Shortly after Nissan assured everyone that the GT-R’s speed limiter is uncrackable here comes the US-based COBB tuning to defy the automaker and to demonstrate that everything can be tracked. Even if it is a very sophisticated and difficult encryption on the ECU, the American tuning company has cracked the speed limiter and they are already working on some other modifications including the fuel-mapping and boost pressure controls.
The Nissan GT-R is limited to 180km/h except the situation when the car detects you at a race track. But after COBB cracked the speed limiter the company started undertaking in-house testing and confirmed that they are confident that everything will be well prepared by the time North American spec cars arrive and also well practiced in the art of tuning the GT- R’ s ECU. With the speed limiter removed the GT-R can achieve a claimed 193 mph.

The ZR1, I believe delivers 620+hp doing the 0to60 in 3.5 weighing less than 1.5 tonnes. The GT-R does the 0to60 in 3.5 with a weight of over 1.7 tonnes although a dozen sources have reported 3.3. If you know anything about cars I don’t have to tell you what a kilo’s difference means to a race car. But hey, Iam not complaining, with a smaller engine(473hp) and more weight, the GT-R still kicks A*s.
And in how many races can you actually reach the top speed?
Please don’t compare your pregnant (supercharged)V8s to a tecnological work of art like the GT-R. You’ll just embaress yourselves.
