well you have to take into account that the gt2 is much lighter (145kg) and more powerful (37kw more) than the 911 turbo (and did you see the size of the feet on the back of it!!!), and comes standard with carbon brakes and is only rwd (so doesn't understeer quite as much as the turbo), so it was always going to hammer the 911 turbo round the track. and the gtr was speed limited, so until they can test 1 without speed limiting we won't know how they compare, on that track at least.

but didn't the guy doing the test of the gtr say that the one he was driving wasn't speed limited? if so, why didn't they put that 1 round the track?

Yes

SOME SAY.....that he used to race r32 GTR's at Bathurst and has recently retired from V8 supercars !!! ;-)

Car killer...mmm dont think so

I finally got home and watched my first ep last night. So wrong in so many ways. Who is that plonker doing Clarksons job? What a try hard. The show looks weak, the narrative is disjointed, what was that "what were they thinking" segment? and that R35 story lacked resolution. It's crap....Ï see some "retooling"in the future

If they actually tested different cars to UK TG it would be worth watching, but the stupid thing is they don't. They test the same cars (even with the episode delay TG UK still tests it first) and are far worse commentators.

I would say it was a half arsed version of TK UG but thats too much of a compliment.

anyone who saw the way Courtney and Murph threw the 'bog standard car' around should now plainly see the Aussie Stig is not a professional driver, or even a good club level driver. So forget your ideas of him being a current or ex V8 Supercar driver! I don't know who he is, but he ain't fast. Has the Stig driven the Mazda 2?

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
