Revs are instant because it is geared ridiculously short....so much so that its top speed is only 230-240km/h

As a guess I would say ~2:20 due to sitting on the limiter for most of conrod

The Gibson Car had a best of 2:12

Mark Berry's R34 did a 2:13 with big aero and 700+hp and a hollinger

+1 stock, and it's sets a close pace to the fastest lap.

Imagine the potential when tuned and lightened!

Omg make it happen. Haha

and imagine the potential of a v8 supercar if they were lightened and didn't have strict regulations regarding, well, everything. with the soft compound/sprint tyres they use and even small changes to the regulations the v8 supercars would be doing sub 2 minute laps.

no you cant make those changes due to motorsport having a huge impact on the environment. *cough*

thats why F1 is thinking of going turbo charged.

Besides you sound like a hater. I still believe that with GTR tuned and having all the same goodies as a v8 supercar, ie, no back seats, racing suspension, tyres, brakes, perspex windows and the list goes on........ it will stand a good chance of showing them who their daddy is!

you can't compare a car that can be tuned to unlimited specs to a car that has to be tuned to very strict regulations. hell the v8 supercars have quite a bit of ballast strategically placed around the car because without it they would be under the 1355kg minimum weight regulation. it is a pointless comparison. i'm sure there are plenty of privately owned, non race spec commodores and falcons out there that would give v8 supercars a run for their money. hell if someone bought a v8 supercar, bumped up the rev limit by 1000rpm, took the balast out, put on some different tyres and went back to running premium unleaded fuel (or even a race fuel) and tuned the engine up to the way they were before the rules regarding engine life (how many engines they could use in a season, etc), then you would have cars that would make teams like 888, HRT and FPR look like privateers at their first race meeting.

and no i'm not a hater, i'm a realist. any racing category has strict regulations. this is why lap records don't get smashed every year, and why some f1 lap records are nearly 10 years old. technology improves, but they generally don't make the cars much faster, just more reliable. comparing cars from different categories, or a privately modified race car with a categorized race car is just plain stupid. you also can't compare the budget of a race car with a privately modified car because the majority of the race car budget is spent trying to get the most out of what they have to work with.

You mean like this?

will be about 1.5-2 secs a lap slower around the mountain.

fanboi's always underestimate how quick the supercars are

put the sprint tyres on the supercar and you can make that 4 to 5 seconds slower
