Ouch! I just got spanked by a GT-R on the freeway. I bought a 2003 turbo about 6 months ago. It was modified by Evo Motorsports in Arizona a few years ago. It now has 18k miles. It has brake, suspension, clutch upgrades and a GT640 engine package with headers, exhaust (stock intercoolers). How do I get to 600-700 rwhp? Where do I go from here without breaking the bank again??? I'm in Dallas. Anyone around here?

 

How bad was it? You need 24/18's. We can fix you up here in Houston.
Watch the video in my signature of me racing a moddified GTR BL600.

 

Damn, must be a pretty modded GTR

 

simple formula $$$=+hp

 

Saw this Evo article about a GT-R (US car if I recall correct) with 800 hp. Now that's a baby Veyron. Scary stuff.

Good luck with your mod's!'

 

A modded GTR can be monster. My friend just bought one. Had it parked next to my Turbo, and the Porsche still looks more stunting!

 

GTR had to be very modded...I've been in stock GTRs and up top, they won't pull as hard as a 650 car...

 

I'm surprised you lost.
Just like everyone said, must have been a modded GTR.
Because I haven't lost to a stock one and I only have bolt ons and a flash.

 

Hehe, I love the attitude though. Same as myself.... crap, just got beat, need more power!

 

LAME! You raced a car that was slippin' and slidin' away that has a few grand in mods!!!! Go pick on someone your own size would ya?????

a grandma can drive the new GTR fast, it feels like a cross between playing video games and driving a mercedes. Just be happy you're having more fun in a car that's IMO purer to motorsport. But if "fun" is beating other cars... time to spend more money. Power to weight ratio, Im guessing you can't be far off. I bet at very high speeds the P would excel. dangerous though...

 

At least you dont have to change gearbox oil after the run will be intresting to see when datsun sorry Nissan will adress this problem ;-).
GTR is a nice car but it has a few drawbacks weight and the gearbox seems to be a weak link, the temp the gearbox oil have just after a few laps on the track. Is like a PS3 on wheels .

 

You need to learn to drive that 650HP car. Should not of happen unless your Evo mods (and HP ratings) are low.

 

+1 and yes on second part.

 

The transaxle on the GTR isn't really weak (few transmissions have failed, only those have been very well publicized). It just can't take repeated and abusive launches. It's an amazing car. Weighs two tons and is fast and quick not to mention a great handling gem. All for ~$80K new. Time will tell...

Having said that, I'm shocked a 650HP 996TT lost to it.
