The R35 drivers says "its nothing", but to pull away like that - at 230-240km/h - phenomenal.

Also don't forget the Lambo ain't DSG :)

Plus the Lambo will forever sound awesome.

I agree, and I'd take the Lambo just for the sound...

FYI for those that are interested, looks like the GTR was making aroun 800rwhp:

"While Oleg's car does indeed have our ALPHA 12 turbo kit and some of our bolt ons the engine in the car is not an AMS one. It's actually an engine that Oleg himself built as a temporary solution as his previous motor (also not an AMS one) had been damaged. Oleg's car has a simple 3.8L engine in it with 100% stock cylinder heads and cams. Chris did indeed tune Oleg's car when he was down there and he said its making somewhere in the neighborhood of 800whp.Due to the 3.8 and stock heads were were limited on how much power we could make and to what RPM level we could spin the engine to.

Yes Yuri's blue car is much faster but i'm impressed with what Oleg's car is doing. Keep it up!!"

why do I get the impression the guy in the GTR can't drive...

and yes agreed, Lambo FTW!

The fact he felt it necessary to push on the steering wheel through the firewall everytime he floored it?

That's what gave me the impression.

Anyone want to join this cruise???

Stephan Winkelmann told a Service Manager to tell Yours Truly to get out of the Service Area whilst I walked past and into the Museum in '06 (the year after he started as CEO) - lol

I got footage of it though...

+ a Soundtrack of a Diablo fanging it around a track (echoing inside the Museum)

+ all the Yummies on show > made my day!

PS I have it on minidisc > don't know how to upload it to here if it's possible.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
