Default Way to ring in the New Year

Hell of a way to start a New Year. I know this isn't a kill story but who cares. I wake up and have to take my GF to work (she is a Nurse) Wake up after realizing we are an hour late to her job from New Year's eve shenanigans. She tells me to take the fast car so I start up the GT-R, warm it up and take it on the autobahn. At the time of the run I was on 98RON with controls at - C - on the three switches. Mods are in my sig.

Amongst the shaking you can see the gas gauge decrease at a steady rate

202 is very respectable, wish my ride could reach those speeds. What part of Germany? I use to be stationed in Kitzigen, Autobahn is sweet!!! only time i would hit 150+ would be in rental cars used for traveling.

Wish i had the trans am then...

My mini van might be able to do that, but I'd need to find a very tall cliff to push it over :-)

Nice run, well done. Make wifey buy gas now

Very nice. Wish there were more places over here to open up a car every once in a while without having to go to a track.

Impressive that those few of mods are worth ~10mph top speed - takes a lot of power to raise the top speed by that much. How much more boost does your tune add?

Nice, I loved driving to Germany for the weekend with my Cobra when I was living in The Netherlands. I had a few +180mph runs but never had the room to really push it to the limit. Good times and great place to race some exotics that don't expect a little surprise called a Whipple!







On a sidenote it is interesting how similar the lines of the R35 GTR and 03-04 Cobra's are.
