5 FRS = 1 GT3 RS, that makes them alot of fun, and disposable.

Have tons of footage for the next Eccentric video, just need more time....

[QUOTE=TRAKCAR;9835156]You know, this is my one day I will own a GT2RS fantasy. Theoretically it would be white.



I'm told by evil spirits that a GT2RS can be tuned to minimal lag but can kill scuds.. And they are selling for 60k off....

to Minimize the lag and keep the car in the boost in the slow corners,
turn SC off. If you turn SC and TC off cause you think you are good enough, then you end up doing multiple donuts in the grass, and have a car covered in mud. Not sure why I know that.

Ofcourse, these type of incidents you want to keep a secret from your wife, so what is the first thing your best buddy does when he see's your wife.......
When told with a British Accent, fortunately does not sound as bad.

thanks for vid esh, the gt2 is the quickest of the three and really stretches its legs after 215km/h. the scud is a touch quicker than the 3.8 rs. all races started in 1st gear.

cheers.

I doubt that, maybe i was a little harsh on my driver comment..
Apart from my personal experiance with both a 7GT2 and 7GT3.2 which beleive it or not is faster than the 3.8 RS in real life due to less gear changes when accelerating , RS changes gear falls back ... GT3.2 still in gear and accelerating...

Stock GT2 clocks 128- 129 Mph 1/4 @ low 11s GT3RS 3.8 clocks 119-120's @ low 12's almost a second diffrence and around 10 - 9Mph lower than the 7GT2 which is a significant diffrence...

GT2 was out of its powerband or i should call it "boost band" which is at 4k + 150lbs off stock weight plays a significant role

Scud no doubt is quicker than the RS on paper and from my personal experiance.

Same cars, 3 tests 3 completely different results in a low speed drag race, doesn't say much.

GT2 only significantly pulls away from the 3.8(runs away dramtically actually!) from 215ish and up. the scud creeps way consistently from the 3.8
part of the reason the 3.8 can hang with the gt2 upto and around 200km/h is the shorter gearing. anyways, it was good fun, the 3.8 rs is my keeper and the gt2 is on its way to a new home.
