When adding big power for street cars/roll cars....I dunno why people put steeper gears in they're cars.

PDV's GT-R probably does low 6 to high 5 0-130's. I know he traps 137mph in the 1/4.

I love these new GT500s but it seems to be the same story as the previous GT500s need a lot more power than other cars to run with them

The GTR's driver in this vid is a typical ricer; always gets the it and always go on 2 or 2.5 count. I hate plp like that. The last run was the only good run. Nonethe less, fast cars..

The 13' GT500's are 300+lbs heavier than 03/04's.

i think its pretty clear that the gt500 shifted into an OD gear. There was literally 0 pull then out of no where, it just walked by. But regardless..a z06 never needs even close to the same HP as its competitors. And NA power VS Supercharged power... there never equal

300lbs doesn't make up for 70+ish more rwhp than the previous terminator.. And this car has 10years more... I'm going to ask svtperformance finest on there thread..
