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. :)

    • Just an FYI.. I installed a ECU Masters det3 piggback. For the next few years car will remain N/A but it has inbuillt 4Bar map sensor , boost control etc if we wanted to use it for turbo conversion when the time comes. Though the plan is to do a manual conversion and go to a link ecu when that time comes.
    • Do a degree in mechanical engineering specializing in combustion systems and materials. Learn how to actually wrench on things that don't require 70k+ USD buy-in while you're at it. You also want to learn to weld and machine. If you still want to do this then you'll nominally have the knowledge to actually do what you're thinking of doing. Whether you still want to do any of that once you've actually gone through that process is anybody's guess. Personally I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than trying to package a supercharger under the hood of any of these cars when the turbos are already fighting for every last inch.
    • That's a function of the fuel pressure reg, not the pump. The pump can do more, needs to be able to do more. The reg keeps the pressure in the rail constant above whatever the manifold pressure is.
    • You need enough post count to have PMs enabled. It will come. They are not the same. The NA box is the skinny little box and the turbo box is the big heavy one, and the yokes are not interchangeable.
    • So, you're not talking about rebuilding the dampers, just putting new tops on them? You just need new tops and a spanner.
