    i didn't know those GT-Rs were so fast out of the box! Yikes! But I guess for ~$100k OTD it'd better be...

    Nothing like watching somebody pull away from you at over 130mph!

    Seeing that GTR pull away at over 130mph is incredible. I was sitting in the first esses and that STi was all over the GTR through there. The STi sounded sweet :drool:

    At 340 wheel that STi is seriously outgunned on the straights.

    I'd like to see the Crawford STi chasing the GTR.

    http://www.crawfordperformance.com/videos/browse

    Look under "guest drivers" then "tanner faust". Ridiculous. Watch the whole thing and some of his saves. He's so good. There are a couple other vids around of him in Crawford cars.

    the GT-R took some weird lines..

    I'd like to see the Crawford STI with a good driver and the GT-R with a good driver duke it out..

    you can blame that on the RE-070's getting greasy....they might as well have been RE-92's!

    something was not right with that STI or the speedo for sure, I get over 110 on TGP and R-ATL has alot more room.
    I did not see him get over 125

    With 430whp I can barely hit 145mph on the back straight. At around 130mph our crap aero seriously kills acceleration.

    480whp (and getting out of 7 with CO's and race tires) gets you 160mph on GPS on RA :D

    i liked the vid, but it would have been better if there was a better driver in the gtr.

    Stock brakes with XP12 front and XP10 rear pads would do it quite well. The Stoptech 332mm with XP16 front and XP12 rear did it no problem. I have NOT seen anybody try it with the Wilwoods...

    it would've been cool, but then the gtr wouldn't have been "in frame" very much ;)
