Awesome time. How does that compare to a Veyron?

Amazing results for a full weight car. Can't wait till they fall into my price range (2025).

9.8 at 145.7 on first run today of our own one in the UK at Santa Pod. First GTR running 9s outside the US I think. This is also on stock frame turbos, no time to get the proper ones on.

Do they do anything to the gearbox (other than sweep it up afterwards) as they were having issues with standard ones last I heard ?

The solenoids can clog but usually the gears are ok if you avoid wheel hop at launch. A few circlips and clutch parts go a long way.

Cool, nice to know some expertise is being built up and problems worked around, cant imagine what a standard one feels like (much different to a 997 turbo ?) never mind that with more than double, how much does that cost to do, could buying it and modding it to that level be done for 100k.

Can a car be too quick ?

Cost to do the one we did that ran 9.8 is about £30k I guess. Better value is a standard car with just a map that can do 11.0, or adding an exhaust 10.8. Just a standard car with a map can be a bit much on the very good stock tyres, in the dry it is common for it to be fighting for traction until 4th gear.

Standard one feels like a 997 Turbo, but it depends on the variant - the 997.2 PDK Turbo S just did 2.7 to 60 by Road and Track and 6.4 to 100, 10.8 quarter mile, completely stock!

Ah, the law of deminishing returns.

GTR + remap + exhaust for (I assume) a fairly reliable every day 10-second car is outstanding value.

Guess you also can't argue against stock 911 turbo with warranty for a 10 second car either!!

0.75G at 130mph.....not sure if that's what I was supposed to be looking for but that's what appeals!!!

The graph also suggests 130mph at 3.8s...that can't be right??

The graph starts at 60 mph, So it only takes 0.05 seconds to 60 mph???

Looks like the run had an incline of 4ft?
It accelerated from 60 to 130mph in 3.8 seconds at a constant rate.
The G was 1.5 at 60 and finished up at .75 at the 130mph point.
There was a dip in G at .5 seconds maybe wheelspin?
It started at 60mph.

Yes starts at 60mph, is uphill, nothing tricky really, just astonishingly fast! More so than the power to weight would suggest as it isn't far off turbo Gallardos with much more power.

I want

How much you having to chuck at a stock 09 GTR to achieve this? Surely not getting change of £75,000 to do this in the UK? Probably still a bargain mind!

About £40k plus the car probably.
