Props on the garage!

There's an easy 70whp in a ECU/TCU for GT-Rs. So much fun to drive!

Top Gear was on tonight again and they had back to back episodes of the GT-R test and the race in Japan.

Seeing the GT-R at the track was just inspiring.

What does your package cost for the GTR? Do yo have any dyno numbers?

BTW

Props on the extra GTR. Is 1 going to be a track car? It is a fun car to drive but I can only drive 1 at a time

Since I'm space limited and can only own 3 to 4 cars at a time, I prefer to not have any redundant vehicles.

But duals are cool too.

Theres more than that with upgraded turbo actuators, FULL exhaust, and custom COBB AP tune! Reports have been close to +~150AWHP and 10.5sec/~130mph 1/4 times
