The way you can beat those 1500+ hp GT-Rs is by actually enjoying your car and driving it! They dont have that luxury.

Thank God NO!!! More like a consistent off angle pull then shift then the car would angle the other direction slightly. Granted I am rolling into the throttle... Not mashing the pedal for fear of that happening to me...

Man... how do you keep the car straight without twisting the rear end and spinning out? That's what I worry about when I floor it in 1st and 2nd.

2nd gear the car is sideways and your counter steering while on the throttle... 3rd gear it wants to snap back from the shift and you have to roll on... 4th and 5th it is slightly sideways... Every pull i have done so far in mexico... the car spins the tires through 4th gear... I typically short shift at 5k rpm on some runs depending on the other car to make it even and to keep the car from going too sideways... ran it over the weekend against my buddies 600whp 300zx and even with him jumping the start (lol on 3)... me short shifting with tire spin I caught him in one gear and was passing him... once i caught him and started to pass him I cut the throttle as it was getting way to fast... that and I was running no hood and plastics in the engine bay started to lift and wave hi to him as I passed him.

Lol true because racecar!
my new hood arrived today or so says Jon from Z1... we will see when I call him in a few... Only an upgraded clutch and flywheel at the moment. The OEM gears are perfectly fine for these power levels suprisingly... may go down to a lower Final drive to get better top end and improve drive-ability. 1st gear 60mph anyone hehehe I am still awaiting my traction control unit from GTM. We were missing the wiring harness and Zeliminator was kind enough to loan his for a new one to be made for me!
