Re: Wanna Go Fast
And, you also have to take into account the price of the Nissan GT-R vs the price of a Porsche 911 Turbo...

Re: Wanna Go Fast
I enjoy my stab and steer. Next year I will work on making it go around a corner. Although my car does go around corners now, its just always is sideways for some reason.

No Tour has hit 12's yet. 13.2 is the best done, and that was with a 3.0L turbo putting down 400 ponies. Granted he trapped at over 120 mph, but still.....no 12's. Stupid traction........

Re: Wanna Go Fast
yeah... and I have to think - 3 years ago, I did a 16.2...
Are the thousands of dollars, hours of labor, and stress and frustration of tuning everything juuuust right... worth those extra 3 seconds on what is essentially a FWD low end sports coupe?

I stand by that the car is plenty fast for what I use it for... any upgrades would just be for fun, or if something breaks down. I personally would never try to turn it into a race car unless I had some serious motivation and talent. lol

Well, no; but it just goes to show, you don't NEED a 3.0 turbo to run deep into the 13's.

Never said you did. There is another tour that ran the same time with a huge shot of no2. But once the bottle is empty, what do you have?
