I dont think the v8 supercars are this quick???

[zeroyon]

That was awesome. Got seriously crossed up and pulled it back spot on !!

That was 10.99 with the gayest launch i have ever seen 2.5 60ft spec.

That would be a mid 10 second car if it got of the line like it should.

And 14.2 from the stocker is also weak as, LAUNCH IT !!!

I think the current v8 supercars can dip into the 10's over a 1/4 mile.
Rumors of a 10.8 from one of them.

These sorts of vids are why i love you tube, would never get to see this sorta stuff otherwise !

[SimonR32]

all i can hear is

rb20> everything

its a torque monster :)

[Passage GT]

i've seen that video at least a dozen times yet everytime it's posted somewhere i watch it again
awesome driving effort from seton
if only bathurst had such variety these days

[V70R]

I miss those good ole days with the real cars dominating Mt Panorama before they made everything but Ford and Holden banned.

That was some stunning driving from Glen, total control !

10.99?

asif.

if it is.. fuck thats nice! ;)

sierra & GTR > holden > ford :banana:

[V70R]

Thats what i thought. 14.2 is damn slow !

ever been to the drags? :nono:

u see guys nowadays with better exhausts... more boost, better front mount and can just hit 13.9 / 14.0 :td:

mind u their RB26s are probably "getting on abit"

[V70R]

14.0+ sec 1/4mile in a R32 GTR = FAIL

14.0+ sec 1/4mile in a R32 GTR = FAIL

lol

'nah clutch problems'

[locote]

I went up against a 32 gtr a while back and kept chopping the crap out of it...
15s all night out of it!!!!

She couldnt launch it, that was the biggest problem

or that she was not a he?

thats probably the cars biggest problem ;)

:p

my mate's older brother (slippery) has got a 32. after he had it for a couple of months asked if he had had many runs against anything. said that he hadn't to quote " no point. 7 grand launch and you eat pretty much everything" now thats how you should do it haha.

Modded 26's can go slower then stocker's. Due to no tune my rb20 silvia went faster on stock boost then on 14psi.

If you can't get a stock R32 GTR even with an older rb26 into the mid 13's there is something seriously wrong.

The vid shows it all a FWD pos LAUNCHED on these cars. If your stocker gtr can't take a stock fwd pulsar at the lights ..... go hang your self now !!


mind u their RB26s are probably "getting on abit"

Thats very true too.

[zeroyon]

10.99?

asif.

if it is.. fuck thats nice!

The race GTR's in aus ran holinger gearbox's stripped out to around 1300kg(stocker is an easy 1520kg+) and between 650 - 750 hp(i assume flywheel)

Stats add up to a possible mid 10 second 1/4.

The online 1/4 mile calcs even more generous and come up with 9 second 1/4 miles. I doubt that though :)
