Not really pointless IMO as it shows how much a step forward in performance from the factory the R35 is, by comparing it to well regarded and tuned examples of former models

I've watched the DVD and at the end tsuchiya makes the remark that the r35 was faster in the corners, just the long straight was what kept the tuned cars in front

Best Motoring GTR Loaded DVD.

I got it and watched that race and it was nuts.

R32 GTR 400PS

R33 GTR 600PS (2.8lt stroker kit)

R34 GTR 600PS

R35 GTR Stock

At first I thought it was abit unfair to the R35 as all the other GTR's were tuned, but judging from the finish times, it came 3rd and the times were very close, all within a difference of seconds.

As for the R32 GTR, with only having 400PS, it still kept up very well and kept the race tight.

As keiichi Tsuchiya was saying, the tyres were starting to wear down and was slipping / lossing traction, which I believe due to the weight of the car and every setting set to R Mode, it gave the car a good thrashing.

Just goes to show how a stock R35 GTR can stand its ground up against highly tuned GTR's and only afew seconds slower is very impressive.

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
