It's still a GT-R.....its still stock....and it still ran 10.80's.....
2 100's in the 60....which increases exponentially at the end of the quarter especially on a car hookin with all 4 wheels.... plus higher octane fuel can shave a 10th no problem on a twin turbo....
we're talkin about a 10th....not half a second

Higher octane fuel... I agree.. as stated in my previous post. That is how they shaved the time most likely.
2 100th's on the 60' doesnt give you close to 2 10th's. Sorry. Were talking about 2 100th's of a second difference on the 60' between an 11.0 and the 10.8 run. Id like to compare both slips because the 60' is not where the time was made up.

I own a GTR- fastest car Ive had and its not remotely as fast as some of those crazy 900-1000 hp GTR's. But its not all about speed and acceleration- its about driving dynamics too. The connection between driver and car is important to me. It sounds like a load of crap but after owning so many nice cars its really quite appropriate.
I have not learned all so much from driving the GTR except that I can boldly go where I have not gone before. The GTR makes a basic driver good, and a good driver even better IMHO.
But driving it doesnt create an experience that I ultimately want. I have the car because it does a few things in an outstanding manner. I am over the love or hate looks but it still doesnt inspire me like the Porsche. I really have learned chassis response, driving dynamics, and how to be a better driver in my 3 Turbos I have owned. To me if its all about the faster car, Ill send my GTR to AMS or buy UG Lambo and have one of the fastest street cars out but... its not.
I look forward to my BS purchase and I have no doubt Ill enjoy the driveability of the car. If someone in a GTR lines up and beats me-- so what. Ill look damn good losing and go home smiling.
There is always something faster but that doesnt make it better.

I need to move closer to sea level. My BS only makes 420hp in the mountains.
