Hey People
Just came back from a Drag meet in Auckland today.
The GTR did a 8.75 @ 150+MPH on its first pass of the day then 9.1, 8.9 etc, its a sweet car, carbon fibre everywhere, huge turbo, leaves at 9000RPM, Motec M800, Holinger 6 speed sequential, ET streets all round.
The EVO lancer did a 9.84 @ 140MPH, it is a 'street car', std diffs, gearbox, 600+HP engine (2L), M & H racemaster tyres etc.
There is also a Honda Integra here that does 10.1, he was hoping for a 9 today, but he **** his gearbox on the first run.
I have pics if anyone wants to see them.......
Yeah, well done to Reece McGregor in his GTR, for the low quarter times.
I bet Mario isnt happy now but, with Reece bettering his time, makes him the quickest in the southern hemisphere.
Although Mario has plenty of reserve i reckon

HSVSUX runs around the circuit mainly, but done a 12.2 @118 / 2.1 60FT ops:
hope to do a low 11 with my new GT35 going on soon.
mcGregors car is not all that loud, but the launch control rev limit at 9000 sounds awesome, moves around heaps at half to full track.

Here is a pic of the car, its not a recent shot. I think it was about a year ago. http://www.dragpixs.co.nz/tech/viewer.html?../profiles/r_mcgregor/mm244.jpg
WHT11 :
$2100 NZD + GST
It is the same turbo that is on Matt's car (PSI-O3L)
The GT35 and GT40 are the same but the GT40 has a slightly bigger compressor I believe.
They are both T3 flange size, so I have to change the flange on my Nizpro extractors.
Darkstar :
Around here ???
I have never seen an Auto used in a GTR over here.

Okays stupid question, but as mentioned above all the top GTRs are using manual transmission and pulling good times, yet when it comes to other vehicles(specifically RAJAB ect ect) the preference is always auto transmission to get 'good' times.Does the GTR have alot more better traction off the line than most other vehicles? You'd think that everyone would follow suite with an auto transmission if its going to improve their time?
Prolly a very simple answer to this ops:

mario is the owner of gtr700 , check it all out on the exvitermini. com website. its got some mad movies and a full rundown of specs etc for a few major cars.
Interesting to see both NZ cars run big single turbo's??
while most stick with big twins, the HKS has twins, and so does mario's gtr,
Also if you read mario's site it says he didnt run any wastegates at all, on his runs, basically whatever the turbo's could provide the motor got 8O
GTR's are 4wd that's why they run holinger 6 speeds. Oh they also cost $18,000 then you have to buy the clutch!! 8O The reason why the Vl's run 2 speeds is they are a reasonable price, easy to fix, plenty of parts readiably avaliable. JETVL is putting in an airshifted manual behind his lightweight VLT. Look forward to seeing that run.
yeah mat has a gt series turbo...and runs low 11s...hmmm i managed to run 10s on two standard baby t28s...i want credit too...lol..joking...good work to all the cars mentioned above.
