That being said, you know I'm a speed freak and the GT makes about 850 rwh on pump. It's fun to drive but will not hook until top of 3rd gear. After driving my Lambo which makes 1080 rwh on 93, nothing else comes close. I can plant 1400 wheel hp in 3rd gear on Toyo R888s on the street..it's nuts. I think I have screwed up my speed perception of cars having several twin-turbo cars..
I think your perception is just fine! Your lambo.....sooo coool!
Can you (maybe you did already?)post pics of the GT turbo set up? I would love to see that.

Take care,

What a great thread this is!


Cars are so many different things to so many different people! That's what I love about the hobby... you can do it anyway you want to and everybody is good with your choice. Drive 'em - or park 'em and pack 'em in cotton balls -- it's all good as long as that's what turns your crank.

If losses are in the forecast, you have a 32 and a cuda I'd be willing to take off your hands Seriously though, you and Greg have two of the nicest 32's I've seen, post a couple of pics if you get the time and Grey I'll see yours this weekend
