Hey,
I was on the M5 the other night at around 1am and there was a fully modded R34 GT-T on the road, it had an auto salon 07 finalist sticker on it and its an orange colour with a black GT style wing on it.
Anyway, as I pulled up next to it in my N/A R34 GT25 it took off and then slowed down again, as I pulled up to it again he brought down his window, so I did too and he asked me to go for it. I thought this would be a good chance to find out just how much slower an N/A is compared to the turbo model and when we went for it, I flew past with no trouble at all...
When we slowed down again, he seemed pretty pissed off and wanted to keep going at it, so we spent a bit of time going at it and everytime, I seemed to fly past easily keeping it no nigher than 5k RPM, eventually I decided to wait till his turbo spooled up before I took off and once again there was no trouble at all...
Is it really possible that a twin turbo charged car can be SO badly maintained that my car can easily beat it?
Does anyone here know the car and perhaps know of its service history, or lack of?
Im quite interested as its starting to turn me off the idea of a turbo, even though ive driven another turbo when I was on my L's and it felt a lot faster and responsive compared to what his driving was, is it maybe just his driving style?
I attached some photos of the night my passenger took
