I just got this link from the Skyline Mailing list....

http://www.exvitermini.com/

Check out the GTR-700. Especially the videos. This car just ran a pass of 8.96@160 mph in the 1/4. It is a streetable car. The car reportedly makes (estimated) over 1 MW of power to the ground (that's 1340 hp). It's running 4 bars of boost (59 psi). So yeah......nutty. That's about all I can begin to say to describe it. And I like the way it looks nearly stock on the outside, except for the drag parachute and fin.

And its privately owned. The video of it launching is like a year old, but can only be described as scary.

On the latest update, they posted a 8.x @ 160mph. Still NOT a full power run either.

Wonder what that guy does for a living. I want a job like that so I can sink tons of $$ into a Skyline :D

Also, if you guys haven't seen, they added some videos today. They got videos now of the new 8 second passes. The car is pulling 1.35 60' times.

I've talked in length with Mario, he's the owner. He's pretty much one of the smartest mechanics that I know. We talked about physics and such. Things I wanted to know about taking the motor to such high rpms.

I'm going to place bets on Mario having the record over Veilside here soon.
