Car is a track car only, doors have been gutted of all internal. Glass is set in window track for transportation and storage only. Windows are removed at track since they have to be rolled down anyway.

So it's to mess with people while heading to the track... :icon08:

Not to mess with the other drivers on the track... :stirthepot:


I think the second option would be hilarious though... :bowrofl:

Man... that is one sexy beast. How's it with a trailer?

Mike 01-08-2013 07:07 PM

haven't tried that yet, but everyone I spoke to at the last event, with S and GTS said it tows great. I'm expecting the same with 400+ foot pounds of torque. Next event is late february.

theDreamer 01-09-2013 08:13 AM

So how is your overall impression of the car? Good to drive, MPG, features, etc.

Dembflyr 01-09-2013 09:17 AM

Love it... Tow with a Porsche... Race with a Nissan!! :tup:

We love it. You would never know its a diesel from the sound of it, we are getting around 24 in town and 29 on the highway. It drives better than most sport sedans on the road, and a whole lot better than the expedition. Its equipped middle of the road for a porsche, but I dont think there is anything that we didn't get that I am sad we didnt, other than blacked out trim, but I'll be taking care of that soon enough anyways, and probably for less than the porsche price.

Their options sure are pricey! One thing on the window sticker that I could have lived without is the Porsche badge on the steering wheel. It was an 180 option!

HKYStormFront 01-09-2013 09:28 PM

yea, leather is included in the "base price" but the stitching is extra :bowrofl:

kevr6 01-10-2013 04:41 AM

It's an Audi with a strange Porsche body and badges. It is a good vehicle. It can pull any domestic full size 4x4 around in a tug of war (power and esp). Good luck with it!

Mike 01-10-2013 10:04 AM

I actually saw a tug of war video with a dodge.

Mike 02-14-2013 04:57 PM

New tow rig loaded and ready for Road Atlanta tomorrow!

SPOHN 02-14-2013 07:17 PM

sig11 02-14-2013 07:20 PM

So jealous. I want to go to RA again. Such a fun track.

Mike 02-15-2013 04:26 PM

new personal best at Road Atlanta today, 1:39:01!!!!!! Nitto tires. I think I can get in the upper 1:37s with Hoosiers.

daisuke149 02-15-2013 05:16 PM

Nice Mike.

Mike 02-17-2013 07:41 PM

Also have the stoptechs off the car and rebuilding them this week with fresh seals and dustboots, plus adding titanium backing plates. Even their high temp silicone boots were all burned up.

Sh0velMan 02-17-2013 08:43 PM

TerribleONE 02-17-2013 08:45 PM

About time. That is going to set your car off.

I need to order a couple brake rebuild kits just to have laying around. What's a good place to order that?

Mike 02-18-2013 07:59 AM

for AP Racing, I don't know. I get my stoptech stuff from Zeckhausen Racing

For your rear Nissan calipers, from Z1
