Are you serious? The R34 is nowhere NEAR any of those cars for production times. Like not even close to being near them.

 

dude, the r34 held the production lad records for the entire time it was in production, and then a couple years

 

Even though I'm not a big Skyline fan, he is right. It actually held the record by several seconds for a production car.

 

Since when? The Carrera GT, 997 Porsche GT3, Ford GT, and 06 z06 are the current top 4 in production cars, all with times of 7:40 or BELOW. The R34 never came anywhere close to that.

 

I beleive the Porsche 996 turbo was the first production car to get a better time than the R34.

 

What was the time? I know the C5 Z06 and the NSX R both had 7:56 lap times in 2001 when the c5z06 came out.

 

Here's a list:

I'm not sure when the GT-R time was recorded, but I'm sure it was pre 2000.

My car beat it.

 

So basically, the skyline r34 never held the fastest production car lap time. The M coupe ran faster in 1998, the F355 ran faster in 1997, The Porsche 993 Turbo was faster, and they produced them before they produced the skyline.

 

Alright, I googled the R-34 and the first year of production is 1998.

The time it got at the ring was a 7:52, but that time is not in the list I found, so I dont know what the hell is going on.

I've heard that too, but from what I heard it was a Blitz tuned skyline and noone has any proof that it was stock, and speculation that is was far from stock. Thats why I discredited that in favor of the other two times which were done by the same tester as all of the rest of them.
