No, I don't think the GTR is geared for top-end. Maybe Vic55 can chime in and let us know how it pulls in triple digits. Im fairly confident any stock 55K/65 would pull the GTR in triple digits.

Very nice videos...I think the 65 let off but the GTR kept on because he must of seen the BS on the rear view coming in like a bullet. My assumptions...

When will those guys ever learn. Just not what the torque Godzilla is meant for man!!!!
You line up on a dig with the GTR and you'll see a nice little race.
Unless they were just dialing it in at Famoso, some type of GTR_R was there and I lined up with it. It pulled on me but wasn't as dramatic as I thought it would be.
Came home to find massive problems with my car from tranny TCU on down. (blah blah excuses excuses)
Sure wish I coulda got a rematch with her now. Someday.

interesting... we all know that GT-R is fast out of the box and the AMGs should out run top speed but... im not totally convinced about that video.. something doesn't seem all out !!

With these V12s performance varies greatly. It's not so simple as just stepping on the pedal; I know my car gives me attitude sometimes and doesn't pull as hard as other times, depends on what speed I'm launching from and what gear the car decides to engage in. Also, we don't know if the 65 in this video ran another car before the GTR (which would affect his Temp), or even if he got a good launch. From the looks of the video, not really. /rant
