Default Lexus IS350 vs Nissan GTR?!

I lost. Baaadd. But it was still a BLAST!!

This was last year at the Pursuit. Excuse my film editing, this was my first ever attempt. Was going through my archives and found this and decided to try iMovie out at the same time. At the end of it, I thought I'd share.

Enjoy!!

I've had tons of Intake and exhaust setups(like 10). I believe this one was AFE intake(highly recommended), Invidia Mid-Pipe, and Tanabe axel-back(DO NOT RECOMMEND WITH INVIDIA, I agree, sounds good in the video, but out of all my setups, this was the worst.)

Joe-Z Race Exhaust FTW!!

Godzilla spares no one.

The IS350 might be a stoplight demon, but the GT-R is satan incarnate.

aww well, it's godzilla, you can't expect to beat it unless the driver is a complete noob.

anyways, i'm curious to know why the tanabe sounds bad with the invidia? raspy, droning?

No offense to the driver of that race, bc I believe she (yes i said she) is the wife of a forum member here, but godzilla was being driven by the slower driver of that day. I believe the husband was yielding way better times all day when he would run it.

Tanabe + Invidia = Too raspy and very ricey imo.

Either you jump the start or the GTR driver was wearing heels. I would have expect the GTR to be in the view as soon as you started. That's just too long for it to overtake you.

Its funny how you say here goes nothing in the beginning, good precusor to the task at hand. I'm also surprised she wasn't in the view sooner, maybe its the camera angle?
