GTS T or GTR

[GTR 94]

well i own a GTS T R 33 and this afternoon as i was making my way home i come across an R 33 GTR V-Spec, (well yes the car of my dreams!) so slowly i creep behind as we aproch the lights! the driver notices me and gives a little grin (mind you driver is roughly in his 40's) lights are green and he lets the clutch out leeding me to belive he is just another old fart driving a magnificent car at only a quarter of its potential, but then with a fuel dump bluring my vision for a split second he was gone! wow its on. releasing all possiable horses i grab the stick shift to second then third pulling beside him at the next red light!

his wife also older giggling and smilling as i chuckle and listen to the sound of two magnificant cars stalling at about 2200rpm (well thats what i was at) lights are green and where off (RACING) so off the lights wheel spinning (as all GTS T's do) i find my self only half a GTR behind as i click second feeling the rear trying to pass me still as try to retain traction slip to third out to about 6600rpm and were both off the gas pop to fith and puring down the road like a quire on a perfect note. but only finishing half a car behind???

THIS HAS ME PUZZLED! i understand his only got .1 of a litre more but one extra turbo and probbably 15,000 dollars more for roughly .500 of a second quicker. i dont no, was he just playing or was it seriously close??? this has NOT changed my mind of course i still want one but maybe not for the power anymore!

any thoughts would be great!!!

mate...

A GTR is a lot different from a GTS.

It's not just the 62cc difference!

Drive or take a ride in one. It'll be clear why a GTR is twice the price.

First of all, the RB26 is internally a lot different from an RB25 other than that 100cc difference......combined that with ATTESA, a properly launched GT-R won't let U down.

you only have to look to other 4wd cars like the EVOs to match it's 'off-the-line' response....or the midship NSX-R.

ECR 33 - having gone from a semi-modded R33 Gtst (Series 2) to a virtually bog-stock (at the time) R33 GTR. I can assure you that he was taking it easy, or couldn't drive. The GTR's have a MUCH more advanced engine and gearbox (longer gears etc) and are considerably faster than a Gtst.

If you were in Sydney, i'd take you for a drive in mine..

how much money u got? that is the question.. double the price for not double the performance.. but well GTR's are cool so buy one..

but well, both can be equally fun to drive in capable hands.. but see point a)
