Having recently had a fair 'time trial' with a 5.0 Chimera, my car was a bit faster everywhere, and much faster at high speed sweepers (120+).
And this car gets all this praise, and GTS-T's are looked down on?
Most of you are very peculiar indeed.

Tuning is the cheapest way to make your car go faster.

Nice car Ged, now that's a proper car to go sideways sometimes

Just because something is more of a driving experience doesn't necessarily mean its faster.
Jump in a 60s Ferrari and I guarantee you it will be one hell of an experience for example

Well as I owned a GTR for 5 years, it's the only comparison I am going to give!!

And considering it's a standard car, it will wipe the arse with a standard Skyline!! Christ, my GTR had 530bhp, the Cerb has about 350bhp, but it doesn't feel alot slower!! This is a 180mph car out of the box, but to be honest, I don't give a flying **** as I seem to be spending my time pootling around enjoying the pops and bangs Something the GTR very rarely did!!!

Do you mean the thing revs higher than 3k!! Haven't bothered going any higher as it sounds like all hell breaking loose when lifting off

Good news mate. I did wonder what you were going to be doing tunnel runs in. Looks like you found just the thing!

Most of us with GTRs just view GTSTs as different, not inferior.

I'm a complete novice and have to trust the technical wizardry of the GTR to keep me from losing it, but when I get a bit better I look forward to having a track day in a GTST - only problem is that the only person I know with a GTST is SPEED MERCHANT and I don't think he'll let me have a go in his, especially after this post

Still, we're all inferior now since the release of the R35 -so you can stop your whinging (well, some on here aren't yet, but will be when R35s start appearing with 1000HP+ - then all we'll have is our looks - oh, and of course "rear passengers" )

Jesus Christ, why do you constantly whine on about your gts-t?, you are the one with the inferiority complex, I had almost 400hp in mine, and, got rid of it for a Galant VR4, which spanked its arse in every aspect with only exhaust and intake.

Love the Cerbera, beautiful car with an exhaust note that is unmatched congrats

Looks wonderful Ged, I wondered how long it would be before you got one - fantastic tunnel car as well

I loved my TVR and it did not miss a beat when I had it.

That was a pub 'nearly 400bhp' then if a Galant VR4 was so much better...lol.

Can't do an edit so new post...
I remember you now, you had the valve-body kit on your autobox...
And you never broke it!
So less then 350bhp then. Fact.
Shame you never got more from it, I see your problem now.
