^ waiting on Terry to confirm...

 

id be stoked if he could.. did he ever announce his final dyno numbers?

 

Not sure.... All I know is that I heard he pulls effin hard... Hopefully he chimes back in here...

 

oh my... thats a sick setup. i want to do mine too!~

 

God bless you both, I must say I was in your boat... 10 years ago.

 

Not sure how the 911 story came about, but I can assure you guys that it never happened.

I can only verify that a pull from a 60 mph roll, all three passengers in my car at the time were pinned to their seats. I used the paddles to go from 5th to 3rd leaving the VDC on. I'm pretty sure I would have spun the tires with the VDC off. No vb upgrade yet at the time either. It pulls very hard, but I didn't have another car with me to judge against.

WHp on my HR is just shy of 470 which is far less that 500+ the VHR seems to be getting. GTM has had my car for almost another month since I had it so no new "comparisons" yet.

 

I wish I could confirm, but the 11 sec club is hard to join. I'd love to try at least once (maybe twice?) to get a time slip in street trim. Setting the car up for drag seems to me like cheating.

 

I would think that a sick boosted G37X would hang right in there with the GTR.

 

In my opinion, the power is there. The problem is hooking it up. Not sure how strong the X tranny is either.

 

Does the G37X have a true ATTESA system?

 

i doubt it.. ^

 

I appreciate your concern, but I'm all too familiar with the sums of money it takes to complete a project.

Not only do I own an 08 g37s, but I also own an 03 350z that I've managed to dump about $70,000 (not including the price of the car) into to make a complete project (suspension mods, stop techs, volks, body kit, 1/2 shafts, carbonetics triple disc clutch, carbonetics carbon differential, greddy twins, dual 3 inch exhaust with WG dumps, return fuel system, 1000cc injectors, HKS F-Con V-pro with the bells and wistles, and a fully built darton mid sleeved motor with a lot of head work and cams, etc., etc.) Motor has been out of the car 3 times now.

Sharif did the last build and tune on my Z and did a great job. Forged will be the only shop on the east coast that touches my Z or G.

 

First off - Very nice build, coming from a guy with lots of 800hp modified experience, and a lover of subtle sleepers.

Secondly, to all the BS about the GTR... a TRUE sports car (such as the GTR) has many systems in place that make it a true sports car. The brakes, suspension, chassis, engine, tranny, electronics mgmt, aerodynamics, etc.

The G37 is a great car, and has a lot of sporting potential. But there is a major problem, no matter how much power you throw at it. It is (in most trim) a RWD car. And when you start getting into the 400hp+ club, only having 2 drive wheels starts to limit you. Yes, there is the "X" version... and it would be fast as hell in a straight line with TT. But still, the suspension mods, wheels, tires, tranny mods, brakes, etc... can get pretty expensive in order to turn it into a true sports car for track duty. If you want to go fast in a straight line from a high roll, no problem. But to think a modified TT G37 can hang with a GTR at a track day shows both one's ignorance and lack of experience.

It's a lot more than just power... you could put $40K into a G37 and there's still a good chance it would have a hard time keeping up with a GTR around a track. There's just something about the way a well-built sports car "feels"... the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts, because it was engineered from the beginning to be a sports car, with considerations for chassis flex, weight distribution, center of gravity, etc.

Go drive a 800hp 2wd car on a daily basis that can spin the 325 width rear tires at 100 mph... and you will then begin the path to enlightenment.

 

the facts about the GTR were strictly in straight line performance ^

 

im sorry but you guys are seriously losing it. the G37 could have 600hp and it still wouldnt be in the same universe as the GT-R.

the gt-r out corners pretty much anything money can buy. the gt-r is an exotic killer

the TT G37 is sick but being compared to a GT-R. no sir, please put the pipes down and step away
