How To Upset All The Bathurst Bogans

[mad082]

on a normal track the sprint tyres are about 2 seconds faster than the normal tyres. on a track like bathurst they would be even faster.

wow... I think I will vacate this topic.

Just relax a little. Its not like Im saying v8 supercars are slow. Shit they are fast, instant power, sound amazing.

Thanks for that pic zebra. Wicked . hey fan boys can dream.

No you can proceed to bite my head off mad082.

Its nothing against you personally,

But its rather annoying when the fanboi's get together and with no real knowledge on the subject come on and say their favorite car, whether it is a GTR/EVO/Commodore etc, that it would be faster than some other car if they change a million things.

GTR fanboi's seem to be the worst there is, they still live in 1992 and think the supercars are slow, despite the fact that the Supercars were quicker from 1994, yep, and in their 1st year on running (93) they were only about .5sec slower than the Gp.A R32 GTRs quickest time.

[Hadouken]

This is true. Don't worry I stated that it would be close. Never said their slow . I know how quick they are.

It's just a sensitive subject I suppose. All I really want is to see them race, even though they are in a different category, can you just imagine the race? No matter of oh this is going to be 2 sec slower than that, and rah rah, I like my Motorsport and would be great to watch. Just like the lemans races, or the gp

hahah Well good news for you, R35 GT3 set to run the the GT championship in Aus next year, so keep an eye out for the GT races on One HD

this. some of them even say "if the GTR was allowed to race in the v8 supercars it would flog them all like it did in the group A days". sorry boys, it wouldn't, because for it to run it would have to be running a 5.0L v8, and only rwd. so like the current V8 supercars, it would just be a generic racecar with a GTR shell (which would have to be cut and shut to make it the right size). the GTR isn't smashing all the other cars out of the water in the JGTCC classes because in those it's not running AWD and is running a v8, like all the other cars.

hahah

I wont mention the fact the the 2L sierra was still faster in a straight line than the 2.6L twin turbo GTR's...even when the Nissans were running huge boost in 91

[mad082]

LOL, yeah those sierra's were the bomb. they also had different regulations due to being in a lower category. for example they had to run skinnier tyres. they could only run a 9" wide tyre, while the GTR could run 11" wide tyres. power output i don't think the sierra was too much lower than the GTR. they were putting out about 650hp. had they been able to run 11" wide tyres i think the GTR probably wouldn't have been as dominant.

[zebra]

you would never fit an 11" rim under a sierra anyway lol

[mad082]

even a 10" tyre would've been of benefit.

[zebra]

yeah true.

the pommy ones ran on the standard wheels
