AMG Black Series

Nope. The GTR is designed for that....it will win. "And crossing the finish line with its driver yawning; the GTR."

 

[ViperSmith]

They'll drive the Viper in reverse and complain about the gearing.

 

[Nine Ball]

Here is my guess:

Nissan GT-R
AMG SLS
Viper (due to lack of driver skill)

Run the GT-R without launch control, and watch it "perform" lol

 

[ACRucrazy]

Here is what MT already has for these cars, I am curious if they will use the same times for this video or use new times.

GTR 11.0 @ 125.1
SLS 11.1 @ 129.8
R8+ 11.3 @ 125.8
SRT 11.5 @ 128.7
Bentley [email protected]
Aston 12.3 @116.2


C&D
M6 12.2 @124

The driver of the Nissan GT-R can eat a Hamburger and drink a soda while drag racing and still win.....

 

[FLL-B/W-GTS]

The GTR will eat them up.The Gen 5 should be second, if they don,t bog it...

 

[ACRucrazy]

If the soda drinking, burger eating GT-R driver runs into the SLS or SRT on the street and they run any further than 1320 feet from a dead stop he will be looking at tail lights. Not every race is over after 1320 feet.

 

[viper GTS-R]

I'm not a Porsche guy by any means, I hate the things, but anyone else surprised that MT isn't using a Turbo S? Are they not available yet?

Yes, you are correct. I suggest that the GT-R driver stick to a grilled chicken sandwich. Dripping grease coming off hamburger meat may get on the steering wheel, which may cause hand slippage and in turn cause an accident....

Next time I will be more careful when I post.

 

[FLL-B/W-GTS]

I put the whoopen on GTRs all the time with my 911 Turbo S,but for price, the GTRs are so Bad Ass...

 

[SnakeBitten]

In the 1/4 mile game its hard to pick anything over the GTR with its AWD and DCT not even the Audi. Killer 60' times that will give it the ET victory even against cars with better top end acceleration like the SLS and Viper. Ill say the GTR will win the drag with the SLS coming in second. I doubt they will get the SRT to low 11's to have a chance at the title.

Shhhhhh......Vin Diesel could be reading that as well as every 16 year old posting about doom on this web site!!!

In all seriousness your right. Would love to at least see 1/2 mile.

What happened that the last thread got closed and hidden from view???

Well at least we beat the station wagon

 

[Camfab]

Pretty crazy how the Mercedes wagon was right there! and that Black series is certainly a monster. Lack of traction is certainly the Vipers problem, either way the GTR is going to rule the streets every time. Even with drag radials, you never know.

 

[viper04]

Thanks for posting, it's hard to beat the "Nissan GT-R" and the 4 wheel drive.

 

[phavyarden]

I don't to punish me anymore watching this stuff

 

[PDCjonny]

And we are to assume all these drivers are familiar with the car they are in and know how to launch it at a drag strip?
Seems like way too many variables to be legit.

 

[madninjaskillz]

What ViperJon said.

 

[kratedisease]

At least the engine did not blow up on the Viper and it ended 4th.... not bad at all !!

 

[ACRucrazy]

The times posted in "the greatest drag race" are the same times MT used when they compared the vehicles in other articles, some months ago. This race was decided earlier this spring.

[Solid Red 98]

Pretty fair race I'd say. All the times are within the usual numbers we've been seeing with these cars. I love how unique the viper always sounds.

Edit: Just saw previous post. Interesting.

Very sexist... They had the cute blonde driving the station wagon.

With her 3 kids, 12 bags of groceries, and a St. Bernard in the back as well.

 

[TrackAire]

I'd love to see what these cars would do in the half mile. One thing is for sure, the SLS motor is under rated when you look at the mph at the end of the 1/4 mile. That is a very strong motor.

The Vipers speed was pretty good through the traps, putting down decent hp.
