The car in the link below did and 8.69 @ 159Mph a few days ago. its the 2nd GTR here to do an 8 sec pass. http://www.croydons.co.nz/godzilla.htm The site hasnt been updated in a while.

hmmmm makes Mario car not look so special now .... :|

Mind you, there is still alot to come from Mario's car yet. Its really only been out twice. Quote from his site "The 8 second passes that were done late last year were with only two thirds of the power available - and we still had wheel spin in every gear - with Andrej was fighting it to keep it in a straight line." Apparently he is aiming to run it again in around 2-3weeks time. This time with the Airshifted box plus other minor mods. Cant wait.... Mick

ahhh ..... thats awesome!!!! is Mario doing up the R34 as well or is that his daily hack?

His R34 (WARIO) is his daily ride. It has around 250kw at all 4 wheels. Claims it would do a low 12 sec pass. But has not run it, and has no intention on running it. Mick

hey, would those gtrs be manual or auto? you'd think auto yeah. if not doing 8's in a manual. is that possible?

Nah mate, no Auto box. He had to use a Holinger H6S Manual box at the time, it wasnt his, so he had to run conserative boost and revs to avoid any damage to it There is speculation that his car may have even more power than the HKS car, from what ive seen it may not be far from the truth. Mick Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

***, go the IMPORTS. so an auto would even go quicker again. i had a look at the stats. that gtr weights like 1250kg's. they are normally 1500 kg's. must have gibre glass or lite weight panels. still awesome effort in a manual too. but some people have got too much money to spend.
