so this guy i know is buying an sti wrx. the previous owner is claiming a wsid quarter mile of 12.1s with only 205kw at the wheels.

i call bullshit. how can that be possible? i reckon youd need the best part of 300 to get a gtr down the other end in 12.1.

thoughts?

Edit: just realised what i wrote.. 11.7??? for 300awkw?? oh god.. the stock R35 with less power does it faster.. all because of its super gearbox.. :D

300? I reckon you need to research :D

A GTR can get into the mid 11's with stock turbos if driven hard. So around 250awkw is all.

No, 250rwkw if that.

Its all about tyres and practice mate.

I went 12.9 with 210rwkw back when i was racing (1400kg), and that was 225 street tyres, semis/slicks would be mid-low 12 no problem.

phwoar. i reckon ive got about 250, so we might give it a good shake! smash all the hsvs there running 14s.

one more thing, since you appear to be a source of much knowledge. ill chuck v power racing in, 100ron. is it worth getting booster? much more powah? bad for engine etc?

No point without tuning for the fuel really.

But wouldn't it be a good idea to prevent pinging? I know its a good idea on the track but since the drag is soooo much shorter is it even worth going a higher octane fuel?

My mate does 12.2 in a 280awkw GTR, with 4WD problems. He could do even better.

Isn't it 5-10% ethanol? Not recommend for your car, can damage the injectors. A one off? Then i wouldn't worry.

    • And this is the the thing with a high powered, AWD, heavy car. The engine is easy, the driveline costs just as much as the engine. 🤷‍♂️ Welcome to GTRland. Whatever you think your budget is, double it. Whatever you think your timeline is, triple it.
    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
