Anyone else see this video on AMS's site?

Nice! He was running it here at Indy a few months ago, beautiful car, but definitely not a car I would like to work on, absolutely no room in the engine bay.

I think that theme song is from Inception? Nice GT-R, I'll get one when I'm all grown up.

That's a disgustingly fast street car. There probably aren't too many cars that can run 9's that would have better street manners then that GT-R, if I had to guess.

Not unless you want to buy a Ferrari. The GT-R was purpose built to be a supercar that could be daily driven. The only car that could even touch it terms of streetability would be the ferrari f-3784990-0 something or another. I hate the ferrari model number.

the gtr is a nice car and fast as hell, but i just cant see myself spending $90k on it though. at the end of the day, it's still a nissan.

Nice car but 1000+ hp only got it into the 9s? How heavy is that thing?

 

[juvi1624]

They are pretty heavy cars, but they also aren't really meant to be drag cars. You put one of those things on a road course though...

 

[sax_man]

I read they understeer like a mofo (for road racing) because they weigh too much...

 

[Slippi84]

Actually it only made 900whp but I think it's a matter of figuring out how to get the ecu and the rest of the car to let it do it's thing and not limit the power then it will really get moving. Like they said too it's a heavy ass car. That is the ultimate car though. It may have slight downsides but it will smoke anything else it pulls up next to handle good and get enough traction to drive year round even in the snow due to awd what other car can you say that about.

There is a GTR down the street from where I live. Some older guy owns it. There was a pretty big rain storm the other day and as I was driving I saw the GTR hit a huge puddle of water, the guy didn't seem bothered by it.

I'll take a dsm with all the money they put in to that gtr ($90,000 for the car and probably $50,000 more for parts)

Edit:
Directed towards slippi

 

[sidewaystsi]

I was there that ficken night and didnt even realize the legend who was driving that car! Thing definetly moves out though.

...Shep was behind the tranny in the 1st GTR in the 9s...and is currently working on production stuff for it...check his site!

 

[9!'clipseDOHC]

Who cares about a GTR running 9's. I want to see his Talon running more 7's!!!!

 

[nikkeebabee]

The GTR is the future for his business of course he is going to focus on that. But I did here his talon was at the track making some tests passes a week or so ago... Looking mean too.

Yes mean.... Very mean

Nice!! Does anyone know what it ran? Last I heard it was still in pieces.

Pretty sick, the cars weigh 3800 by themselves, so about 4000 lbs. "race weight" I'd guess. They do rip around the road courses for sure, unfortunately, with all of the electronics, they make average drivers look like heroes. Nonetheless, for a car that big and heavy to run low 9's in street trim is silly. Switzer has posted 9.3@155 in their "1000 HP" GTR as well. The GTR is definitely a daily driveable car where the potential is much higher than that of an EVO, but, yes, with that, the cost is untouchable for mere mortals.....

...and Sheps car looks killer!

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

I'm not sure what it ran. He is still working the bugs out of it I'm sure. He is getting ready for this from what I hear.

I love my talon but a low 9 sec GTR is better than ANY DSM period. I can make my car faster than this DSM in a straight line I can make my car faster around a track then this car sure I can even make my car's top speed higher than this car's sure but you can only do one. While your focused on one that car is built for all of those. Not to mention it's a whole lot sexier while doing it. I'm DSM for life but if I found 90k on the ground it's not going into the talon

Unfortunately, I agree. But, if I found 90k lying on the ground.... it wouldn't be going into any car, honestly!

True story I would use it as a down payment on a nice house
