The world's fastest and quickest R35 just ran a quarter mile in 7.894 seconds at 186.14mph.

It took this long? All that extra displacement, all that whizbang high tech stuff and all it can manage is a high seven? What to you think about that R32?

Oh, daym that was cold. R32 says it was going faster than that seven years ago and next run try XX up OO down down and select for special boost. :chuckle:

Full disclosure: I hate this thing so I'm not objective. It's never going to impress me no matter what it does. I'd trade it straight across for a ten second 32. That being said, regardless of how a car gets there, seven seconds is frigging ridiculous and gets respect. :bigthumb:

And now I'm thinking about the Power Tour. Where the cars run these kind of times and can't use a trailer.

Doesn't AMS keep full interior on all their cars?

I remember when Ivan was on here, talking about 240s and KA-Ts. Oh how times have changed :)

Yep - That car is 100% streetable. No weight reduction or any of that gheyness... Just mad boost and serious traction.
