Tangled with a GTR.......
Went to the track yesterday(lightning in NJ), fast 1.9 mile track, got a chance to mix it up with a modded GTR in the red run group (one below instructor).
Now, my car isn't stock, neither was his( not real sure what he had other than a possible exhaust). The first session in the morning he followed me, my car was a little loose so I let him by, but on his arse the rest of the session. The next session I got my tires dialed in(waaaay too much pressure), I followed him, very fast car.....but not fast enough!
By turn 5 he was waving me past, then he just couldn't keep up in either the straights or corners. The third and final session wasn't even close.
Overall, I was very impressed with the GTR, I could see how they would give a stock turbo fits. They handle well and have a lot of power, but the car is gigantic on the track, godzilla for sure. 7:29 power, not sure about that!
I have a video, but I somehow recorded it in zoom mode, I'll try and fix it later and post it up.
