There is a lot of back story behind the car and driver and what happened.

If you watch closely you will notice he was fine when he deployed the shoot... it wasnt until he jabbed the brakes harder and then let off that the car rotated and veered off the track.

The setup they were using for the chute caused lift on the rear of the car and under light braking the car remained stable. However, when the chute deployed he added more brake pressure which transferred the vehicle weight forward to the front wheels and the rear began to lift and go sideways. Once the driver felt that... he lifted off the brakes causing the car to increase its forward motion in the new direction... where the car would have just spun if he stayed on the brakes... he now faces the chance of flipping because his ohhhh sh*t factor kicked in and his survival reaction told him to lift and he did....

The driver is not a professional racer and has very limited seat time at this speed. I remember their first videos... they built the car and he just jumped in it trying to go for the record... in my opinion it is something that must be worked up to not achieved over night.

Bullitt stop trying to derail your own thread damnit!! lol Gtm has got that manifold figured out though it could make 1 more horsepower and that wouldn't matter it it looks like that. MMmmmmmmhhh polish it...

I can't wait for fan bois to do their whole crowd explain thing to people looking at your car, "Yeah you see they dropped a GTR motor in there."

1slow370 · 11-20-2010, 06:06 AM

oh you just cursed it we are officially calling this bullitt's GTR swap

Edit: this is when he chimes in that they already were at sema and they were professionals too

bullitt5897 · 11-20-2010, 09:11 AM

Exactly! I got sooo many of those "oooooo it's a gtr swap!" I just laughed out loud and said gt what? Not gtr... 4.5l stroker is more like it

Reality · 11-20-2010, 07:58 PM

Has this beast put down 1000+hp?

1slow370 · 11-21-2010, 03:11 AM

danielw · 11-21-2010, 07:39 PM

HAHAHA dont look at me!

The car was ready for tuning at SEMA. However, In order to get you guys the GTR conversion kit Sam had to pull the Intake manifolds to make cast copies for production. Now I leave it up to you... do you want new products or a video of a car running a week early? I choose new products

Again, everything GTM has done has been made or developed on the fly!!! GTM is also working on several peoples cars so mine isnt worked on 24/7 like most want to believe...

My car does not take away from other peoples builds and several cars have come and gone while my car has been in their shop... And trust me I would LOVE to have my car finished already!!! I have been to their shop and each time I see my car or sit in it I want to drive it... its enough to drive you MADD!!! Since May I have been without my baby!!! But I trust Sam and the crew at GTM and I have a lot of more work to get done to the car outside of GTM.

Stay patient guys
