Great runs! Your car is an animal. Seems like your shifting at/above 9K?

Wow, nicely done!

EDIT: How are you not spinning with 600 rwhp? I'm amazed how smooth the power delivery is.

i just ordered hoosier tires to put the 40psi to the ground and hopefully hook on my 700whp map. going to run a fully modded gsxr 1000 that runs 9.20s at 150. also there is supposed to be an alpha 12 gtr being built for next year so we will see lol. if it really is an alpha 12 it should beat me .

BEAST!

Looks like you weren't expecting the beep on the 302 race, and that you were about 1/4 of car ahead of the cobra on that particular race. Not like it matters, since you walked them both

You're gonna be fighting traction and that GTR's AWD/ crazy drivetrain. If your gears are long enough, @ over 700whp your top speed on paper should be competitive with his. I think it will be an interesting race after 150 mph but probably not much road soon after that. The FD has amazing top end and power to weight ratio.
