Mine's Gt-r Breaks Into The 59's At Tsukuba

[Beer Baron]

for sure. I highly doubt any of the other cars were running the factory issue road tyres...

Well apart from the M3 CSL I don't think any cars come with tyres quite as "factory issue" as the GT-R's

Once someone really goes to town on an R35 I am waiting for the first sub-50 second lap

I'd love to see them try, is'nt the record like 50 secs flat set by the GT500 ARTA NSX driven by keichi tsuchiya?

Im sure when you said "goes to town" you really meant "empties their bank accounts into the car"

RE070's are standard on STi's as well.. Not as wide though.

The RE070's are proving to be a problem re track times with a swap to Dunlops proving a second quicker at least around Fuji and Aida.

my point was the time attack cars would most definitely not be using RE70s (which are street tyres). They would all be using track tyres like RE55s or A048s etc.

What time attack cars? The GT-Rs are all running OEM tyres at the moment. Bridgestone RE070 and Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST which are both options.

Both are run flats too.

edit: i'm beginning to think you weren't referring to me in your post lol...

[Beer Baron]

lol, yeah kind of. sorry, I wasn't too clear. I meant people were talking about the mines R34 comparison etc. No way does that thing run RE70s. don't get my wrong they are a good tyre by all acounts, and the dunlops even a touch better, but they are still 'performance road' tyres. and decent semi slicks would be abother second easy even at a short track like tsukuba. yeah reading back my reply was really for laurence.

i think it will take something EXTREMELY special to get the r35 to a sub 50 second lap. the current outright lap is 51.8, so to shave 2 seconds of that is going to be extremely hard. going from 1.01 to 59 didn't take that much, but it will take a lot more to get it down to 57, then much more again to get it to 55, and a massive amount to get it to 50 or below.

The R35 Super GT car is about the only R35 that will ever stand a chance to break the sub 50. And their wont be too much R35 GTR left in the Super GT car.

I think it took someone EXTREMELY special to take that comment literally. Thanks for being that person.

Try and keep an eye out for these little yellow things, maybe read this page too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon

The point is, once people crack the GT-R and start to get serious modifying it we are going to see some pretty impressive times. All of which will be above 50 seconds.
