Do you know the 0-100 time on your car? I imagine 0-60 could be very low but to get a proper time you could risk breaking the diffs for a full bore launch.
I often found on my car that a half hearted launch would just bog, I tried it on grass and with all 4 wheels spinning it still took off like crazy.

Need to start tidying up the engine bay and prepping it for the new engine to go in, still need lots of other parts too.
Just hard work with the garage I currently have.
I did indeed go for a Precision in the end

Although why destroy a nice interior for what seems to be minimal weight savings ? Just hardly seems worth it. Many aspects there regarding SRS systems and no doubt cats would render it not MOT-able as is, despite what he says.
Definitely a very fast car though. Just a pity the likes of E85 isnt available at pumps !

Yeah must say I'm impressed with how much modern boxes and diffs seem to take I guess boost by gear helps alot with that, the addiction power and modding creates is plain to see lol that motor is bordering on undrivable
#72
There is no reason that motor shouldnt be perfectly driveable, again, especially with the DCT. It should drive near standard.

I've just got my old plots out on vbox for the gtr
v power 30-130 6.88 seconds
E50 30-130 6.28 seconds
And 100-200 kph e50 4.28 seconds
You can see one shift in first plot the v power 30-130 mph that was wheel spin shifting from first to second I believe, other than that all look like constant linear acceleration
I'd love to see a sequential comparison of those pulls
