Description: The first thing you might take from the title of this week's edition of Drag Race Tuesdays is the dramatic disparity in horsepower between these two competitors. Fear not, as the 1,500-horsepower...Add Comments23
Mark ReiderJul 04, 2012 I'm sure that our car will eventually look like planes, being that a subsonic F-4 Phantom 2 has drag coefficient of just .021. Just think a Bugatti or Koenigsegg with that amount of drag could easily brake 300mph
Mark ReiderJul 04, 2012 @Mikey, the new Camaro's drag coefficient is .37. The new Corvettes are around .33 to point .34, depending on year on model.
Mark ReiderJul 04, 2012 Apparently, the Tesla's Model S has the lowest drag coefficient of any production vehicle, at .24. I guess it needs to be to because of the batteries, wouldn't get to far otherwise.
Mikey JimenezJul 04, 2012 The new Camaro's are one of the most aero dynamic production cars as well.
Matt PiccoloJul 04, 2012 Wow, the supra's is .31 for non-turbo models and .32 for turbo models... I never knew how impressive that was O.o
Mark ReiderJul 03, 2012 I through the civic in there for a comparison. The GTR has awesome aerodynamics. It slips through the air unlike some that you think would do better, due to there shape, but it's the turbulent air behind the car that causes the most drag.
Mark ReiderJul 03, 2012 The GTR is one of the most aerodynamic production vehicles in the world. Here are some drag ratings on some cars. GTR .26 / Maserati Grandsport .34 / Gallardo .35 / Koenigsegg .35 / Diablo .37 / Pagani Zonda .40 and one we all know, Civc Type R .32
William DownsJul 03, 2012 the gtr is one of the mostbaero dynamic cars, majority of its development time was spent in the wind tunnel
Kyle SmithJul 03, 2012 won't win any drag races. But it will take you to 155 mph and quite a bit beyond while providing strong top end punch, above 6,000 rpm it pulls like a V6.
So optimally, a perfect engine would have a bit of both and would pull over a greater range.
Kyle SmithJul 03, 2012 Lukas I agree torque is vital but you went too far saying horsepower is meaningless. That's an awfully bold statement. Horsepower is still important for reaching top speed and high end power (especially in NA cars). The little Honda S2000 2.0 motor
Alex SmithJul 03, 2012 Oh hey I don't think I've ever seen a video of anything drag racing a GT-R. Oh wait....
Sam OglesbyJul 03, 2012 Hmm who'd have thought it a 1000 hp gtr with 1000hp
Phillip GreeneJul 03, 2012 Not even a 500 hp i4 has around 300 torque maybe, torque is the power hp is how fast it gets put down thats the most simple way to say it so these over built motors that are less than 5l wont have nearly as much low end as a larger motor no mater what the number is which is actualy a good thing for drag races cuz they dont have to roll off the line like a vett to keep up the traction
Lukas LebsJul 03, 2012 Im sick of the meaningless Horepower, INCLUDE TORQUE, because horsepower only gives you a clue of what power it might put out in tourques
Brady FeredayJul 03, 2012 I was way off for the drag of it but it is better than the lambo

Brady FeredayJul 03, 2012 I think it is Jason it's drag rating was at like .93 or more
Jason W. EversJul 03, 2012 No way that brick of a Nissan is more aerodynamic than a Lambo.
Phillip GreeneJul 03, 2012 I havent seen it yet but its not the number its where in the rev range that number is so even a 500ho gap is sermountable and theres no mention of the torque damnit carbuzz google the def. of torque and then start including it in your damn articles
Ben MinerJul 03, 2012 I used to work for boost logic!! Loved that job.
Peter WinterJul 03, 2012 @lee you beat me there. Who writes this stuff.
Matt PiccoloJul 03, 2012 @ Abraham, I'm pretty sure the gtr is more aerodynamic, it's bigger but that's y I looks how it looks, every bit of it for for the aerodynamics of the car
Lee GardnerJul 03, 2012 So it's a 1000hp gtr with 1000hp who would've guessed
Abraham MendozaJul 03, 2012 This is before I watch the video, and ill say that the Lamborghini would win due to the lighter weight, better aerodyamics, but then again...the dual clutch transmission in the GTR is absolutely quick.

Justin TuckerJul 03, 2012 Ya that UR Lamborghini as $109,000 worth of engine work, on top of the price of the car
Brady FeredayJul 03, 2012 Lol that just maybe the block price xD
Brady FeredayJul 03, 2012 I think a lambo engine runs close to $30k
William DownsJul 03, 2012 dought it underground racings twing turbo setup is very reliable been around for a while and they havent blown an engine yet
Paul PickardJul 03, 2012 Does anyone know what a gallardo engine costs? Just curious cause this thing is gonna have to let go eventually.

