Scott Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 You gotta remember though, the GTR is 'only' 55k ish and under 500bhp... I still think its bloody impressive. According to the manufacturer that is. Pretty sure there is a lot of debate on the actual power produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 George (aka Kermit because his Supra is bright green (and black)) - his son shares the car and has done a 7:5X (7:54 I think). That is a 500bhp single. Video's and times for that were on http://www.bridgetogantry.com/ I believe, but it's telling me I need to login now since the site changes.

I think that might be because he was handed an asbo over there and banned for a weekend for posting videos up on youtube. I could be wrong but I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Bobbeh Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 About the same price if you live in the usa $105,000, shame we get stung on import duty:( Yeah, but we get stung on both, the GTR is 30k in Japan right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Why do people say that? It's shorter than a Supra and only about 7 inches wider. Hardly enormous! I test drove a C5 a year ago or so and it just seemed so much bigger than my Supe did. Being sat at the other side of the cabin probably didn't help. I didn't know it was only a little larger than a 911, my old 993 seemed much smaller. Steering felt fairly vague too, although maybe it was just a bad one. It was enough to put me off. Sounded amazing though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 :search:I'm confused. George loves the Nurburgring even more than me, and goes over there half a dozen times a year. Recently, when they got there, they told him he was banned for the weekend for posting videos up online - and took the decision that he wasn't going to do it again. So I'm not spreading the word about the videos that are already up there, just in case it's one that the 'Ring authorities haven't seen and I end up leading them to it and getting George into more hot water.

Ark Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I was there!! I missed the private session while they did that lap - it was stupidly early in the morning. It must have been a huge deal with all the Corvette owners, because there were a load of owners clubs there from all over the place - at least 8 in our hotel from Finland, with everything from 60s stingrays onwards. Oh, and I did a sedate 10:17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RSjonny Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I believe AJI's best time to be 8.23 round the 'Ring. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
