I've got a friend who believes the Nissan GT-R is the ultimate. Well, I wanna know from you guys which car will win. And please give proper reasons. (Which will be the SLR McLaren. Trust me)
The GT-R will win because the turbo>>>>>the zoopercharger. That's common knowledge, everyone noes dat.
straight line -- Brabus SLR track -- GTR but you shouldn't compare these two cars. There is a huge ($400K+) price difference between these 2 cars. It's like comparing a Mustang with a Ford GT.
different price bracket, different target consumer, different philosophies behind each respective vehicle. try comparing a Lancer Evo with a Lamborghini Murcielago--or a highly modded Honda Civic vs. a Ferrari F430. What's the point? If two random people, one driving an SLR and the other driving the GTR, meet at a stoplight, I'm pretty sure the SLR would have a slight advantage. If they go out on a track day, the GTR will probably own simply due to its track-oriented calibration, nimbler chassis, better balance, less understeer, dual-clutch manual transmission etc.

First off, why even compare the two? But I think the ultimate car out of the two would be this GTR simply because of the cost-effectiveness. That SLR costs over 10 times as much as this GTR does yet the GTR has a better 0-60 time and weighs less. Thats pretty sad when this little ol' TT'd 3.8L V6 with only 473hp/434trq is out-performing a boosted 5.4L V8 with 626hp/575trq in its weight class. To me, the only thing worth anything near 800k would be the Veyron, now thats ultimate.
@Dante: The GT-R's ring time is 7:29 and the SLR's 7:40 the Brabus would have had more torque which means more wheel spin which means loss of time around the twisties which means the GT-R is faster than the Brabus SLR. Though it may defeat it in 1/2 or 1/4 mile runs.
Let me be as clear as possible. "...simply because of the cost-effectiveness", dude we know that. Strictly perforance talk here. And why bring up the Veyron? It cearly states Brabus SLR McLaren Vs. Nissan GT-R. Stick to the topic...