Alex MedvedevJul 05, 2012 Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! You have let me down import!
Randy HjelmJul 05, 2012 Haha put AWD in a 599 gto or that Lamborghini and watch the gtr cry :)
Michael GallagherJul 04, 2012 Sweet race. I love both cars, but I am in love with the GT-R. Nicely done both races. I kinda saw that comeback happening in the back of my kind
Ben NortonJul 04, 2012 Max how much does your Evo weigh? It sounds like a very impressive car
Juan MartinezJul 04, 2012 Good race but i thout taht the nissan was winning
Maciej MorylJul 04, 2012 Awesome. Ur racing always catches up
Jose RodriguezJul 04, 2012 I always see that blue wrx in the back
Dave StewartJul 04, 2012 Incredible two of
My fave cars awesome race thougt gtr had it cool the gallardo caught back up
Mark ReiderJul 04, 2012 That was crazy, that GTR was sick! Giving away 500hp and weighing almost a 1000lbs more than the Gallardo and she's ahead all the way to the last few seconds. The quarter mile, or on the track, the GTR would chew up and shit out that Gallardo.
Dustin MillerJul 03, 2012 Why launch hard against a car you know you can beat?
Yuan TianJul 03, 2012 the start of gtr was incredible!
Abel GalvezJul 03, 2012 Max: No one cars about your Evo.....
Adam GrayJul 03, 2012 Te lamborghini diablo was RWD up until I think 98 than they switched to AWD
Spiros ManessisJul 03, 2012 Why wasting the clutch when you can easily smoke the GTR ? Not worth ...
Amy TerryJul 03, 2012 Awesome race, not bad at all for the GTR considering the 500🐎horse handicap...can't wait for the rematch.
Samuel BonordenJul 03, 2012 Sorry I forgot about the Contash
Samuel BonordenJul 03, 2012 Only the Miura and the Balboni are rear wheel drive.
Sebastian SorokaJul 03, 2012 Man I'm really surprised at how many people don't know that the Gallardo is AWD. The Balboni is RWD and I'm not sure but think that the superleggera versions are RWD as well.
Zachary MaurerJul 03, 2012 I actually stopped the vid with like 15 seconds left cause I thought the gtr had it, then I read the comments...
Dillon MageeJul 03, 2012 Pretty much how I expected the race to go.
Josh AndrewsJul 03, 2012 At the begining im like i want to see the lambo win i see the start , i was like really then at the end omg good race
Das StigJul 03, 2012 randy, ferrai makes a car called the ff that is awd with 700 horsepower. most Lamborghinis are awd, the only one I can think.of that isn't is the balboni, I'm not sure about the sv. I know there are older ones like the countach. my point it's a they do make all wheel drive czars and they aren't destroying the gte. I've never seen an ff race a gtr though.
Timothy HookerJul 03, 2012 that gtr is sick. such a beautiful launch. lambo and Ferrari got alot of work to do if they wanna match that
Max BondsJul 03, 2012 gtr still sucked in the quarter... again I'd take it in my evo. trap 128 high tens.
Max BondsJul 03, 2012 Gallardo is awd. traction is the issue. I get half the 60 ft time in my evo with just under 500 hp.
Garrick RaineyJul 03, 2012 The GT-R will pretty much always have that good start. It's known that the Gallardo is hard to start or at least harder than GT-R. Even though the GT-R lost it still held its ground with 500hp less.
Randy HjelmJul 03, 2012 It's called top end power!!! The only reason that gtr beats half these cars is cause its AWD.... I bet if you made any Ferrari or Lamborghini AWD They would eat that gtr alive
Clayton CorleyJul 03, 2012 @Alan . How did the lambo "smoke" the nissAn. The Gtr led 99.9% of the time
Nick StiJul 03, 2012 I knew that'd happen! GTR cannot be beaten on a launch
Walker CarrollJul 03, 2012 The reason it starts bad is because of its transmission. The transmission along with that it's RWD makes it vey difficult to get off the line quickly.
Patrick SchalkJul 03, 2012 Holy moly. That comeback was noce
Anthony Villa-GarciaJul 03, 2012 I wouldn't call it a bad start. it could've been the turbos. lambo probably had large turbos that only kick in at higher rpms.
Wmg ChinchillaJul 03, 2012 I was there that day, the guy in the lambo was getting a bj when the light turned green
John Andrew MoralesJul 03, 2012 Aside from the GT-R probably having more torque, you wouldn't feel the dfference between 1000 hp and 1500 hp until you got up to speed anyway (as was proven) It's all gonna be about the launch with those kinda numbers and the GTR has a better launch
CaribbeanenthusiastJul 03, 2012 Bad reaction time but, Jesus, he made up for the mistake. pure adrenaline.
