How come GTR is faster when GT2 has more fastest laps than it(10:7) ?

FastestLaps 1 year ago
It's all about time, not number of wins. Points are given for seconds/miliseconds won against the opponent car. GTR covers all 17 tracks in less time than the GT2 and that's why it wins.

Draganov 1 year ago
I see.Thanks for the explanation:)

gt-r is slower on some of the tracks, it is also slower to 160,200,much slower to 300, it only does 0-100 faster. so you call that 'NOTICEABLY FASTER'. this cars have very much the same performance :)

In USA and Japan GT-R wins...
In Europe GT2 have a little bit of advantage

Since NOBODY that buys either car will ever be on a track the 911 makes more sense to own.

And why would no one track these cars?

venom 9 months ago
you know 70% of gt3s are on a track right?

Anonymous 9 months ago
you know that 70% is just a conservative estimate right?

actually their performance isnt that similar the gt2 is built for going round the track fast and takes skill to drive and if you'v seen road & track and motortrends tests for these cars you'll notice how the gt2 push much more down force of lateral g on the skid pad and further more the gt-r is only nissans base supercar and it has an awd systm that makes it easy to drive because its so controlled by a computer systm with awd.

Who You Kiddin?

the turbos from the gtr just turn off at the speed of 140 mhp or 240 kph. the car reaches 185 mhp or 300 kph in total effort from the V6. so the turbos are for the acceleration of the car, to take the 1700 kilograms to higher speeds it would need a powerfull engine and a new power turbocharging all the engine to higher speeds like 200 mhp or 330 kph. the gtr again loses in most high speed tracks and the most important supercars actually beat the 400 kph like the bugatti veyron. and speed is straight ahead not for a short distance. even god knows that.

porsche is a autobahn car. for like straight highspeed. where is highspeed in gtr? takes at least 40 seconds to take the 185 mph or 300 kph. that is 10 seconds more that the 911 gt2. can you all imagine a someone needs more power to accelerate to highspeeds and where is it? in low gears, that is like a sport car like wrc car. that have that power only for short acceleration times.

Anonymous 6 months ago
why dont some company build a car with 800bhp per tone and just have low gear ratios to make it 0 to 300kph in like 25 seconds?
that would be the ultimate supercar

PhantomPorsche 6 months ago
I believe it was even more than 70 percent but I am not sure.

porsche is more like an autobahn car? who yu kiddin? and its true, the GT2 does get to a tested 186mph in 33.6s compared to the GT-R's tested 47.5-53.3. the 997 has better tyres, more power more torque and is lighter, so why wouldnt it get there faster. and the GT-R has ben proven to get to 195mph, not 186mph with full effort from its v6 as you say clatrum. and a car with 800bhp will surely no doubt get to 186 way faster than 25s. there is a video on youtube from a couple years ago, (not sure if its still there) of a stock TVR Cerbera Speed 12(1 of 5 getting to 200mph in 13.9s, and you really outta stop disrespecting the GTR, it will outperrmor damn ner all cars wether it in a straightline or round a track.

Porsche really needs to stop playing games, add awd and the GT3 suspension and the GT2 might be worth the expense over the GT-R.

Anonymous 6 months ago
I've read the GT2 needs the GT3 suspension and AWD to be balanced, and even then it's not worth the money.

Bobby 6 months ago
Why would it need AWD? The GT2 was designed to be a hardcore, life threatening, exquisit machine. In my opinion, it is the exact opposite of the Nissan GT-R.
If you believe that this car is not balanced, stay away from it!

Anonymous 6 months ago
The reason the GT2 needs AWD is because it lifts the front tires off the ground when exiting a corner. Understeer and oversteer at same time is not hardcore, nor exquisite.

bingo!

ps: somebody should edit those damp notes in the lap times to (semi wet) so the (Exclude "wet laps") can work

It worked on "damp" "moist" etc. but at the moment I have temporarily disabled "Exclude wet laps" due to technical changes I am doing to the website right now.

Would you like to see theoretical (calculated) 1/4 mile and acceleration times in car-pages (in "Calculations" section) for some of those cars that don't have real, tested figures?
