R34 Gtr Vs V8 Supercar

[sneakey pete]

Didn't mark and russ's gtr do a 2:14 around bathurst? that's about 7 seconds off the outright lap record, which i think pretty much sums it up. They probably have a few seconds left in their car, and for a bunch of guys who aren't a fully funded race team they've done a bloody awesome job, but a racecar built from the ground up is always going to be faster than a modified street car. No shame in that in my opinion. you can't drive a v8 supercar on the street, to work, or park it in your garage.

Off to Melbourne on Thursday as we have brought a DJR Falcon V8 Supercar, DJR BF14. We can have a Shootout if anyone wants.

I prefer my GTRs etc but this is Thread is GTR R34 V V8 SC and for now the V8 would win by a huge margin, If Australian Touring car rules still included the rest of the World and R34s race it would be a different story.

I recon a 34 GTR with the same build costs as a V8 supercar (300+k) and runing on slicks would be a good match to supercar. It would need to do about 56 second lap time at wanneroo

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

Actually I believe the Gibson Motorsport R32 GTR did 299kph down conrod during an august 1991 test day.

They also did 2:13.82 lap during 1992 bathurst with boost restricted and weight penalties required by CAMS to slow them down.

Given 18 years development and better quality of slicks used today I think a race prepped R34 GTR would smash a V8 Supercar. Of course it cant comply with the same rules the v8's have to so it will always be hard to do a fair comparison.

Didn't they ban GTR's for a reason?

Sumopower.

And those cars share practically nothing in common with a road going R35. Would still love to see how their times compare to a V8 super taxi!
