The GT-R had 3 passengers, 3800+lb car, maybe 4200 lbs at that point....1/2 throttle.

Its clear in the first race the 370 gets the jump and at that point the GTR never had a chance. However, the following races look like much more of a fair fight. I had no problem hanging with a mid piped/tuned GTR at Zdayz and my car wasn't even making 8PSI

Yeah hanging. GT-R is a better platform. I really hope no one is trying to justify other wise.

A better platform? How about a DIFFERENT platform.. I personally have more fun driving my 370 than a GT-R. Not knocking the GTRs performance, its just to numb and bland for me.

if a transmission is the only reason that makes a car fun then wow. I personally find driving a GT-R fun. But I've never driven a TTZ either.

Having a built engine are you looking to turn up the boost?

I like manual, but automatic is the new standard. Dual clutch transmissions, ultra fast shifting...If the supercars like Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, McLaren, GTR, and the like are doing it, then the others will follow. If you want manual but "NHRA" level hp, then buy a domestic like Vette, Mustang, Hellcat, etc. I'm still not impressed with how lots of domestics' formula for their upcoming performance cars is just: let's add more hp, torque. "That'll show the imports who's boss!" That's such a knuckle-dragging dogmatic perspective. But to each his own.
Everyone's been on the hipo, race-car-inspired auto trannies since the last 6, 7 years. Manuals are an anachronism. It's like saying hipo cars still use carborators; it's fuel-injection, actually direct injection now. Times change, and you should embrace it. |
