My GTR - the ongoing story...

ASDA On Your Marks this weekend just passed and what an awesome event. Lovely weather, lovely cars, great people and some many fans of the GTR! Many of whom have only every been up to 70MPH :) What a surprise for them when the GTR passes 70 in 3rd gear, before we even hit the first corner, which is flat out in 4th gear so was exiting the corner at 110-118MPH :)

 

For ages a friend has been telling me to take his R33 (sprint car, stripped, caged, ohlins suspension, ap brakes, 700+hp) out and it always had minor issues (like misisng 3rd gear, missing 4th gear, then he killed the block, then the head, etc), but I finally got a chance to drive it. what a different animal altogether!! Absolutely loved the mental machine!!! Single turbo, no power below 5k rpm, but when the turbo spools WOW!!!! The big difference for me was the handling..... it was just sublime and really showed off the weight and handling difference between the 2 GTRs. Took a few passengers out in it and we were all just giggling like little girls the whole way round .....
