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

 

******* BOOM

 

Nice one, that's quite an increase.

 

**** me, it's a monster

TX.

Edit - look how early it makes peak torque - diesel conversion

 

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

 

That must be an awesome car on the road.

 

WOW with peak torque made that early it must plant you back in the seat in some sort of fashion,nice one fella

 

my mums punto has got more torque haha

 

Will you get there any sooner though?

 

Instead of 12mpg, it's now 9mpg so that additional fuel stop on the way to work in the morning is going to play havoc with his commuting times

Awesome stuff Alloy, good figures, sounds like a monster

 

Perhaps not, but in a LOT more style

Awesome car mate, I had the pleasure of driving one on the track and I would gladly sell a kidney to have one

Any pics you can post up?

 

It allows me to leave late and still get there early

Cruisng in 2nd or 3rd gear at 3k in the wet, plant the throttle and spins the wheels, makes things a little interesting to say the least

Couple of pics as requested;

 

^^^^^^^ I wish I were rich

 

looking at the graph, it must be one of the best laugh out loud experiences ever. 600lbft from 3k - overtakes would become slightly addictive!!!

 

Blimey - that must move fairly well.

 

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

 

Glad you like it.

 

Helps stop you looking at the Dashboard !

 

 

know that feeling.


but i dont mind being poor if i had one of them on the drive

 

Hi very nice car bet it makes for a fun drive,
Was you at the jap meet at blue water the other week?

 

I think that is excellent detail design.

A washable centre patch on the driver's seat for that moment when you first press the throttle in a wet corner

 

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.

 

Yes mate I was there, what motor were you in?

very true, i'm sick of cleaning up after passengers!

Just got sent a few pics from the RR day, shows the matte colour a bit better....

 

@ Zip, it's all relative I suppose give the man some credit for his massive torque though

TX.

 

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 wasn't being facetious - I know one costs more than double the other, but I was surprised at the (very) large gap....

 

Harldy a surprise, one is a 50k+ 500 bhp GT car fully loaded with all the luxuries the other is a 160k+ road legal stripped out race car!

 

Friday?

 

See above ^^.

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.