Frederick PerezJul 03, 2012 How about that twin turbo 1200hp Lambo against this 1500hp Lambo?
Alan Bradford CassellJul 03, 2012 Damn that lambo got a bad start and still smoked the nissan!
Oscar GalvanJul 03, 2012 I disagree there are several types of drags race but the 1/4 is very important
Pablo HerasmeJul 03, 2012 For being 500 hp down, the GTR did pretty good.
Domi BsaibesJul 03, 2012 Well you americans also have miles and miles of highways. I think that's what you only think sean :p
Sean WallaceJul 03, 2012 Well I'm in America so the only thing that matters is the 1/4 mile that is what drag racing is not a mile
Matt PiccoloJul 03, 2012 I was actually surprised the gtr held a lead for that long... But this really wasn't a fair comparison, 1500hp vs 1000, it's obvious who's gunna win....
Hovie Hov E-HouseJul 03, 2012 All of u are wrong ... Go youtube paxton mile with these gallardos ... Its impossible to put 1500 hp down n dangerous on a closed circuit soo these cars dont go into full boosts or even push it till 3rd or 4th
Aaron AbelyJul 03, 2012 Simple answer the lambo is probably geared for a mile rather than the 1/4. Whereas the GT-R is probably geared towards the 1/4
Thibault LeroyJul 03, 2012 wow 376kph at the end! wow go lambo
Borphan LimthongJul 03, 2012 Lamborghini caught changing radio station
Domi BsaibesJul 03, 2012 Isn't 1/4 mile in mid 11s a very bad timing for a 1500 hp??!! I say that gallardo had a very bad driver
Jordan JacksonJul 03, 2012 A Lambo without launch control?
Michael HendersonJul 03, 2012 .9sec reaction time for the Gallardo? Was the driver asleep? Did he forget why he was on a mile long drag strip? "oh the light's turned green...........now I know I was supposed to do something but what was it? That's it, im meant to set off"
Preston MingJul 03, 2012 launch control is the only reason the GTR was in front. Gallardo has AWD but doesn't have Launch control. now UGR needs to rollout their Aventador TT and I'm confident it would stroke the GTR from start to finish.
Abraham MendozaJul 03, 2012 I'm pretty sure the dual clutch transmission would probably efficient in the short run, probably better grip from those tires.
Serg KarchevskyyJul 03, 2012 Look at RT lamborghini .5 sec slower but extra 500hp play big roll in top speed
Bobby BobJul 03, 2012 Lamborghinis are AWD as well.
Trent BourgeoisJul 03, 2012 Maybe it's because gtr is a nanny car with awd and Lamborghini is a normal car with rwd?
Parker SatterleeJul 03, 2012 GTR would win on Any circuit race. And in a quarter mile. And in a half mile race. It's better
Ben AugustJul 03, 2012 1,500 hp v 1,000 hp, not surprised 1500 won. But seriously, it really looked like it wouldn't.
So what gives? Bad launch? Too much power at launch? GTR more efficient in use? Hmm
Alan TanJul 03, 2012 i like to see the GTR looses.. hahaha but yeah.. GTR pawned it in the beginning.. i guess GTR looses out in terms of top speed.
Michael DouglasJul 03, 2012 That's where the extra 500hp comes into play includin aerodynamics. Looks like the gtr is packing more torque than the gallardo which good for on the track. I think the gtr would spank the gallardo on any track race
Bruce-Almighty TumblinJul 03, 2012 What the hell just took place? The GT-R was busting the Lambo ass in the quarter mile & somehow the Lambo came back in a mile?
Phi LongJul 03, 2012 GT-R let off the gas at the end...you don't want to beat 'em too bad...
Cory DeinesJul 03, 2012 Lambo won at the mile marker, but the GT-R destroyed it in the quarter mile with 500 less horsepower. I'm still not sure how that's possible.
Dale FredriksJul 07, 2012 I think that if the Lamborghini had 1100 hp, not 1500, both cars would be almost identical.
cardude2000Jul 03, 2012 I got a feeling the Nissan gt-r may start good but the lambos acceleration to 100 or so is better than the Nissan!
GOOD LUCK TO THE LAMBO!
Adam GrayJul 03, 2012 I'd say the gtr and the lambo have the same amount of flashiness to them.
Logan DelonyJul 03, 2012 I think he means more of an exotic
I'm sure that our car will eventually look like planes, being that a subsonic F-4 Phantom 2 has drag coefficient of just .021. Just think a Bugatti or Koenigsegg with that amount of drag could easily brake 300mph
