I wasnt because the drag race is and always has been staged to finish in the order based on past individual tests. what you are seeing in the video isnt the times they display...the GTR ran that 11.1@125.3 back in July and the Turbo S ran that 10.9 in like the spring. That's how MT does it the GTR in general is hurt by 91 octane by at least 20+ HP. the NISMO uses more aggressive ignition timing and a larger fuel pump to get the extra HP so 93 or better is even more critical for it. the car has larger turbos that spool a bit slower so its actually about 1 tenth slower 0-60 so it needs all its top end power to make up for the down low power delivery differences from MotorTrend Quote:
