Found this on another forum and thought it would be a good post. No one seems to have put it up yet on here from a quick search.

New Evo mag out in the UK has filmed 2 parts of the GTR vs Veyron. They also have a number of other clips down the right side including the Alpina B7.

This is an old airstrip used as a proving ground by many car clubs, magazines and also tv shows.

Enjoy ;)

Nice one. Predictable crevasse separating the acceleration. I don't believe the Veyron is as good on the track as expected though (maybe due to its 2+ ton laden weight - I was like OMGWTF when I saw the scales), and fair enough, it wasn't really designed to be anything more than a 2mil drag car/luxury grand tourer. Can't remember exact details, but I think Veyron lapped ring in 7:40 - but the driver may have been scared to push it 100% and lose his job....

If I had the choice I'd still take the R35 as a track car and use the other 90% of the money to buy an F430 convertible as my daily and a nice house ;)

The video kinda reminded me of vintage top gear: R33 GTR vs McLaren F1

one of those cars actually has a ''horse power "gauge , ten more cylinders and just generally screams out "i am compensating for lack of a number of things"

Lol whatever impresses those lucky enough to afford it ("Ohhh look Margaret, i'm putting down 805hp, still got another 200 on reserve).

But in all honesty, the veyron is an engineering marvel. I don't think you'll ever see a car as crazy.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
