Nissan GT-R dynoed on (Mustang MD-AWD-500 SE)

...the 2009 Nissan GT-R is putting out 406 hp at 6,400 rpm and 414 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 rpm. Once you factor in the parasitic losses of the all-wheel-drive system, these numbers are wholly in line with Nissan's claim for the engine's power at the crankshaft.
...the two good runs on the Dynapack verify our testing with the Mustang dyno. According to the Dynapack, the output of the Nissan GT-R's V6 peaks at 452 hp at 6,350 rpm and 448 lb-ft of torque at 3,865 rpm. These higher numbers are due partially to the elimination of the tires, and the rest comes from internal variations in the way power is calculated by the Dynapack. The result vividly demonstrates why comparing results from different cars on different dynos leads to diabolical confusion.
I was very impressed with this statement from Edmunds:
"This makes the GT-R R35 the quickest accelerating production vehicle we have ever tested. Quicker than any Ferrari. Quicker than any Corvette. Quicker than any Viper. And quicker than the Porsche 911 Turbo that was the yardstick against which Nissan measured all aspects of the GT-R's performance during its development."<ul><li><a href="http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=125172?tid=edmunds.il.home.photopanel..1 .*">Click to read.</a></li></ul>
