I hope you are wrong as well dude.

It would be fantastic if Jeff could do a 9

It will be good points for the team if a few of us do 9's.

Havn't heard from Jeff but I have heard from Gary at GT art who has been working hard on the car for the last 2 weeks and we've had a great report from him.

The power measured at the wheels on pump gas at very low boost is actually higher than we masured here which is nice and it more than validates our hp readings compared to UK tuners, he got 661hp @ wheels at 1.2 bar on 98 pump gas.

With alot of wheelspin we measured just on 1000whp in 4wd with more boost and C16 fuel so I'm sure it will measure more than that on Gary's dyno if he can hold it and get traction.

Gary has driven the car, the new OS88 box is great he says and everything is doing exactly what it should so I can now sleep at night, lol.

Best of luck to Jeff and the rest of the team, and thank you very much Gary for putting in the effort to make sure the car was ready

Now, Team GTR, go and kick some ass,

Rob

Ludders · 25th July 2008, 11:16 PM

I just got home from collecting the car from Gary at GTaRt.

You have to see it to believe how good it looks and sounds. What an awsome machine!!

Thank you Gary for looking after my car and preparing it for TOTB while I was out of the country and thank you Rob and the team at R.I.P.S for producing one of the world's unique GTRs.

Jeff.

ps. Keep your eye on my signature below and see it change!!!

LOL nice work! If there are any doubters left, then maybe this should give them a hint that fast cars from NZ aren't all about inflated dyno figures and down hill drag strips
