z06/zr1 come very close and the ZR1 surpasses it for the money if you ask me....not to mention 100k mile warranty!

That is a good driver in the STi, I think he could of passed the Nissan if he did get stuck behind him and start driving OFF the track at 4:30, that was ugly.

Tuning is SUPER conservative at 16PSI on 93 and 20 PSI on race gas.

James' car runs in the AWD Modified class. So this is a fully stock engined 2004 running:

P&L Motorsports 1000CC Racing Injector kit
P&L Motorsports Fuel rail and regulator setup
P&L Motorsports Race Series Exhaust
P&L Motorsports GT3076R Turbo Kit
P&L Motorsports reverse manifold FMIC kit
AP v2

Enjoy some of the pictures below!

So... What makes the GT-R in the video an R35? I thought the 09s are R36s?

Just to throw my 2 cents in on this thread, as Tony from P&L said I was running my low boost map at this event to conform to TTS rules. I was putting down approx 340 whp. In "kill mode" as they say the car is capable of a reliable 400+ whp, which is exactly how I run it at Time Attack events. Glad you enjoyed the video guys!

Why does everyone always bring up the Spec V. Will it be that much better?

I doubt it. This current GTR is already a lie. It is more like 550hp. Who knows how much torque.

In the end it still doesn't Beat the Viper.

Yes the Spec-V is going to be that FAST! Its ok to under rate the HP, but over rating it wouldn't be cool.
