[quote=XeviousR;2065602]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!

I think these questions were already answered. Low boost map so I assume 16PSI putting down 340WHP, and he said "to conform to TTS rules"

Try to read more carefully next time.

Awesome video! Love the camera position Is there a full mod list for the car somewhere? What was done to get the weight down to 2800 lbs? Nice job guys

Although I must admit, by about the halfway point I was fairly impressed with the Takatamobile. Not bad at all. Driver wasn't too shabby either.

he didn't just catch it - he beat it handily - a full sec faster

you have to get out of 'he pulled on me' mode to appreciate road racing

The STi did a damn good job in my eyes. The GT-R was barely a spec when the green flag dropped. Props for catching up to that badass
not sure if you know this but stock for stock a c6z06 will pull the GTR in a straight, easier on a rolling start...multiple videos of owners confirming this.

but yes the GTR is quicker around a track just wanted to clarify.

GTR is more like a low 120mph car in the 1/4, vs. the z06 as a mid to upper 120mph car.
