indeed we were constantly monitoring the transmission temps.. half a dozen laps per session were enough to see it creeping up.. the gtr was being pedalled by a race driver though!

Is the gtr standard? Surprised to see it pulling away on the straights!

Gtr will pull away from a 458 in many vids.

my old 996.1 snotter...

GTR is significantly quicker in a straight line, its weight can be an issue for track work although the brakes are pretty mighty, many are over to alcons for additional retardation.

Good driving mate! Car looking good too.

GTR was throwing some chunks of rubber at you though!

[GT Glee]

Was good to see your 996 being held up by a GTR

Usual story for a GTR on track without expensive extra tranny coolers. 7 minutes and all done , back to the garage for a 45 minutes cool down !!!!

Good vid though , just shows the extra weight of the GTR in the corners but the almighty power of the engine.

I wonder how much it would cost to make it lighter?

Those slicks make a big difference, don't they Ade?

£10k is the price for the trackpack - and whilst that makes it about 7 grams lighter it does not include a tranny cooler , roll cage , harnesses or any additional power

go figure

[woppum]

Well it is wry hard to extract extra power out the gtr. Maybe Nissan simply couldn't manage it?
