Wait..............what?

That's insane

1194awkw - dear jeebus.... that is truly monstrous

[Angus Smart]

its funny when yanks get involved..

[SS8_Gohan]

as much as some lamented the fact the yanks were finally getting the GTR, i'm sure most non-US owners see it as a real positive, increases the market just so much more to allow for these crazy after-market results. Would have been interesting to see how they would have gone had they has the 32-34 R....

seems to be some trash talk in that thread about a TT Lambo? a 1477rwkw lambo?????

I wonder what those 2000hp cars would make on a Mainline dyno.

I wonder what those 2000hp cars would make on a Mainline dyno.

Who knows? In the case of the Omega chart the last 50/100hp of that dyno sheet is the dyno control system getting into trouble and spiking/oscillating, so imagine that the real number might be closer to 1550whp on a Mustang. From the testing we have done you need to multiply most Mustang outputs around 0.75 to get close to what we seen on a Mainline (remember we exported many turbo systems to the US over the years and collected a lot of back to back data). Now convert that back to awkw and you are looking at close to something like 850awkw - which is more than enough for the street one might think!

You have to give it to the Americans, their obsession in turning anything with wheels into a drag Supra is paying some big dividends if that happens to be your bag. How long before there is a Turbo 400 retrofit into the GTR? Dont laugh...yet

Indeed, they have conquered ultimate hp, but I'll give them a clap when reliability is equally as good

The UGR TT Gallardo has a lot of benefits over a GTR at that kind of power level.

For a start its a much smaller and lighter car

The transmission/engine is inherently stronger

You can use big turbochargers on the engines as they arent limited by engine bay room.

If driven to use the 1500+whp properly, I dont think anything is going to last overly long at that power level. Its just physics

hello jaw, please come back up from the floor.

[Snowman]

As crazy as this thing is I fail to see the point of it.

Just seems like the wrong platform. But each to their own I guess.

[NYTSKY]

^^^Fun is the point.

[Snowman]

For what - the one run before it blows up?

[No Crust Racing]

Just to follow up on this, they managed to break the world record after a couple of runs @ 35psi, and into a headwind.

Looks like they need some work on traction and it'll go faster again, not bad at all for its maiden voyage down the strip.

+ 1 i dont see the point of making an all round supercar into a one dimensional heavy drag car

but that is the US tuning scene, and AMS knows what it takes to sell parts

what is most impressive is the roll on 60-130 time of 3.13 seconds

I guess the old adage "why not" is probably reason enough, but further to that I can't see anything wrong with someone setting their sights on one goal, fastest R35 quarter mile in the world isn't exactly a small feat and reflects well on the company in a lot of ways.

You could say the Veyron was a pointless car, it's outgunned by plenty of cheaper and less powerful cars in a track environment, but that doesn't take much away from its ability to delve into the 400kph range. (Someone clarify for me, is it still the fastest car? I remember the SSC Ultimate Aero taking the crown but then Bugatti came out with the Super GT Veyron or something sounding similar).

It's a very powerful Nissan doing cool things, good enough for me. Or is the issue that someone is taking a different direction with the platform than what you see as befitting it? (Snowy/Domino). I'm not trying to antagonise anybody, just curious as to why other 35 owners wouldn't see this as a good thing.

[sneakey pete]

This GTR would probably be the fastest 8 second car on the planet around a track

[No Crust Racing]

Even better
