The wider the track, the slower you feel!

Try running that car on a 1 lane road with nothing but wheat fields on either side of you! It will definitely feel faster!

What does it need to "look" capable of 600hp? More shiny stuff?

TT kit and built motor is all you need to be capable of 600hp.

In Love with the M3 and the 430.
God! 600 on a 350z in the track that would be a very interesting machine to drive.

No problem guys, I love sharing pics of trackdays. The F430 Challenge was nice for sure...there was a 360 Challenge too that caught fire.

As far as the HP... that car definitely doesn't have the claimed HP... I mean...it had really nice top end, but down low it was getting destroyed by porsche turbos and gt3s... Once the z got into the corners though there was no catching it unless they also had race tires..

I only took pictures of the cars immediately around our area of the paddock, there were a LOT of nicer cars...next time I'll get more pics. Apparently you guys wont have to wait so long till next time since the next event is on the Jan 3rd. If it doesn't get canceled, lots of pics coming hehe.

I can post pics of older trackdays too by request

Possibly some HD video too

That sounds like textbook Greddy twins to me. Never felt turbo lag before?

That is a prime example of people paying too much attention to peak horsepower vs. powerband. Who cares how much power it makes if it only makes it between 5k and 7k rpm.

18rgcelica73 · 12-26-2008, 02:07 PM

^Very true, peak power makes no difference to me if I don't have the power all over the band. You will find that often in drag racing the lower powered cars with a much nicer and more refined power band beat the snot out of the really high powered cars with a horrible power band.

I used to have a GT35R on my STI, before I got the 30R... I know what lag is hehe.

Yeah I didnt like that setup all that much...

Damn... That viper got MANGLED! WTF happened?

o0javi0o · 12-26-2008, 07:32 PM

Love the GT2..... so sad to see it with the new crash aerodynamic design.....

18rgcelica73 · 12-27-2008, 04:17 PM

Wow losing a lot of very nice cars that really sucks. You know I really like how the GT-R is designed but should have been a manual transmission to begin with, I love a challenging car to drive.
