That's f**king hot.

My bike would spank them both to 250ish, however :P Actually, on second thoughts it'd probably be a fair race.

The R35 drivers says "its nothing", but to pull away like that - at 230-240km/h - phenomenal.

Also don't forget the Lambo ain't DSG :)

Plus the Lambo will forever sound awesome.

I agree, and I'd take the Lambo just for the sound...

FYI for those that are interested, looks like the GTR was making aroun 800rwhp:

"While Oleg's car does indeed have our ALPHA 12 turbo kit and some of our bolt ons the engine in the car is not an AMS one. It's actually an engine that Oleg himself built as a temporary solution as his previous motor (also not an AMS one) had been damaged. Oleg's car has a simple 3.8L engine in it with 100% stock cylinder heads and cams. Chris did indeed tune Oleg's car when he was down there and he said its making somewhere in the neighborhood of 800whp.Due to the 3.8 and stock heads were were limited on how much power we could make and to what RPM level we could spin the engine to.

Yes Yuri's blue car is much faster but i'm impressed with what Oleg's car is doing. Keep it up!!"

why do I get the impression the guy in the GTR can't drive...

and yes agreed, Lambo FTW!

The fact he felt it necessary to push on the steering wheel through the firewall everytime he floored it?

That's what gave me the impression.

Anyone want to join this cruise???

Stephan Winkelmann told a Service Manager to tell Yours Truly to get out of the Service Area whilst I walked past and into the Museum in '06 (the year after he started as CEO) - lol

I got footage of it though...

+ a Soundtrack of a Diablo fanging it around a track (echoing inside the Museum)

+ all the Yummies on show > made my day!

PS I have it on minidisc > don't know how to upload it to here if it's possible.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
