Stillen GT-R Targa Race Car with 620 horsepower, 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds

Posted by : edvin | Posted on : 8/31/2009 at 1:50 AM

For the Nissan GT-R fans, Stillen spent more than six months working on their Nissan GT-R race car and now it finished and already on its way to Eastern Canada.

This modded GT-R produces 620 horsepower at 15psi from its dual turbochargers. Furthermore, several hundred pounds have been removed by stripping the interior, lots of carbon fiber body components and lightweight racing seats. The extra power and weight savings results in a 0-60 mph time of just 2.9 seconds and a 1/4 mile pass in a mere 11.0 seconds at 127.9 mph.

Imagine, 0-100 km/h in less than 3 seconds!

Clarkson took the new BMW Z4 against the Nissan 370Z in Top Gear

Posted by : edvin | Posted on : 8/1/2009 at 11:34 AM

If you are regular in our blog, we had covered you on the BMW Z4 launch in Kuala Lumpur. Well to be frank, we do not have the chance to test drive wildly and review the car like Jeremy Clarkson. So, we can't give any solid comment and comparisons between the Z4 and its range except for some brief comments.

In the latest episode of Top Gear UK, Z4 is reviewed to be softer, heavier and more stylish than its predecessor, while the 370Z is harder, lighter and more fancy exterior than 350Z. The 370Z is a coupe and the Z4 has a stow-able aluminum roof. The BMW is a genuine luxury car offering, while the 370Z is more like a Japanese's Porsche.

However, the two vehicles having similar overall dimensions and performance. Top Gear took this two coupes against each another on the test track. Well, its obviously the Japanese's Porsche have the better lap time compare to the Z4 which is more focused on luxury and styling.

Check out the video by Jeremy Clarkson that comparing the new BMW Z4 against the Nissan 370Z from this week Top Gear UK.

Nissan GT-R is easy for a Bugatti Veyron

Posted by : edvin | Posted on : 7/23/2009 at 2:06 PM


The Nissan GT-R is a super car by most standards, features and track records. Nissan claims the GT-R can reach a top speed of 310 km/h with it's 472hp monster 3.8 litre V6 Twin Turbo. It has been tested to achieve 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and 11.6 seconds for a quarter mile. GT-R it's frighteningly fast which allow you to pull up next to just about any other car at a traffic light.

However, this provided that you never happen to meet a Bugatti Veyron. The Bugatti having doubles the number of turbochargers and horsepower of a GT-R. While a heads-up drag race between the GT-R and Veyron is an unlikely occurrence in the real world, Evo Magazine took it upon themselves to pair the two cars on an open airfield. Watch out the video and check how much faster is the Bugatti than the Nissan.

Cobra N+ spices up the Nissan 370Z Coupe

Posted by : edvin | Posted on : 7/15/2009 at 11:00 AM

Cobra Nissan 370Z

Cobra N+ from Germany has released a new sport package for the Nissan 370Z (or Fairlady Z in Japan).

The carbon fiber aero kit comes a front spoiler, exterior mirror covers and a rear diffuser insert with openings for the two 120-mm tailpipes of the Cobra N+ sport exhaust system. Interior upgrades are limited to carbon-fiber-look scuff plates.

To improve handling, the Cobra N+ developed a custom-tailored tire-wheel combination with lightweight 19-inch rims wrapped in 255/40 ZR 19 high-performance tires up front and 285/35 ZR 19 tires at the back. The kit also includes new sport springs that lower the 370Z's ride height by around 30mm and a sport suspension with adjustable damper rates.

Moreover, Cobra N+ offers a sport muffler with an electronically controlled flap which is said to allow the driver to select an exhaust note ranging from "discrete to pure racing sound" at the push of the button to make it sounds better to suits the driver's mood. However, the package doesn't include any sort of modification or upgrades to the engine performance.
