probably?

psshhh

One of the five million computers on the Nissan calculated that the probability of the Honda winning was 1 in a trillion, not worth risking warranty, and consequently shut the engine off.

true

Speaking of warranties, neither of those cars has one now.

it would be nice if we could call it

ITR
vs
GTR

battle of the aRRRRs!!!!

lmfao. Actually, I'm sure ppl who are thinking, "who cares how much faster the gtr is, If it's bracket racing, it doesn't matter!" But then, just in terms of consistency in a straight line hard launch, you probably couldn't do much better than a gtr, right? turbo, 4wd, launch control, dsg, traction and stability control as well as yaw sensors... basically the gtr has all the newest tech to compensate for driver error in this sort of task. The turbo compensates for any atmospheric deviation from track to track, so you're best run at low altitude is less likely to be off if you go to a high altitude track for the first time, the 4wd compensates for all the variables affecting tire wear, surface grip, and standing start wheelspin, as well as providing for a solid launch every time, the launch control ensures you're dialing up the same revs every time and eliminates the possibility of an occasional misjudging of clutch engagement, the dsg gives instantaneous shifts without upsetting the chassis and causing pitch-induced unloading of the driven tires, and even if it did, the clever 4wd would just redirect torque to prevent wheelspin and continue tugging the car. I mean, for consistency, the gtr's probably up there with anything. Come to think of it, could you DO much worse than an ITR for bracket-racing consistency? naturally aspirated, fwd, short gearing, traditional clutch, light weight and low moment of inertia, quick steering, high optimum revs for launch, superhigh redline with gaping-hole low-rev torque... for SCCA it'd be a different story, but man, you've gotta have balls to try to compete with something like that in bracket racing, right? your times could be all over the map! Although, ITR DOES have a limited slip diff, right? That probably could somewhat offset any slight steering-lock-induced L/R launch torque-distribution issues.... but anyway.....

you do realize the gtr is illegal as shit for most any class of drag racing, right? most don't even allow you things like progressive nitrous controllers or delay boxes on a ragged out 67 nova, you really think they;re going to allow a damn gtr?

12/10/2008 5:04:42 PM

^nope. Didn't know that. But now I do. thanks!

12/10/2008 5:39:09 PM

you'd think with a post that long you at least wouldn't have grammar errors

12/10/2008 5:51:17 PM

wow danmangt40, i had trouble reading. haha
