3 Seconds on the Burger ring really isn't that much.

I didnt hear you say that when the GTR beat the Porshes........lol

Id still rather the twin turbo over the 7L v8 anyday

Didnt see that call coming.... :D

Interesting to see it beat it on a track where there is undulation and corners which you would say "should" suit the GTR better, BUT it came and conquered, so straight roads it should sh!t over the GTR then.......... :D

Impressive the yanks can now build car which actually handles quite well and has a lot of power to boot. I dare say though that the GTR could have driven home without a pit stop at the servo, where as the vette probably was running on fumes by the time it reached the front gate on the burger ring track.

Haha yeah, i agree it doesn't beat the porsche by much, but it was a reality check to the prestige manufacturers, good to see at least one manufacturer has stepped up to the plate.

Hope the V Spec will beat that time by another 3 seconds, will leave alot of company directors scratching their heads :D

impressive! but the vspec should do well...

read the comments! vspec should do a 7 flat...

7 flat is VERY fast if you compare that to the cars on the list

EDIT: Just reading up on both cars, The GTR has a decent amount less power (kw) than the Corvette

Vspec is coming....................

The Corvette is no doubt a machine; but damn look at how hard it looks to drive compared to the GTR.

For the usual driver I have no doubt one would run a better time in the GTR than the Corvette.

word is the VSpec in test guise has already done an unofficial 7:25

Interesting to note the weight difference. For a change it looks like the yanks have slimmed down the car...superior pwr/weight ratio by far. Hopefully the vspec will drop a few kilos and add a few horses... should narrow that 3 sec gap for sure..

Still.... thats rather impressive for an american car. Gotta give credit where its due

WOW, thats one for the books, does anyone know if this was just a one off, or was over several laps.

Maybe they should put a "P" plater in the Nissan Skyline GTR see how they go.

Impresive the Corvette though.

Hrm couple of caveats to consider having looked at the wiki entry. Says that the time is what the manufacturer claims (aka unverified) as opposed to the GTR. Also, it says the lap position started in an unusual spot, and the times recorded havent got a verified count...

If the Vspec GTR can shed a whopping 250kg and get more horsies, then the ZR1 is gonna get pwnt (imho)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
