So on our way back from the Spring Fling Run 2012 up to TC, buddy and I decided to be ricers for a hot minute He's got a 2012 GT-R stock except for HKS titanium catback and I have FVD straight pipes and Tony's EPL tune. I was honestly surprised at the outcome, I thought he would have me by a car. I pulled on him quite a bit, about 2-3 car lengths even though it's hard to see in the video. He wants a rematch with dp's and tune

 

unfortunately, with dps and a retune, he will pick up those 3 car lengths and then some...

 

Oh for sure, my other friend's GT-R runs 10.9 at the 1/4 with COBB tune and dps

 

my buddy has a full bolt on car (with stock turbos) and just ran a 10.1.....so very impressive, but depressing at the same time! LOL.

 

GRRRR can't beat the godzirra for bang for buck, would like one in my garage

 

But hard to let go of the boxer growl, although with DP's and a tune the GT-R's sound like Darth Vader's personal transport

 

Impressive. 2 very different cars...

 

I remember when I first got my 996TT, I initially installed an intake, exhaust, and flash...and went 11.6 @ 126 in it. From a roll, it was faster than a lot of cars were back then. Would have pulled a stock '12 or '13 GT-R at that level as well.

Nice job.

 

He doesn't need the DP's just the tune. 2012's (with midpipe) already run 10.9's - 11.0's). Tunes put them in mid-10's. DP's further that.

Thanks for sharing! Good luck on your next race!

 

M3ntal just ran a stock 2012 from a roll in his tune/exhuast/stock turbo car and the GTR edged him out by nose i think. his tune is old and choppy on the dyno, i can defiently see this outcome here with a better tune on the 996tt. this particular 2012 ran 10.94 stock

They do feel the weight from a roll, from a dig they r crazy fast.

 

I thought weight didn't affect as much from a roll because already moving (inertia)

 

it sure does.

 

Don't the 2012 997tt's have 500bhp? 2001's only had 420bhp stock for stock.

 

I'd still say GT2>GT-R

 

Had both. Both are great cars. The GT-R is better in certain ways and more well-rounded, and the GT2 is better in others.
