Wow man! I looked at all of the numbers... you crushed A LOT of other cars there. I would have thought the Evo's would have at least been close... very nice job 1 sec off of a GT-R too? Doesn't get much better... REPS!

Thanks man. I was very happy with 5th overall behind some serious hardware.

Found the in-car video from the FTD car - the DSG 240RS Maxi. It has run events with Redline TA and GTA as well.

oh no question about that. Without know mods and power and such obviously I can't say a whole lot, but even if the GT-R was completely stock, and with all of the electronic control and such only being 1 second behind would make me really happy too.

My friend in his almost stock gtr ran a 2.11. most likely its was a stock gtr that chris was behind or s similar set up to my buddy.

If your friend had a downpipe and exhaust, that adds A LOT Of power to a turbo car... a TBE on an Evo for instance often results in a 30-40 whp gain... and you are comparing it to a NA 370 that MIGHT be putting 320 whp to the ground.

I would say stock GTR or not the Z did very well.. and there were other cars that he also beat that "should" have beaten him.

Yes the GT-R I was running with was bone stock, he only has tires. After each session he would take it for a 10 minute slow drive to cool down the overheated transmission.
