My neighbor who was extremely envy of my Quadrifoglio bought a Nissan GTR this past Saturday. So of course i snuck in a few pics at his house. 2 beautiful and fast cars! I got to drive the GTR also. It's very fast. I would still rather have the Alfa. The Alfa has a personality as the GTR did not. Just felt like a fast car.

Probably a good idea just to give a thumbs up as it'd mostly likely cream on stock (think the 2017 is 2.9 secs stock)
Don't overuse, lest it become a predictable post. :nerd:"Dear Predictable..."

Dayum that was some real jealousy to push you far enough to buy a GTR
That's pretty badass though, I've also had a love hate relationship with the GTR and still on the fence with it. I feel like they're just cheating anytime they show up to a straight drag race hahaha!

GT-R no joke...
I used to chuckle when I saw GT-R's....I found them to be ungainly, way too big for a sports car....and the designer only used a straight ruler when he made it...no curves..nuthin....and the inside looked like a video game....
then as luck would have it my very last day on a race track and instructing was in Aug. 2010 at MMC...for the BMWCCA...my "novice" driver was a Dr. from upstate NY and he rolls in with one of these....
well all my preconceptions were shot to ****....this car was every bit a sports car...light on its feet, nimble steering, very direct and input/feedback was exceptional...and the power!!!...on the back straight at MMC...165 and still pulling hard until I had to brake hard for the up-hill right into the esses...
car was always poised...and the brakes....CHRIST.....only way to stop faster would have been to hit a brick wall!!...
No amico mio...I love our Quads...but if you meet Godzilla...give a wide berth....>

the GT-R is..faster....by ALOT 7:19.10 and that is a 2015 Stocker...
the NISMO is even faster 7:08.68...
The Quad ranks 38 out of the top 100 Ring Times...not shabby at all....

Hey thanks! I guess the GTR is technically a 2 door coupe right? This may tell us if the Giulia is even capable of a coupe option. If it's really hard cast as a 4 door, especially with the carbon roof on the Quad, that might make sense. It may take too much re-engineering to take the center pillar out or move it.
