Was a great car spotting trip to work today.

First up was a New model (997?) Porsche GT2, driven by a very smart looking Asian gent wearing black driving gloves (I would too, if I had one :P)

Then it got hazy, but a BMW M1 coupe, thats a tough looking little nugget, a Red F430, Black Lambo Gallardo in Chatswood, some form of new model Bentley, R35 GTR "GTRJET", and finally a very clean looking FD3S in that lovely blue colour.

Made the trip to work a bit nicer on a weekend.

Ok here we go

As Terry said, at about 1:00 it's really bizarre as there's this couple standing on the side of the road who have seen the Lambo go past and now the Ferrari, and they're pointing to my 12 year old Bimmer and saying they prefer that! Haha! :P

quoted for coolness.

lol at the drivers revving the shiat out of those things even if they only have about 10 metres before they have to stop again. Sort of an anti-social act but i know i would probably be doing exactly the same thing.

ok not probably..

also haha at decibel levels issue, as if government gives a flying F how loud cars are..its all about cracking down on 'hoon's and getting cheap votes. Rich people in Fezza's dont count!

They play by a different set of rules hey!

At the same time I guess Ferrari drivers don't congregate in carparks and do helis on maccas trays

When the boss's Aston was running I drove it through the city once or twice; just kept it in 1st gear the whole time :)

Saw a brand spankers looking White Lambo Aventador on a flatbed going past the airport today. Hopefully there is someone very happy to take delivery of their new toy tonight.

Probably doing happy laps at brighton le sands by now...

So Ronry in here....

Saw a McLaren Mp4-12c in white in Rosebery yesterday arvo- going very slow over a massive speed hump. Really didn't think much of it from the front, rear is nicer.

Saw another matte black Aventador, this time in my gym (camperdown fitness) carpark! Number plate "IIVII". Number plate was orange on black, looked from the rear like it had a contrasting orange chassis brace inside the engine bay too, looking through the rear cooling vent. Apparently he goes to my gym a bit.

I'd take a heavily worked R34 GT-R or Toyota Supra RZ over an exotic.

Sorry, but the lamboghini adventor is just plain ugly. Looks like some kid has gone and cut some cupboard then stuck it into a car shape.

Anyway, would be the best just destroying exotic ferraris/lambos in a supra or skyline and seeing the looks of embarassment on their face..

I wouldn't... And the Aventador does 0-100 in 2.9s and 1/4 Mile in 10.6s and this is from a factory standard car... So I don't think that too many skylines or supra's out there run 10.6 that are street driven and not it race trim that would beat it.

I get what u are saying and reminds me of when I used to annihilate exotic euro cars (and gtr's off their guts :)) with my bikes, r1/zx10r/gsxr1000. One of my most memorable was on my rgv250 which is 2 stroke and blows smoke like a hooker, against a Porsche 911 Turbo from standstill up to 250kmh on Oxford st behind bomdi junction...was close but I beat her...yes it was a female and she was hot but soon after realised she had a child in the back seat which did not impress me so I let her know.

My point is that the satisfaction of beating a super expensive vehicle is fantastic :) but there is no denying the aventador

Once you get a few more years under your belt you'll think differently. I was the same when i was 18.

    • If you've been mucking with vacuum lines, start there, and check you have your vac line on properly, and on a vacuum line that isn't flowing air, it's just a vacuum source.   When you measure your fuel pressure, are you measuring absolute fuel pressure, or gauge pressure compared to the inlet manifold?
    • That last number you quoted is right about where I'm stuck, pretty spot on. Now let me share some of my Dyno results. Stock cams, stock fuel pump, stock MAFs, stock injectors, same exhaust and everything else oh yeah I forgot to add tomei FPR, intake cam advanced 2 notches, exhaust retarded 1 notch. Let's call this Dyno 01.  
    • @Murray_Calavera I forget but it's well within the duty cycle limits, my tuner is probably the only guy I trust locally to tune, definitely not the best but with his knowledge and experience, definitely the best here IMHO. He said it's the most he could get out of it on the last session (cam change) and increasing the boost wouldn't give much more gains. Yeah, definitely plan on upgrading to Link G4X or similar but I'd like to max out my setup first which I believe many have done so around 500hp.
    • Yeah, so I think that is the point. If you presume a 25% lower reading on a chassis dyno than what the engine is making, then the most you would see from a 720HP engine is ~550wHP. "Lose" a little more because AWD dyno and the number will be lower. Call a hub dyno "wheel HP" and you should see higher numbers. But the horses would be a different size. And as Murray says above - an imposed 90% DC limit drops 550 down to 500 straight away. 80% takes you down to ~450.
    • Sounds reasonable to me.  Do you know what your injector duty cycle is? I guess everyone has their own personal limit as to how high they want to flirt with 100% duty cycle, but who knows what your tuners limit is. Maybe they like to cap it at 80%? Now your injector CC to HP conversion has a 20% hair cut on it, then through drivetrain losses, yeah 500rwhp seems ok to me.  If you plan to spend on your GTR, modern injectors and a modern ECU will go a long way!
