What's it take to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just under three seconds flat? According to Nissan (http://autoblog.com/make/nissan), it takes exactly 530 horsepower and 488 pound-feet of torque, coupled to a sophisticated electronic all-wheel-drive system and a dual-clutch transmission.
Put more simply in actual dollars and cents, that will cost you $89,950. For those unaware, that's the sum Nissan is asking for its updated 2012 GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/model/gtr), which recently made its live American debut (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/17/2012-nissan-gt-r-la-2010/) at the 2010 LA Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/la-auto-show/). The Japanese automaker has kindly provided a digital readout from an electronic measurement device from Digitek to silence the doubters (above). As you can clearly squint and see, the GT-R hit 60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds and 100 kilometers per hour (62 mph) in exactly three seconds.
Your move, Corvette ZR1 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/zr1).
