Good thread going on NAGTROC about the recent Fifth Gear shoot out. Here is a video that gives a behind scenes color on what Senna really thought about the two cars. Sounds like he preffers the Porsche for street driving regardless of track results.
More behind the scenes photos from last week’s Head to Head video shoot. I can’t tell you how badly I’m looking forward to this new saeson….since the Silver GT-R is mine 🙂
Well, as you know we had a great time at Willow Springs with Torque.tv shooting the new season of Head to Head. Look for that on StreetFire in a few weeks. Between the action, Miss Torque took a break from her flag waving duties and checked out the new StreetFire GT-R, photo snapping ensued, and the gallery below is what we have to show. Enjoy!
MC performance ran a RWD dyno of their brand new GT-R with less than 500 miles on the odometer and (worse) 91 Octane Gas. On a cold start, Godzilla hit 447hp at the rear wheels with the front driveshaft removed. I would assume that disconnecting the front wheels would give you some more power to the rear, but I’m very surprised the computer didn’t have a problem with this. Each successive run gets slower as (I assume) the car heats up, with a third run hitting 427hp at the rear wheels. Cool video though.Found via 2009gtr.blogspot.com
