Did you tell the GTR it wasn't fair because he had AWD and more power ?

LoL

I feel ya man. They just allowed us having our driver/passenger windows tinted to 35% a few years back.

No ***** are given about car mods in FL. I daily drove 5% tint, catless true duals dumped before axle, loping H/C setup, and DRs for two years and never was stopped even once.

Basically wipers and lights=street legal.

Yeah, I noticed that later also. There was another error in that piece of the video as it says I have ‘heads’. I still have the stock 241s. Interesting enough, the name of our track is BMP… Bradenton Motorsports Park

Yes, Victor’s car runs strong for sure. He didn’t have the boost turned up on that pass either, thus he was ‘only’ making 820 hp. He’s about to take the car down in February and when it’s back together he’s hoping to put down 1400 hp. Yikes!

Pretty much dead on. Lol My tint on all 3 cars I own are 5%. I have catless true duals, loping cam, and I drive around on DRs and skinny’s.

Beautiful TA and great video. Nothing wrong in an honest race with no excuses. I still don't like GTR's for some reason, even with all the power.

Probably due to the fact that it's the most square, average looking super car of all time. Fast for sure, but it doesn't carry Italia 570, 911, or heck even Corvette type body lines!

That's an opinion not a fact.

Here in Oklahoma it doesn't matter what you have done to the car.
Just needs functional lights and your good to go.

LOL..No cats for two years in NC and passed each time. Maybe buying his moonshine had a little to do with it though. Some good stuff!

I run an open X pipe with no issue.
I've never had cats on my car and I've owned it for 3 years.
Plus we don't have emissions crap.

Okay...I am all about American sports cars...I have never owned anything else. BUT...some of you are bashing the GTR and calling it a POS, overpriced, etc. Well, I invite any of you who said that to go drive one and get to know the car. There is a reason it costs what it does. Just like the C6Z carbon, just like the Viper, and just like the ZL1.

OP, that was a great run and your car is badass! You did really good considering the power differences!
