Is that proven on a dyno or just what Cobb says?

 

The pedestrian protection/exploding bonnet thing is what everyone goes one about, perhaps with a little exaggeration.

They are really very good cars though.

But I prefer stick shift.

...and I'm too poor to buy one.

 

Mate I posted the link to the dyno graph!!! you tell me!!!

 

As you can tell I am stuck in a hotel and bored tonight...

...these cars are a lot more common than I thought.

There seems to be just under 1,500 registered on the roads in the UK.

Probably twice as many as I expected!

 

Ooops.

 

LOL I probably see at least one per day around where I live in South Manchester.

But 911's are more common.

 

I know of 1 in my local area.... And he lives pretty close to me and uses it everyday

Still very happy with my purchase

 

I think it is great that 911s are common - means it is a go anywhere supercar. Don't get the negative attention say a Ferrari or a Lamborghini gets.

The only more anonymous super car is an R8. There again, most people think they are a TT.

 

There is always something faster though, like my mates Skyline now that he has fitted the JUN engine

IIRC some of the figures go like this....

Timed run of 60-130 = 4.3 seconds

And he is hoping for 1300 bhp when finished

Nice video, shame the music and the noise of the car on the dyno overlap

Not about it being fastest, it's just a great car!!

 

911 supercar?

911 perceived stigma is, IMO, much worse than that of a fezza or lambo. General 911 reaction is "middle age crisis/balding fat man", fezza or lambo is "rich w@nker" ...... one of these two is closer to a compliment than the other

But then i drive a datsun, so you all appreciate i'm not overly concerned with what other people may think of me


Jurgen's GTR is top spec, can't wait to see what it achieves at TOTB!! SVM machine will be up there too, think they looking at a casual 1,200bhp

 

I'm a gay hairdresser and you're a violent chav

Those with GT3's with big silly spoilers and stickers though, well....

 

Now we're getting some truth!!!

 

Right, that's it....How dare you





Typical looking GTR drivers yeah

At least us poncey lot with our hair straightners at the ready are nice looking

As for the Porsche lot, bald, fat and middle aged as requested....

 

Typical TT owner profile

 

 

There is nothing funny about that last picture

 

I'm assuming you mean the thug on the right of this picture?

 

No, he's clearly a BMW driver, (where's that w@nker smilie )

 

Sadly, I know police officer and she drives a BMW, so your logic is sound

 

Perhaps we'll be waiting a little longer, Jurgen's JUN engine went pop

 

You are kidding, right??

Well I have just paid the holding deposit, and collection is on Friday the 12th

 

Nope, running 1011bhp, done 1600 miles and the block went boom......

 

Just read the story on the supra forum not good

 

He helped me a lot in deciding on the GTR.

 

Godzilla OD'd on too much power!! Bad for Jurgen obviously, but good for the wider community who can all learn from it and hopefully provide solutions....VR38DETT is still young in life, it needs time to go through proper R&D before its ready to be spitting out 1000bhp!

These aluminium blocks maybe light but they aint as durable as the cast iron of RB26 and 2JZ of the past!

 

Exactly... Feel rather sorry for him, lot of time and money spent... But this is why we wait for the tuning companies to do it first

 

Listen to you! Haven't even got the car yet and already giving buy signals for aftermarket performance additions

 

Actual block was it? Got a linky?

 

I thought it was Jun engine?
