Orlando Speedworld had what was mostly a GT-R event today. It was advertised for "exotics", but probably 80% of the cars were GT-R's.
Although the weather was crappy, I took my TT over for a few passes.
By "crappy" weather, I mean this:


I tech'd in and let the car sit for probably 20-minutes, then made a few passes. This was my first pass:


The car 60-footed incredibly hard for a stock car on stock tires. It dead hooked and honestly, I was briefly a bit light headed, lol. I've got cars on slicks that don't cut a short time like that. I hot-lapped the car, and on the 2nd pass, it spun enough to drop to a 1.62 60' and went 11.06 at 124.10. I ran two more passes an hour or so later, but by this point the track was getting hotter and greasy and it spun pretty badly so I decided to call it a day. Incidentally, I had a vbox in the car for all runs. This is the 0-60 on the first pass:


All of the other passes were over 3-seconds, so clearly the track was going away with the afternoon sun (it ended up storming around 1:30-2).




Very impressive for a bone stock car, and in good air this fall/winter down here in Orlando it should run ~10.6's in the 126 mph range.

Wow, Snorman. That's amazing. Imagine November at Atco! I can't wait.

That is a great run and excellent 60 time.Do do turn your traction control off when running the quarter?It pulls power and it is good for a couple tens with it off,bet you did with a time that good. Is your car a Turbo S or Turbo ???If,Turbo,that is the fastest I seen one go.Esp in the heat..

Good Job...

Nice.

Wow!!
Curious what stock GT-R's were running that day?

Snorman

Car is not an S and I didn't turn of TC. Stock GT-R's are hard to find, but there was what appeared to be a stock DBA car there running 11.4-11.5's at 119-120 mph. That's about right, as in the summer at OSW, my '12 Black Edition went a best of 11.4 at 122 mph. But in air like yesterday, would likely not have trapped better than 120-121.

These cars just impress the hell out of me! What did your gmeter read after that pull?

NVRANUF

Would Luskville be in someone's future?

zedosix

I think it could be arranged! I haven't been there since I had my 83 mustang, I remember running 13's in it and was very impressed at the time.
Maybe someone could be running next to me, I think it would be cool to see the outcome.

Snorman

Not sure, I didn't look at it.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much. I had close to 3/4 of a tank of fuel and knowing how hot and crappy it was, figured maybe low-11's. When I saw the 1.50 on the board on my way down the track, I was like

You did great,with quarter tank of gas,TC Off and cold air 10.60s easy...
These cars are brutal from the dig with AWD,LC,Violent Shifting PDK,all when the turbos are at full boost....Perfect Combo...
I will attempt a 10.50s run when it gets cool out..10.60/70s so far in the TS...

08viper1

By the by,that 1.50 time is outstanding....Did you mess with the air pressure or leave it reg ???

Snorman

Nope. Didn't touch anything. Just as I drive it around on the street...partial load/comfort setting tire pressures and all.
I agree that it'll run a few tenths quicker.
