.
Its only been recently that they have cracked the new gtr ecu to be able to get the power out of the engine. Nissan and the japanesse government had some form of a agreement on not making it a monster like the other series have become.

wish i still had the article from the 09 toyko auto saloon
but this sums it up
http://www.powerenterpriseusa.net/Powernews/index.html

lets just say it has a massive kiwi input for this ecu on the gtr
and i will leave it at that

would rather have a gtr than a veyron call me mad but if something breaks on a veyron ( im thinking drive line here )............i would hate to think what the price tag would be to fix it

but i can afford nether

[Mad Murphy]

The Veyron is stunning, sure a GT-R is faster round the 'ring and more practical but who cares? The Veyron is in a whole different world of car. Plus a Veyron is a sure fire investment, you'd never lose money on one if you'd bought it new whereas a GT-R is going to devalue and in 20 years time you'll see matt black ones with cut springs driven by kids with co-signed loans cruising town on a friday night.

Still, I'd be happy to take either—hell I'd be happy with a ride in either!

you are joking right ?

[Mad Murphy]

If you can afford a Veyron you're not the sort of Arab… I mean person who reads price tags!

[FLAWLES]

why would i be joking

do you know how much of a headace/strain it is to have a engine putting out 1001hp and can be daliy driven, the thought of that alone is mind bogling
and they will go pop

do you know how rich you have to be to afford one ?

if you can afford a 1-2 mil car things like sending it back to get the drive train replaced (or serviced before that sort of thing happens)dont faze? you

Exactly, these aren't the sort of people who buy their oil and filters when Supercheap is having a sale.

[Adamal]

Imagine that.. Walk into Supercheap or Repco..

"Yea, g'day.... After about 20 litres of Magnatec, and an oil filter"

"Not a problem, what vehicle was the oil filter for?"

"Yea, a Veyron"

"..... A WHAT?!"

"A Veyron. Its a Bugatti"

"......"

"Its a 2007 model?"

[Timmo]

...and then likely followed by:

"Computer says use this one off a Corolla"

[GTCRSHR]

"A Veyron. Its a Bugatti"

"......"

"Its a 2007 model?"

or the more likely responce would be,

*jerk standing behind the counter* talking to freind about the rubgy or how he was doing something this weekend,

*customer stands there*

* wanker behind the counter still talking and joking*

*cutsomer that pays the wankers wages still standing there*

* tosser glances over and says *mumble mumble *

* customer chucks item on counter*

*daggers stares at each other*

*21 dollars*

*customer hands money over*

* no please /thanks you's*

*customer walks out with poxy chinese oil filter that is the wrong one

*repeat from step one*

Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

[Adamal]

Where the hell does that expression come from? Monkeys like bananas. Elephants like peanuts.

[Mad Murphy]

Who knows? I'm sure monkeys like peanuts too though. Plus if you say pay bananas it doesn't sound as bad because bananas are a lot bigger than peanuts.

[Adamal]

And the idea of hiring elephants is absurd.



Their unions are cut throat!

[fivebob]

I think you might be confusing your species here. Apes like bananas. Monkeys, as in those employed by organ grinders, were usually fed on peanuts.

in 20 years time you'll see matt black ones with cut springs driven by kids with co-signed loans cruising town on a friday night.

yeah i get really upset by all the mattyB/cutties R32 GTRs rolling round.

Same, there's fewer and fewer nice ones out there these days.

[Urban-Cruiser]

Veyron: 395k per tonne
GT-R: 200k per tonne

At top speed the Veyron would run out of gas in 12secs and tyres in 15secs.
It takes 50sec to get to 400k. And does 400m drag in 10.2secs. That doesnt seem great. lol.

I think they should have made the GT-R look like 350/370z. I think its ugly. IMO
