Tight race.

Clearly the R35 GTR had the up front position.

Would have love to see the drag stip turn into a circuit race.

Watching them all to see how well they handle, blasting out of the corners and hammering down the straights.

That would have been exciting to watch.

comparison bw a 458 and GTR isn't as simple as dollar vs acceleration

most 458 buyers would prob look past simple raw acceleration figures and see the added value in design, heritage, sound, feel, wank et al

what was a let down for me is the lf-a. With it's single clutch manual and mediocre quarter it's almost as if the game has already moved on before it even started

yeah interesting that the 458, the R8GT, the SLS, the LFA, the Z06 all had higher mph than the R35 (indicating they were all hunting it down to different degrees). certainly the 458 would have it beat in a race even slightly longer. even the GT3 RS was only half a mile slower to the 400m mark despite being 7th outright...

cool test though. :)

    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
