Default 1967 Culture Shock Camaro VS. 2008 Nissan GT-R

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_uXM2WzTSA&fmt=22

Friendly competition. I was on pump gas (pump gas = 18psi of Boost & race gas = 37psi of Boost). CS Camaro is no slouch even on pump gas. Note that I was granny shifting and shifting very early (you can tell in the video). When in gear the CS Camaro pulls very strongly. The GT-R is seamless in the way it drives, the tranny shifts so fast. Every gear I shifted the GT-R caught back up until I got back in gear to pull on it.

We accelerated from 60 to 130 had to slow down due to traffic in Mexico. Oh and its in Kilometer Per Hour if you are a cop and need to know. If I was on race gas the GT-R would be done for. So even on everyday pump gas the CS Camaro can keep up with the toughest street competition.

I have great respect for the GT-R after seeing how it performs. I can tell you that car is very underrated in HP. I believe it makes 520-550HP, not the 480HP that it is advertised with. The GT-R is more than likely faster than my Lamborghini Gallardo (even though the Gallardo is rated to have 20HP more and about 300-400lbs lighter, because the GT-R HP is way underrated of course). Of course the CS Camaro is way faster than my Lamborghini.

Unfortunately I don't have a video of this, but on a previous cruise out in Mexico the CS Camaro came up on several Japanese Sport Bikes and took them by surpise. They were quite stunned that a old school Camaro pulled so hard on them. Of course in this incident the CS Camaro was running on medium (not even high) boost setting, not low boost when racing the GT-R.

Hope you enjoy the video, we had a long drive back to the U.S. after this.
