wow Col that is amazing It makes me shudder that people like that can stay in business, it is a small small world out there and if a small business thinks that they can carry on like that without repurcussions .... then they are destined to always be a small business ... if they survive at all.

actually I will vouch for hungry6 as will a few other people in Qld when they get to read this thread quite a few people here in Qld know who is and what he does and he isn't talking bs I have seen his GTS-T at Gavin Woods Autotech and it is an absolute beast and I believe the GTR is there as well getting it's high power rebuild.

yep at the time I remember reading the drivers comments that it felt like the car was going to literally fall to pieces and it scared the shit out of him

yep i remember that, it was 307kph here is the link http://www.aps-wrx.com/falcon/avalon/307kph.htm on Avalon airport strip I would love to know where it is that a car can wind out to 340kph, regardless of what the car is

tell him to lower petrol prices and I will vote for him I just paid $50.00 and got 37 litres grrrr

yeah but at the end of the day he is a realestate agent their credibility is up there with used car salesman, loan sharks, lawyers and politicians hmmm a real estate agent who wants to be a politician ... double whammy j/k by the way

ummm okay backs out of thread slowly ... without making eye contact

I will only vote for him if he can guarantee another two paid public holidays per year

bahhahaha

sorry to go off topic before as well but I do believe the the times are valid, the manufacturers use only a handful of drivers all of whom have done thousands of hours on the track and know it as well as the back of their hand if not better. An example is that Nissan use the one driver "Dirk Schoymans (sp)" (which is one of the drivers that both Porsche and Ferrari use), for all their testing of the GTR's. The good thing about Nurburgring and the reason why car manufacturers and tyre manufacturers test on it is that it has so many varying conditions over the track length which make any short comings of the car really show themselves and not be hidden by some clever "this track only" setups. In my opinion (not that that means much lol) it shows the true performance of the car in everyday road going situations and is a far better indicator than say a short track. I also think I read somewhere that the true lap record runs are done on a closed track, not on the tourist drive around days.

I beg to differ ... I believe it was actually the BNR33 GTR that had that honour 7:59 --- 154.822 km/h -- Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R, Dirk Schoymans 8:22.38 147.617 km/h – Nissan Skyline R32 GTR hard as it is to believe that the whale was faster, apparantly on that particular track the more advanced Altessa was able to make a bit of difference to the overall time.
