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!

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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
