My GT2 is a freakin' thrill-ride...

Especially in 34 degree weather at 1.6 bar on street tires.

That is all...

Just curious. Why is the GT-R so slow in the 60-130? Feels like it should kick a$$.

Glad you had fun today

Slow? With only 2 modifications (cat-back and tune), and weighing in at 4,000 lbs with me in it, it's slightly faster than a ZR1, 1 second faster than a Z06, 2 seconds faster than a 997TT, and around 5 seconds faster than a stock 996TT X50 cab tip. It's not slow at all.

1.6 BAR on 100 octane. 1.5 BAR on 93 octane. No meth.

I run 100 octane 99% of the time.

I took it for a quick spin during halftime and it definitely got my heart pumping. Nailed the 3rd to 4th shift and the rear-end got loose at over 100 mph.

Sorry, but a stock 996TT X50 cab tip is faster then 16 sec in the 1/4 mile.

Yep, you are right. Sorry, I missed that post. My bad.

But I say it's faster from 60-130 then 16 sec as well. He said it was 5 sec faster... no way. Since you can correct me you might want to correct him as well. Cheers.
