Revs are instant because it is geared ridiculously short....so much so that its top speed is only 230-240km/h

As a guess I would say ~2:20 due to sitting on the limiter for most of conrod

The Gibson Car had a best of 2:12

Mark Berry's R34 did a 2:13 with big aero and 700+hp and a hollinger

+1 stock, and it's sets a close pace to the fastest lap.

Imagine the potential when tuned and lightened!

Omg make it happen. Haha

and imagine the potential of a v8 supercar if they were lightened and didn't have strict regulations regarding, well, everything. with the soft compound/sprint tyres they use and even small changes to the regulations the v8 supercars would be doing sub 2 minute laps.

no you cant make those changes due to motorsport having a huge impact on the environment. *cough*

thats why F1 is thinking of going turbo charged.

Besides you sound like a hater. I still believe that with GTR tuned and having all the same goodies as a v8 supercar, ie, no back seats, racing suspension, tyres, brakes, perspex windows and the list goes on........ it will stand a good chance of showing them who their daddy is!

Edited by eat_me

you can't compare a car that can be tuned to unlimited specs to a car that has to be tuned to very strict regulations. hell the v8 supercars have quite a bit of ballast strategically placed around the car because without it they would be under the 1355kg minimum weight regulation. it is a pointless comparison. i'm sure there are plenty of privately owned, non race spec commodores and falcons out there that would give v8 supercars a run for their money. hell if someone bought a v8 supercar, bumped up the rev limit by 1000rpm, took the balast out, put on some different tyres and went back to running premium unleaded fuel (or even a race fuel) and tuned the engine up to the way they were before the rules regarding engine life (how many engines they could use in a season, etc), then you would have cars that would make teams like 888, HRT and FPR look like privateers at their first race meeting.

and no i'm not a hater, i'm a realist. any racing category has strict regulations. this is why lap records don't get smashed every year, and why some f1 lap records are nearly 10 years old. technology improves, but they generally don't make the cars much faster, just more reliable. comparing cars from different categories, or a privately modified race car with a categorized race car is just plain stupid. you also can't compare the budget of a race car with a privately modified car because the majority of the race car budget is spent trying to get the most out of what they have to work with.

You mean like this?

will be about 1.5-2 secs a lap slower around the mountain.

fanboi's always underestimate how quick the supercars are

put the sprint tyres on the supercar and you can make that 4 to 5 seconds slower

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
