Forged Performance: Sharif@Forged's New Toy
 

Yesterday Sharif received his newest project to add to the stable of Forged Performance shop cars: his 2013 Nissan GT-R Black Edition finished in the always stunning Deep Blue Pearl OEM paint. As most of you know, the R35 generation of the Nissan GT-R holds a special place in Sharif's heart. He took delivery of his white 2009 GT-R in the fall of 2008 and we became one of the very first aftermarket performance shops in the states to heavily modify the GT-R for circuit track purposes. As the car continued to progress, rather quickly, it became clear that it would be spending the majority of its life on track. We made the decision to go full steam ahead on the Forged Performance GT-R and compete in the Redline Time Attack Series which resulted in dozens podium finishes and multiple track records. The Forged Performance Time Attack GT-R is now semi-retired, yet still spends plenty of time at our home track, Road Atlanta for HPDE track days. In its current state the car is fully race prepped, with 18" HRE's on Hoosier Slicks, full race cage with NASCAR style bars, 675whp and zero creature comforts such as door glass, AC or radio. While we may bring the car out occasionally for car shows and meets, it is clearly not practical to take out every weekend. For this reason Sharif made the choice to pre-order a 2013 Black Edition GT-R from our friends at Boulder Nissan in Colorado. After a seven month wait his new baby arrived here at the shop yesterday afternoon:

With an additional 65HP over his previous GT-R in stock form this car leaves the dealership floor with 545HP on tap, along with some improvements in the build quality and interior components this will be the perfect street car for Sharif. Of course he already has plans of improving the OEM power levels and handling and braking capabilities. The game plan is extreamly simple yet very effective: potent upgrades to improve this already fantastic platform while retaining the driveability of a brand new car. At least this is what Sharif claims at this point. Who knows what our newest addition to the stable truly has in its future. Stay tuned for future updates as we start the modification process of Sharif's virgin 2013 Nissan GT-R Black Edition!

Those wheels are sick!!!

They are going to look awesome on the Deep Blue Pearl. I think they will really tie in the dark grey lower sideskirts/lip on the GT-R.

Completely agree. Definitely the right choice. When are you guys mounting them?

Today, hopefully, if we have a spare set of hands. We are really busy, maybe even too busy to work on the bosses car haha
