Lately, there is a report by Edmunds’ Auto Observer from United States of America correctly points out that the rest of the sports car market isn’t faring nearly so well even for the Japanese Line-up. It shows that sports cars like the once hot Nissan GT-R, with only 106 sales in April, are now struggling for sales. Porsche 911 sales are down 18 percent from a poor 2009, only 428 Mazda RX-8s have been sold in 2010 and Nissan failed to sell 1,000 copies of the fun to drive 370Z.

Therefore, let’s share your thoughts and take the poll below.

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!

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.
