"Street" GTR nearly ready - at last

[Martin Donnon]

20K isnt a waste if its spent on a car:p

Dont be so pessimistic, you could easily have an 11 second street car that is quite happy in traffic - your not driving an LS1:p

Yes, just dont let the cops see you!

[whatsisname]

Dear oh dear. Almost got sucked into the, mine is better than yours, debate

There's no doubt that the LS1 powered Commodore/Monaro is a reasonable quick beast from the factory. With a few $$$ it can be made to run very quick numbers. Henry, Rob & Matt's cars are three local examples.

I think we should have an RB vs. LS1 challenge!

Challenge #1 - How many laps of Anzac Hwy before receiving a defect

Challenge #2 - Quickest time up EOTH towing a boat

Challenge #3 - Largest number of, 'ful sik bro', comments on one pass of Rundle St (bonus points awarded if you also collect a defect during this challenge)

Challenge #4 - Ahhh.... well you all get the idea. Feel free to add more

:bahaha: :bahaha: Good one Matt!!

How about the old, First to use a litre of oil challenge!

[whatsisname]

Ah yes! Nice addition there mate, forgot about that one

What about... Most number of broken ringlands?

Seen 7 in an LS1. I win

[GFXman]

I agree with all of the above .... strap some slicks (and/or nitrous as some of the LS1s) on our cars and we have a different bll game. I'd give any of those LS1s a run on the street on pure street tyres and I know what almost all the results would be.

I know the result... we'd win *cough* jaffa with 3 people *cough*

Even with your swanky tyres LOL

[Nightcrawler]

seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeef Joolz

[GFXman]

bahahaa you know it!

[EnricoPalazzo]

Hahahah top stuff guys.

I saw jaffa cruisin down rundle yest in Metro3

I think he was with his misses?

[GFXman]

doubt it was the missus... she would be at work.

Prolly him though - he could have been in the metro company car dropping a customer off perhaps

[Cubes]

Jaffa's mobile will be seeing the rear of my R32 again... soon...

/mumbles 'providing my gearbox isn't left at the lights'

[GFXman]

haha, tha challenge is on

[whatsisname]

Joel,

I take it you haven't budgeted for an R33 g'box upgrade?

[hippy]

i saw the jaffa mobile a while ago parked at that metro holden place at mileend ... u know where they have that hsv service center ... u wouldn't realise how much power it had unless u knew the car

[Cubes]

Matt,

nar not yet buddy, I'm relying on a set of street tyres to not hold enough traction to break the box.

[Martin Donnon]

Here it is then guys, the one off and highly excellent chance for the Ricers to put away the Rattly Oil Burners once and for all. Its the LS1 Drag Nationals, and interestingly enough one of the event sponsors, and main competitors is Keir Wilson in his R32 GTR. Go figure! Prizemoney is excellent though...so if you are up for it, download an entry form and fill it out!

Picked up the GTR this week.

Made 348rwkw at 0.7bar, then after a few kays & an oil change, made 420rwkw at 1.3bar.

The car feels very strong.

Mick & co at Tilbrooks have done an excellent job with this current build up.

We will leave the tuning on the conservative side for a while so I can get used to the car (& the crazy gearbox)

then later we might put some better fuel in & crank up the boost a bit more & see what it can do down the 1/4.

Country roads are what this thing is built for, so will be good to get out of the city & stretch it's legs.

[Cubes]

How does it build boost Munro? Where it was expected?

[EnricoPalazzo]

Congrates mate. I know how lond uve been hangin for it. Mayb u can consider takin me for a quick spin one day.

Also check ur pm i have sent u message.
