Top Gear: Could Their Big Race Challenge Be Gtr Vs ?

[lingeringsoul]

Come out to a multi-club supersprint. AROCA (Alfa Romeo Owners Club of Australia) is one of the clubs, along with the NSCC and HSV Club, and maybe you can pick it up. I can't stand Alfasuds. Loudest things there bar the VK ex-race cars, but slower than a wet week. I don't understand the "soul" and "passion" either, but a mate used to have an old Alfa 75 and has a soft spot for it.

The way I see it, "character" is a zealot's euphemism for "things that a sane person with a normal car that doesn't suffer from would call shit".

hahah exactly how I'd describe it

heh I watched the GTR vs the Bullet train on youtube last night, its pretty cool. Really looks good in red as well!

[lingeringsoul]

im reading some really conflicted reports of the TG track time from GTROC, some saying the driver had some explaining to do (meaning it's too slow?) and other saying it's unbelievably quick.....so who knows.....Monday is going t be a long wait.

Thats 2 in the sig for scathing...

I don't like with you I think but I seem to agree with you when it comes to people and cars.

Well, if you don't want to know what the time was then don't click this link because it has been updated with the GT-R's lap time.

No way! I'll believe that time when I see the episode!

[lingeringsoul]

now my Qs

Is the GTR on semi slicks

and if so, are the rest of the faster competitors on the semis when they did the laps.

[ras1983]

And, is that car in fact a ringer of any sort?

I can believe times that are marginally faster than Z06's or GT3's, but that time on wikipedia (I don't want to give any clues as to where it sits) can't be possible with standard car running standard tyres.

[lingeringsoul]

this is going to upset a lot of people.

soooo............................v spec.

It was a privately owned JDM grey import.

[DRIFTER]

It beats an enzo round the ring, so it should win at the tg track.

[GTR-N1]

Am a bit relieved that the GT-R had a dry track to work on...

[Sarumatix]

Looks like someone decided it wasn't acceptable to post the time on wiki yet! I missed it .

[Sarumatix]

Just found the time.. holy moly!
