R33 At The Ring

[tjandriesen]

Apologies if this has been posted before but I haven't seen it on here and thought it was excellent. Turn up the sound and you can hear the tyres working and plenty of ripple strip action

It was the first production car to go sub 8 min. I understand the new GTR is targeting close to 7 min

Awesome vids

It'll be an awesome effort to get anywhere near 7. The quickest cars in world are doing 7min times. Personally I think the new GTR will be somewhere between 7 1/2 and 8 mins. You might be refferring to the below list which has the GTR at 7.15, which i think is pure crap. Physics alone means there is no way a car as big and heavy with the rumoured power could achieve this time. But - would love to be wrong on this one.

Yeah no way the new GTR will do 7.15... its aiming for the 911 Turbo which would be a touch slower than the 997 GT2....

Regardless, anywhere near the 7:30 is farken quick.

That R33 GTR in that video must of been stock, how slow does it accelerate!!!

[tjandriesen]

Agree that anything below 7:30 would be amazing.

From what I understand that was a stock car on stock tires.
