R35 GTR before and after tune
Thought i'd share on here as a couple of you might be interested 
Had the chance to take the GTR back to Surrey Rolling Road where last year the car made 504bhp and 496ftlbs with just a y-pipe fitted. After fitting GTC intakes and having a GTC custom COBB tune yesterday it made 591bhp and an incredible 627ftlbs!!!!
Car drives very strongly on the road, pulls like a train! It's retained its OEM driveability at low speed and then races towards the horizon when you plant the loud pedal! It's amazing how a few basic mods can unlock so much more potential the car hides out of the factory!!
Black chart is for the Y-pipe only run last year and the red charts are the runs after fitting the intakes and getting a tune

Yeh it's a bit of an animal! Just need to get back pod now and get a good real life comparison on what the additional power means on the tarmac

It certainly makes you sit in your seat properly that's for sure! Makes for lazy driving though as never have to kick it down a gear, just boot the accelerator and instead of propelling the car forward it seems to instead spin the world

There was one of these at Oulton on Saturday - turned up with his mate in a GT2RS.
The difference was night and day on the track and they were both giving it some.
Even when it was raining the GT2 was streets ahead on the straights and in corners.
Still, it looked quite good, but I was very disappointed with the lack of noise.

What colour is that alloy?
Just a matt silver - like the M3 matt paint?
The one at Oulton look like a champagne colour - really didn't suit the car at all.
I have to say, I think I could stray from Porsche for one of these (for a little while, and then I'd be back to Pork).
Are the service/running costs as bad as some say?

I know that, but all the talk about the GTR's track exploits when it was released and what I saw at the weekend just surprised me.
Genuinely disappointed in its wet weather abilities (and the GT2 was on Cups, in the wet), but as I say -I could quite possibly live with one.
