Runs with a GTR

jikjak · 10-20-2008, 12:37 AM

i did a couple runs with a gtr on the weekend.
first attempt he had a better launch and got a slight jump and i ended up about 1 or 2 car lengths behind. on the second attempt i had the better launch and it was closer. my nose was in between his front and rear tires. keep in mind that he didnt use his launch control feature. i think it would void his warranty or something.

i wasnt expecting to win but im happy that i didnt lose too badly. also the stretch of road wasnt too long, definitely less than a 1/4 mile. he didnt seem to be pulling away from me so i wonder how it would be if we had more road to play with. i was also on some my 20" chrome rims at the time, im sure that did not help me too much. my car has kleeman k1 kit and renntech headers so far. i cant wait to get the 80mm throttle body and a retune!
also spanked an isf and a modded 335. it wasnt even close!

anyways have any of you guys gone up against one?

Because we care about the looks as well. While some might be happy and content with 18's or 19's, others, like myself, will not put anything other than 20's on our AMG's.
