b4 i start - those 0 - 60ft times were written by my smartass brother who happened to come across some1 comments.
up until today i hadnt tested those times yet.
NOW..
GTR owners i have something to say - OUR CARS FKN ROCK!!!!
ok here we go..
his wasnt an c55 it was an e55, which scared me when we got to where we were racing.
we ended up racing over about 800 or so meters on a road in tullamarine industrial estate. the was we did it was:
There was 3 camera men, one guy dropping the flag, and 4 people to watch which car came in first.
the rules were the win had to be clear. (min 1/2 car length infront)
we lined up, the flag dropped, and i took off so cleanly with the tinyest bit of wheel spin..
i had the engine revving between 4500 - 5500rpm for the take off. and by the time we took off i had a full car length lead.
hit about 70km/h or so (wasnt really concentrating on that, could be more could be less - adrenaline was rushing!!!) and changed just as i hit redline, each gear was changed prior to redline, but after about 400m i had about 2 full car lengths on the merc, and was driving about 165 - 175km/h. the merc began to ccatch me on the last 100, but by then he had no chance.. i ccrossed the finish about 1 and 1/2 carlenths in front and earnt my dinner and a $2000 cash bonus
there you go guys..
a $200,000 merc VS a $42,000 GTR V-spec although it may be luxury, it still cant even stand next to a piece of "Japanese crap"
The boss was so amazed to see wat my car c9ould do he threw in that bonus, and took my car for a test to see how these turbo things really work. he owns a 1965 bently, crewman cross8, merc e55, and merc sl55...
To conclude,
all i can say is that i think my nerves all fell into place, and my driving on the day was perfect and couldn be better, one gear f*k up and i was dead.
Thats for all ur replies and critisism
