Thought I might be fighting above my weight class

Found a video of the GT-R you ran vs you:

I'm not doubting your words but how many times did you guys run because that looks like a 40-140 and he got you.

On one of the runs on the freeway we started at 60 and as the road was clear I stayed in it till over 170 MPH.
I usually lift at 120-130 when it's clear who is winning.

Yeah, that was my second to last run of the day, and was down to about 3 pounds of nitrous. It was noticeably slower than earlier runs. Every other roll race with him I won. Hopefully, we'll get those runs on a Vid.

I assume you mean whp or awhp. If he dynoed 700rwhp with the driveshaft removed, you need to bump that number down some with the additional drivetrain power loss going to all wheel drive.
First, there are no P900 turbos there are only v1 (P800) and v2 (R900 and E900)... after that the turbos get bigger with a different manifold (R1K, R1KX). The V2 turbos found in the R900 ("R" for Race gas) often produce less power on a 93 octane map than the V1 P800 turbos on 93 octane. So even if this guy has the v2 turbos, he still probably isn't making 700awhp and it is laggier than it needs to be. I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but the turbos are sized for a particular application. This is why Switzer is so strict only selling "complete packages" not single parts.
Second, as far as I know Switzer doesn't mix and match parts from different packages. They aren't going to put the v2 turbos that are meant for a built engine on an otherwise P800 built car. Maybe there was some sort of miscommunication between you and the P800 owner. OR maybe Switzer made an exception for him.

Yea, what's up with that? This is a GM forum, everything else can 
I was just asking questions, trying to understand the facts behind the story. As far as I know GTRs are the fastest cars on the road. This thread caught me by surprise so my first instinct was to call BS. But I saw a video of the Z06 pulling the GTR so its all good.

Actually, FROM A ROLL I lost twice. Once against the GTR (with two different views of the same race), and one against the Ford GT. My last two races of the day, with my nitrous bottle almost empty, not hitting nearly as hard as it did earlier. Take a look at the above freeway race for how hard it hit earlier.

Hey buddy not hating, I use to own a c6z. And my buddies have them also and they run pretty good modded. One is same mods as op with 150shot trapped 145mph. And p800 kit isn't 100k build. More like 18k

Just saying it's very believable that a 3300lbs 680rwhp car beat a 700awhp 4000lbs car. Not sure why everyone is freaking out.

As for money, I've got about 70K total in mine, car and mods. The GTR is a 2013 Black edition with the Switzer mods, considerably more cashola then mine.
