Wow - New Respect For The Gtr!

[Got Boost?]

Well i just wanted to share my thoughts at the moment!

I bought an R34 GTR V-Spec II, because i love the car, i love the heritage and i love what they can do. I never thought i was a great driver, but i thought i could drive it reasonably well and thought i had seen what it could do. That was until about 30 minutes ago when i was driving with a mate, he is a competitive drifter and frequents QR but ill let him remain nameless at the stage. I let him take over control, he having never driven a GTR and we headed for some windy roads, like really tight windy stuff where your basically sitting in the middle of second gear and up to the limiter. He absolutely threw what i thought the GTR could do out the window, shat on it, and then kept going. The MFD has never experienced so much action lol, i don't think the tires stopped squeeling for about 20 minutes and i didn't think it was possible to get a GTR as sideways as he did! He was an awesome driver and i definately have a new found respect for the experience and skills the track can give you.

All i really wanted to get at out of all this is that im so so so far past incredibly impressed with what the car just did and went through in a fairly standard condition, im scared to think what its like once you get another few hundred horses under it. I love you nissan, thank you for building a truly amazing affordable supercar.

And yes, i may sound like a schoolboy that just shot his first load, thats probably because i feel that way

Join the club, do a trackday and then let an instructor drive for a few laps.

Then you find out how bad your driving is compared to someone with 10 years experience

Hey Ben, good to see you enjoying the car, just the wrong place for it. Why not come along Tuesday to QR and watch a bit of racing, and maybe sign up for a track day in the future?

Much better than the possibility of a writeoff or losing the car under hoon laws.

I do completely agree with you there! I am going to come along to QR and get involved in track days. That experience made me aware of just how much fun track days could be! Losing the car would have been a very painful experience at that point in time
