Just got my GTR

I was really bumbed when I sold my EVO X to Mike at AFI Turbo, since I've spent so much money and time to make it a perfect track car.

I really loved driving this car, and this thing was a track monster. I had KW V3, 285/30/18 Kumho V710 Slicks with NTO3 Wheels and tuned to 350 whp by Road Race Engineering:

I've ran:
Streets of Willow Full course C: 1:25.8
Big Willow: 1:34
Cal Speedway Interior: 1:15:5
Button Willow 13c: 2:03

I picked up my GTR last Friday, and I took it to Streets of Willow on Saturday and Sunday: The car ran 1:25.55 WOW!!! This thing is ridiculously fast stock.
Here is a link to my photobucket.

Here is a picture of me taking the GT3 to school.


I'm tracking this car to Cal Speedway Interior Road course this weekend, and hoping to run 1:14.

After this track event, I'm sending my ECU to Mines to get their 540 WHP reflash. And hopefully, my KW Clubsports coilover will be installed pretty soon. Anyways, enough bragging, but I just love this car.

And here is a picture of my Specboxter. It ran 1:28 at SOW with just 150 whp.

good luck with the GTR it is a great car, my father got his in early august. As far as the launch control is concerned, I think it was pretty poor on Nissan's part to advertise the performance times as far as acc is concerned using the LC. Especially when u need the lc to get the numbers advertised. Word on the www.nagrtoc.org is that nissan will void any warrany when the find the lc mode used. There were a few rumors of trying a class action suit becuase the car is not capable of what is claimed like what happened with the rx8 and mustang a while back

Great shots-you should/will enjoy the GTR a lot (great power to the ground, and the elctronics are great when you need/want them). That boxter looks pretty mean-what class you run that in? Good pics!
