i think it would be too hard to determine as you would have to compare lap times...

i doubt any V8 Supercars or the Mines or MCR cars have ever raced on the same track...

response wise, MINES GTR FTW... man that thing is a monster lol

I go to bathurst most years and because of my Mums side of the family who used to race for bob jane i got to meet him and Harry firth who designed the monaro thats were i heard about a "Gt-r" if you go there everyone still talks about i think 92 or 93 the year the GTRs beat like every v8 there, Chances are a Tuned R34 vs V8 Supercar = GTR would win, one of the reasons gtr's won was because of Hicas they had awsome handling and were lightning fast.......So then they banned them because it wasnt "Fair" LOL :)

^what he said. The V8 supercar is a farken long way removed from anything to do with the road version. The falcon even still races with a pushrod V8 even though the road car doesn't.

Besides, I am yet to see any GTR get close to 298kph down conrod... :)

are you serious?

you honestly think mines GTR is going to have better response than a track setup V8? lol

If you pored the same about of money, time and expertise into an R34 as they do the v8's, you'd have something that would rival most racing pasta-rockets.

:)

here's one we prepared earlier..

a V6 TT response compared to a V8's response, yeah okay, hard to compete with...

the MINES GTR in general though, i don't think there's many cars out there at all with the V6 TT setup that come close to having response like that machine, in all the videos and time attacks i've seen that car in, the way it revs through all the gears are insane...

i'm just basing my knowledge on how i've seen the car run on the track, that is all... there's nothing wrong with your theory, but i will stand by the fact that every time i've seen that car in action and how responsive it is is insane...

The Mines GTR is a road going car with road rubber. It's going to get smashed by the current spec race trim V8 supercars in a race on any circuit you like.

tru dat

even in the short run from hell's corner to corner 2 at bathurst the v8 supertaxis are getting to 255 kph

i would like the mines gtr do that

650hp from a 5 litre pushrod v8 NA vs a 800+hp 2.6litre turbo???

v8 would absolutely eat it

now - awd in a v8 supertaxi?

thats a different story and would be a very interesting scenario

that was written a year ago

even if they could beat it a few years ago, its still a long standing record

Super GT cars today better then V8 Supercars of today?

not sure, they should compare lol

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
