On the street that GTR is silly naughty...I'm sure it rips at the track just as hard..... but it must be nice being able to take out 8 second cars in a street setting
Ya does were the good old days..Brooklyn baby...!!!!
Don't forget Cross Bay, Francis Lewis, Hempstead, and Maurice Avenue in Queens...
Please stop!!Was fun though, wasn't it? We would circle Juniper park about a thousand times and the place was absolutely mobbed, then take the LIE over to Franny Lou and drive up and down that strip. Seems like freaking yesterday. Good times, good music, it was the best...
you going to make me CRY!! At least we were the lucky one that live them good old days.That camaro got hole shotted so bad it didnt have a chance. You can see him pedal it and at about 2:01 you can see him get back into and actually start recovering before giving up. Theres no way he could have caught that GTR but he definitely had a much better power to weight ratio. On a prepped drag strip id put the $ on the Camaro.

But that is the beauty of the GTR and Awd in general....you need some skill and some hook with insanely fast track cars like that camaro. The GTR just holds down the brake and boom...launch heaven on the street. As Bison mentioned... on a prepped track the story would be reversed...even the owner of the GTR stated it many times...including in the youtube comments. Nevertheless it's always nice to see a little street action with a car that shouldn't be there
Street Lethal said:Definitely agree with Bison too, but I think the problem with many Domestic builds is that they get caught up with the traditional way of doing things, like focusing on torque. Most Imports don't even know what torque is, which is why they focus on high revving horsepower and will essentially blow the doors off of anything at top speed. I will give the GT-R it's due, because they are extremely fast when worked on. However, I really think Domestics need to focus more on top end camshafts and higher flowing heads instead of just torque, because torque really doesn't win races anymore. Maybe from stop light to stop light in a 60-mph zone, but that's about it. Here is a very well known build from overseas, and this LSX is killer with a Vortech YSI. He runs a GT-R in essentially stock form, and the GT-R, although ET's slower, traps a lot quicker, and in my book the GT-R wins because of that. If the owner of the LSX was running a T-Rex camshaft (with less overlap so the boost doesn't go shooting out of the exhaust valve), and turned up the boost he would have trapped so much faster. I will most certainly give the GT-R the credit it deserves though...

You are correct. If they ran a lot of LS with a supercharged engine they were leaving potential on the table. Idk what i was thinking about.
I hear that a lot, but it's basically AWD and high boost. Now, imagine if this GP had AWD...
Pretty rowdy sounding!
